Apigee edge usage- transaction cost?

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I am doing some basic developement for trial on Apigee edge with my free account. I have questions about transaction limits and usage pricing.

Assuming 250,000 transactions/quarter available;

1) If I test my API proxy using tool like postman, this result in transaction count increase.

2) If I test API in same organization using epigee API console test tool or using test tool (from one of the 5 global operation center of Apigee ) mentioned in below link;

http://docs.apigee.com/analytics-services/apigeetest/apigee-test-overview

Does it also result in transaction count increase ?

3) How can I check how many transaction counts are remaining out of quota limit (250k/quarter)?

4) I am using multiple api proxies where one proxy is calling another proxy both hosted on epigee edge cloud . Would that result in 2 transaction count for every one transaction from end user?

For 1, 2, and 4, the answers are yes. The transactions would count, regardless of source (unless someone jumps in and corrects me).

On 3, you can use the analytics API to retrieve count for greater than the time range allowed by the UI. See http://docs.apigee.com/analytics-services/content/use-analytics-api-measure-api-program-performance for reference.. an example:

➜  curl "https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/organizations/<yourorg>/environments/prod/stats/?select=sum(message_count)&timeRange=05/01/2016%2000:00~07/31/2016%2024:00"
{
  "environments": [
    {
      "metrics": [
        {
          "name": "sum(message_count)",
          "values": [
            "12229.0"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "name": "prod"
    }
  ],
  "metaData": {
    "errors": [],
    "notices": []
  }
}
