Create a root key with the permissions listed on this page under Root Keys in the dashboard sidebar. CLI commands can instead use a session from unkey login with the required permissions. See Permission reference for every permission.
Count the requests that the Unkey API served for your workspace per time bucket, split by status class. The filters have the same shape as in logs.listApiRequests, without requestId. In one field, values under is, contains, startsWith, and endsWith are combined with OR. Values under isNot and notContains, and the range operators gt, gte, lt, and lte, are combined with AND. Different fields are combined with AND. Every text match is exact and case-sensitive. filters.time sets the window. A missing lower bound is the start of your log retention, and a missing upper bound is now. Unkey picks the bucket width from the window. It is the distance between the time of two points. The first bucket starts at or before the window start and counts its whole width. Windows reach back at most 100 days, and requests outside the log retention of your workspace are not counted.

Usage

Flags

string
A JSON object. Filters for the metrics. They have the same shape as the filters of logs.listApiRequests, without requestId. A missing field does not filter. Different fields are combined with AND.

Shared flags

These flags control authentication, requests, and output. CLI output and shared flags describes them in full.
string
A JSON document sent as the request body instead of building it from the flags above. It is mutually exclusive with the request-building flags, and unknown fields are rejected locally. See Send a raw body.
string
Root key used for the request. Falls back to UNKEY_ROOT_KEY, then stored credentials, including a CLI session. See CLI authentication for the full precedence order.
string
default:"https://api.unkey.com"
Base URL of the API. Falls back to UNKEY_API_BASE_URL. You don’t normally need to set it.
string
default:"~/.unkey/config.toml"
Path of the TOML config file. Falls back to UNKEY_CONFIG. An explicit --config takes precedence over a stored CLI session. Browser login stores a session, not a root key in this file. See CLI authentication.
enum
default:"human"
Use human (default) for name-first summary tables and labeled details, or json for the unchanged full response envelope, including all fields and pagination. Terminal tables use relative timestamps and may shorten display names and descriptions, but never identifiers, slugs, or credentials. Redirected human output keeps complete values and uses RFC3339 UTC timestamps. Falls back to UNKEY_OUTPUT; other values are rejected. --json also selects JSON output. Add --debug to print the request ID to stderr. See Output formats.
boolean
Print the successful response’s request ID to stderr, separate from stdout.
boolean
Print the full response as JSON. Takes precedence over a valid --output or UNKEY_OUTPUT value.

Required permissions

Your root key must have the following permission:
  • unkey:v1:<workspace_id>:logs/apiRequests#read
See Root key permissions.

Examples

Send the request body as JSON:

API endpoint

The command calls POST /v2/logs.getApiRequestMetrics and prints its response. See the endpoint definition for the HTTP contract. Request fields use camelCase in --body.
