Notes:
- For [key], substitute your Wowza Streaming Cloud API key or your access key as appropriate. For more information, see Locating and using API and access keys.
- For [version], substitute the version number of the API that you're using. For the current version, use v1.2.

The query returns details on usage for all stream targets during the specified timeframe. Usage for ultra low latency targets is listed by protocol (ultra low latency, or ull, and Apple HLS, or hls). Ultra low latency usage is listed by the zone where the servers are located. See Ultra low latency zones for more information about zones. Apple HLS streams have one zone, global.
The response for ultra low latency usage looks something like this:
{
"total": {
"bytes_used": 50004000,
"bytes_billed": 50004000,
"protocols": {
"ull": {
"zones": {
"zone_1": {
"bytes_used": 30002000,
"bytes_billed": 30002000
}
}
},
"hls": {
"zones": {
"global": {
"bytes_used": 20002000,
"bytes_billed": 20002000
}
}
}
}
},
"stream_targets": [
{
"id": "9xlpntfz",
"name": "My ultra low latency pull target with HLS backup",
"deleted": false,
"bytes_used": 50004000,
"bytes_billed": 50004000,
"protocols": {
"ull": {
"zones": {
"zone_1": {
"bytes_used": 30002000,
"bytes_billed": 30002000
}
}
},
"hls": {
"zones": {
"global": {
"bytes_used": 20002000,
"bytes_billed": 20002000
}
}
}
}
}
]
}
Note: Network usage for ultra low latency streams is available almost immediately. Bandwidth for Apple HLS streams, however, is subject to a delay of up to three hours. Billing information updates every 12 hours. As a result, bytes_used and bytes_billed may differ.
