Monthly Billable API Calls (BAC)
How do I find out how many Billable API Calls (BAC) I've used for the month, and what those calls were attributed to? I understand we're contracted to a certain amount of BAC monthly and will wan...

We've also just started using the API Calls metrics from Advanced metrics and it seems to be pretty complete. There's some additional calls that might be caused by stuff like ActiveCasts, LevelUP apps and possibly even some parts of the LSW integration. Would be good if #Lithium could confirm the viability and completeness of the API calls metrics.
On a related note on how to keep BAC under control:
We have had some experience to reduce API calls by implementing sensible caching of components (especially those that don't need instant updating like e.g. "latest blogs" or some leaderboards) and macros. If you haven't done soe your dev team might want to have a look there:
Great. Thank you both. Looks like we're well within our margins.
We recently completed some optimization work that eliminated a login request and thus wiped nearly 50% of our calls. Optimizations beyond that would be like splitting hairs at the current consumption rate.
I've noted some spikes in LSW-related activity, which I'd be interested to learn more about. We make less than a thousand Community posts through LSW every month and otherwise leverage the integration for keyword monitoring and alerts.
