# Query organization usage metrics with the Neon API

You can use the Neon API to retrieve project-level consumption metrics for your organization:

| Metric                                                                                                      | Description                                                                       | Plan Availability |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| [Project-level](/guides/apis-sdks-reference-api-consumption-get-consumption-history-per-project) (granular) | Project-level metrics available at hourly, daily, or monthly level of granularity | Scale             |

## Finding organizations for consumption queries

Before querying consumption metrics, you'll need the `org_id` values for organizations you want to query. Use your personal API key to list all organizations you have access to:

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/users/me/organizations' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY' | jq
```

The response includes details about each organization, including the `org_id` you'll need for consumption queries:

```json
{
  "organizations": [
    {
      "id": "org-morning-bread-81040908",
      "name": "Morning Bread Organization",
      "handle": "morning-bread-organization-org-morning-bread-81040908",
      "plan": "free_v2",
      "created_at": "2025-04-30T14:43:00Z",
      "managed_by": "console",
      "updated_at": "2025-04-30T14:46:22Z"
    },
    {
      "id": "org-super-grass-41324851",
      "name": "Super Org Inc",
      "handle": "super-org-inc-org-super-grass-41324851",
      "plan": "scale_v2",
      "created_at": "2025-06-02T16:56:18Z",
      "managed_by": "console",
      "updated_at": "2025-06-02T16:56:18Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Project-level metrics (granular)

You can also get similar daily, hourly, or monthly metrics across a selected time period, but broken out for each individual project that belongs to your organization.

Using the endpoint `GET /consumption_history/projects`, let's use the same start date, end date, and level of granularity as our account-level request: hourly metrics between June 30th and July 2nd, 2024.

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/consumption_history/projects?limit=10&from=2024-06-30T00%3A00%3A00Z&to=2024-07-02T00%3A00%3A00Z&granularity=hourly&org_id=org-ocean-art-12345678' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY'
```

### Project-level metrics (for the current billing period)

To get basic billing period-based consumption metrics for each project in the organization `org-ocean-art-12345678`, include `org_id` in the `GET /projects` request for consumption metrics:

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects?org_id=org-ocean-art-12345678' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY'
```

See more details about using this endpoint on the [Manage billing with consumption limits](/guides/building-on-neon-guides-consumption-limits#retrieving-metrics-for-all-projects) page in our Platform integration guide.

## Metric definitions

- **active\_time\_seconds**: The number of seconds the project’s computes have been active during the period.

- **compute\_time\_seconds**: The number of CPU seconds used by the project's computes, including computes that have been deleted; for example:

  - A compute that uses 1 CPU for 1 second is equal to `compute_time=1`.
  - A compute that uses 2 CPUs simultaneously for 1 second is equal to `compute_time=2`.

- **written\_data\_bytes**: The total amount of data written to all of a project's branches.

- **synthetic\_storage\_size\_bytes**: The total space occupied in storage. Synthetic storage size combines the logical data size and Write-Ahead Log (WAL) size for all branches.
