“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.”
The API Usage report has been deprecated or relocated inconsistently across Salesforce orgs, with no clear migration path provided by Salesforce.
Rather than searching for the relocated report, you can implement a more reliable solution that provides better functionality and eliminates dependence on Salesforce’s inconsistent report availability.

How to make it work

Step 2. Set up automated monitoring.
Schedule daily refreshes to maintain continuous monitoring that replaces the missing report functionality. This ensures consistent data access regardless of Salesforce UI changes.
Step 3. Build historical data retention.
Create automated daily imports to maintain months of API usage history. This far exceeds the 7-day retention limit that the original report provided when it was available.
Step 4. Export for compliance and planning.
Export historical data for compliance requirements and capacity planning needs. Use the scheduled exports feature to push processed data back to custom Salesforce objects for integration with other systems.
