“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
When Salesforce’s standard API usage report disappears, you lose access to historical data and manual export processes that couldn’t be automated.
You can rebuild comprehensive API usage archives with automated export capabilities that exceed what the missing standard report ever offered for data retention and historical analysis.
Build comprehensive export archives using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceexcels at exporting and archivingAPI usage history with capabilities that exceed what the missing standard report ever offered. The standard report had lost historical data when it disappeared, manual export processes that couldn’t be automated, and was limited to 7-day retention periods.
SalesforceYou can connect to available API usage sources like Event Monitoring objects and limits endpoints to rebuild historical datasets, set up automated archiving with scheduled daily snapshots, and save data to multiple export formats including CSV, Excel, or export back tocustom objects.
How to make it work
Step 1. Recover available historical data.
Connect to available API usage sources using Event Monitoring objects and limits endpoints to rebuild historical datasets. Use “From Objects & Fields” to access any available API usage custom objects that may contain historical information.
Step 2. Set up automated archiving.
Use “Scheduled Exports” to automatically push API usage data to external systems daily. Configure “Append New Data” to build comprehensive historical logs over time that preserve data indefinitely.
Step 3. Create multiple export formats.
Save data to CSV and Excel formats for external analysis, or export back to Salesforce custom objects for integration with other monitoring tools. Handle large historical datasets with batch export capabilities.
Step 4. Implement long-term archiving.
Set up monthly snapshots for long-term data archiving and compliance requirements. Configure retention settings to manage storage while preserving critical historical periods with timestamp preservation for accurate analysis.
Step 5. Build trend analysis exports.
Use formula calculations to derive usage trends and growth patterns before export. Create processed datasets that provide business intelligence beyond raw API consumption numbers.
Archive data better than before
Start buildingThis approach creates a robust API usage data archive that provides better historical visibility and longer retention than the original Salesforce report. You’ll have data availability regardless of future platform changes with automated processes that eliminate manual export work.your comprehensive API usage archive today.
