API summary metrics

Gain Instant API Insights with the New Daily Summary Resource in iFormBuilder

May 5, 2026

If your team relies on the iFormBuilder API, you know how quickly request data can pile up. Sifting through raw logs to understand which endpoints get the most traffic — or where your integration effort is concentrated — takes time that could be spent building, not digging.

That changes with the new daily_summary resource. It gives you a concise, pre-aggregated view of your API activity so you can spot trends and make decisions without consuming all of the raw data yourself.

What Is the Daily Summary Resource?

The daily_summary resource is a new API endpoint that rolls up your platform’s request activity into a single, easy-to-read summary. Instead of pulling thousands of individual log entries and crunching numbers on your side, you get your top API requests grouped together by URI and listed in descending order, so the most popular requests surface immediately.

With the daily summary you can:

  • Quickly identify your most popular API requests, grouped by URI and ranked by volume.
  • Gain insight into your usage patterns without exporting and processing raw request data.
  • Monitor adoption of new integrations or detect unexpected spikes in traffic.
  • Share clear, digestible usage data with stakeholders who don’t want to read through raw logs.

Why It Matters for Admins and Integration Teams

Teams that manage iFormBuilder integrations often need to answer questions like “Which API calls are running the most?” or “Has traffic shifted since we launched a new workflow?” Before now, answering those questions meant pulling raw API request data, writing scripts to aggregate it, and hoping you had the right date range.

The daily_summary resource eliminates that entire step. It’s pre-aggregated at the platform level, which means you get insight into your most popular requests in a single call — no post-processing required. Think of it as a built-in usage dashboard you can query programmatically.
