# View API request stats

The dashboard provides detailed analytics and real-time statistics about your API usage.
You can monitor the number of requests, track the most used methods, and identify any potential
issues or bottlenecks.
This data is crucial for optimizing your applications and ensuring they run smoothly.

## Specify stats to view

1. In the left menu of the [Infura dashboard](https://app.infura.io/), select **Stats**.
   The stats page displays the total volume of requests sent to Infura over the specified time period.
   By default, data is shown from the last 24 hours from all Web3 API keys.

2. To change the API key, make a selection from the API keys dropdown.

3. To change the stats time range, make a selection from the time dropdown.
   Time values are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
   For Web3 API usage, you can choose from the following options:
   - **Last 15 Minutes** - The last completed 15 minutes.
     This updates once a minute.
   - **Last 1 Hour** - The last fully completed hour, from 0 to 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
   - **Last 24 Hours** - The last fully completed 24 consecutive hours.
     This is the default.
   - **Last 7 Days** - The last fully completed seven consecutive days.
     A day appears once it has been completed.
   - **Last 30 Days** - The last fully completed 30 days.
     A day appears once it has completed.

4. To view your IPFS usage, select **IPFS Usage** in the toggle in the top-right corner.
   You can choose to show data from the **Last 24 Hours** (default) or the **Last 7 Days**.
