REST API: Usage Records


The UsageRecords resource provides a simple API to retrieve actions made by your Twilio account during any period and by any usage category. This makes it easy to build reporting and analytics tools for your application.

UsageRecords used in combination with Subaccounts created for each of your end-users make it possible to build recurring usage-based billing systems on top of Twilio's API with just a few simple API calls. If rectifying UsageRecords with billing, see our dedicated article.

You can also set up usage triggers to notify your application when a particular category of usage reaches a threshold on a daily, monthly, yearly, or all-time basis. Triggers can help determine if your users have reached a usage cap or if your application has runaway requests.


UsageRecord Properties

usagerecord-properties page anchor

This resource and its subresources always return a list of UsageRecords. Each UsageRecord is represented by the following properties:

Resource properties
account_sidtype: SID<AC>Not PII

api_versiontype: stringNot PII

The API version used to create the resource.


as_oftype: stringNot PII

Usage records up to date as of this timestamp, formatted as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00. All timestamps are in GMT


categorytype: enum<STRING>Not PII

The category of usage. For more information, see Usage Categories(link takes you to an external page).


counttype: stringNot PII

The number of usage events, such as the number of calls.


count_unittype: stringNot PII

The units in which count is measured, such as calls for calls or messages for SMS.


descriptiontype: stringNot PII

A plain-language description of the usage category.


end_datetype: string<DATE>Not PII

The last date for which usage is included in the UsageRecord. The date is specified in GMT and formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.


pricetype: numberNot PII

The total price of the usage in the currency specified in price_unit and associated with the account.


price_unittype: string<CURRENCY>Not PII

The currency in which price is measured, in ISO 4127(link takes you to an external page) format, such as usd, eur, and jpy.


start_datetype: string<DATE>Not PII

The first date for which usage is included in this UsageRecord. The date is specified in GMT and formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.


subresource_uristype: object<URI MAP>Not PII

A list of related resources identified by their URIs. For more information, see List Subresources(link takes you to an external page).


uritype: stringNot PII

The URI of the resource, relative to https://api.twilio.com.


usagetype: stringNot PII

The amount used to bill usage and measured in units described in usage_unit.


usage_unittype: stringNot PII

The units in which usage is measured, such as minutes for calls or messages for SMS.


Usage, Count, and Price

usage-count-price page anchor

Each UsageRecord contains three amounts: Usage, Count, and Price. Usage is the primary way usage is measured for that category: minutes for calls, messages for SMS, etc. Count is the number of usage events: calls for calls, etc. Price is the price of the usage in the currency associated with the account.

Each UsageRecord also has fields that show the units in which each amount is measured: Usage is measured in units of UsageUnit, for instance. These fields make it easy to build usage dashboards. For example, you can always display human-readable strings describing usage with "$Usage $UsageUnits", "$Count $CountUnits", or "$Price $PriceUnits".


A UsageRecord's Category defines the type of usage it represents. The full list of all categories is here, but you'll usually focus on just a few common categories:

CategoryDescription
callsInbound and outbound voice calls. Does not include SIP or client calls. Count is the number of calls and Usage is the number of minutes.
smsAll SMS messages. Count and Usage are both the number of messages sent.
pfax-minutesProgrammable Fax minutes. Count is the number of faxes and Usage is the number of minutes.
pfax-pagesProgrammable Fax pages. Count is the number of faxes and Usage is the number of pages.
phonenumbersAll phone numbers owned by the account.
recordingsRecordings of voice calls. Count is the number of recordings and Usage is the number of recorded minutes.
transcriptionsTranscriptions of voice calls. Count is the number of transcriptions and Usage is the number of transcribed minutes.
pvAll Programmable Video usage including TURN. Price accounts for expenses in all Programmable Video products. Count and Usage should be ignored.
totalpriceTotal price of all usage. Usage will be the same as Price, and Count will be empty. Note that because some Twilio costs may not be included in any usage category, the sum of the Price of all UsageRecords may not be equal to the Price of TotalPrice.

Read multiple UsageRecord resources

read-multiple-usagerecord-resources page anchor
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Usage/Records.json

By default, the UsageRecords resource will return one UsageRecord for each Category, representing all usage accrued all-time for the account. You can filter the usage Category or change the date-range over which usage is counted using optional GET query parameters. Note that query parameters are case-sensitive:

Parameters

For example, you might request all usage records for the month of April, 2012. In this case, the query string would be StartDate=2012-04-01&EndDate=2012-04-30. This would return one UsageRecord for each usage-type summarizing the usage during April. The list includes paging information.

It's also possible to group usage by day, by month, or by year using the subresources described below.

List Subresources

list-subresources page anchor

The main UsageRecords list resource supports a variety of convenience subresources. In general, these take the form:


_10
/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Usage/Records/{Subresource}

Supported subresources are:

SubresourceDescription
DailyReturn multiple UsageRecords for each usage category, each representing usage over a daily time interval.
MonthlyReturn multiple UsageRecords for each usage category, each representing usage over a monthly time interval.
YearlyReturn multiple UsageRecords for each usage category, each representing usage over a yearly time interval.
AllTimeReturn a single UsageRecord for each usage category, each representing usage over the date range specified. This is the same as the root /Usage/Records.
TodayReturn a single UsageRecord per usage category, for today's usage only.
YesterdayReturn a single UsageRecord per usage category, for yesterday's usage only.
ThisMonthReturn a single UsageRecord per usage category, for this month's usage only.
LastMonthReturn a single UsageRecord per usage category, for last month's usage only.

These convenience subresources can be used to draw a graph of daily calls, display dashboards of monthly usage across all usage categories, or build a simple usage-based billing system based on last month's usage totals.

All subresources support the same list filters as the root UsageCounters resource.
