- API call; throughput
- Definition
- Segment documentation: each data blob sent to the Segment API endpoint "is considered one API call"; the throughput limit "tells you how many API calls and objects Segment allows you per MTU."
- Counting rules
- Throughput = (objects ingested + API calls received) / MTU allowance, aggregated across the workspace. Batching does not reduce throughput usage. Cloud object sources count one object per record retrieved, even if retrieved repeatedly.
- Floors / minimums
- Example limit of 250 calls and objects per paid MTU per month; Business plans often have custom limits.
