Hi there,

As a first step, it is important to specify the product toward which you are expecting to have an API counting the character usage for each of your subscribed App Engine users.

Now concerning the character usage itself, I will need the following information in order to help you further with your request:
    1. What type of users are your referring under “linked users”? (regular or other services on the Cloud Platform)
    2. Have you tried implementing or would you have a description on how you would expect the desired API counting and returning the number of characters used by each users? (for example summing all characters sent in multiple request per user ID)

As an example, you can refer to the Translation API Usage Quotas that are counted in terms of all characters sent to the API for a single application.

Hi

Please find my answers inline

As a first step, it is important to specify the product toward which you are expecting to have an API counting the character usage for each of your subscribed App Engine users.
---> I am using Google Cloud Translation API for my App

 1. What type of users are your referring under “linked users”? (regular or other services on the Cloud Platform)

---> Regular

2. Have you tried implementing or would you have a description on how you would expect the desired API counting and returning the number of characters used by each users? (for example summing all characters sent in multiple request per user ID)

---> Description which i can think of for its implementation :
   I can have a var data: Int = 100  ( and it can store the count )

then  i can have save() and load() function implemented
   
Save() function will update the data count when user finishes translating after subtracting from the initial count ( 100 as specified )  and persist that data ( eg. save it to user defaults )

and then i can give write the load() function which will read from these user-defaults when the application loads back


Please let me know if you any more info but i believe you can have  more ways/methods  of implementing this


Thanks

Thank you for the additional information, I do see how this could be a nice feature for the Translation API and have already submitted your request to the backline team. I will post any updates as they will become available.

Note that I have moved this issue to the Cloud Platform Issue Tracker for more suitable categorization purposes.

Regards

As an update, the backline team is looking into this feature request and further updates on its approval should be posted by the end of next week.

Thank you

This feature request has been filed, and future updates will be posted to the tracker. Note that for feature requests there is no guarantee of any time frame for updates or that the requested feature will ultimately be implemented.

thanks for the update
