Statistics

The API Gateway begins monitoring and collecting data for reporting and analytics when the Developer applications are launched and starts accessing APIs. This statistics data provides real-time streaming analytical insights.

Analyzing these statistics can provide significant information about API popularity and usage trends. Understanding how APIs are used today and forecasting future trends and other API-related data and traffic flow enables you to make crucial business choices that increase API profitability.

Understanding statistical data allows us to gather information about API usage, analyzing traffic levels, calculating revenue contributions, identifying high-traffic APIs, and assessing downtime issues. This analysis is critical for optimizing performance and improving the user experience.

Gateway Response and Backend Response Time

Consider a scenario where a user sends a request to the gateway at time T1. The gateway forwards the request to the backend at time T2. The backend processes the request and sends it back to the gateway at time T3, and the gateway then delivers it to the user at time T4.

Thus, the Total Response Time to the user is T4 - T1. The Backend Response Time is T3 - T2, and the Gateway Response Time is the Total Response Time minus the Backend Response Time, calculated as (T4 - T1) - (T3 - T2).

Statistics Filters

The available statistics filters include Throughput, Latency, Error Rate, Top Selling, Maximum Revenue, Subscription By Version, Response Time, Top Developers, API Timeout, and Developers Usage. These filters allow you to analyze various aspects of API performance, usage, and developer activity.
