The Scenario
You're a developer ops lead. Your team uses ScreenshotOne across three internal tools — a QA pipeline, a content rendering service, and a marketing automation script. You're approaching the end of the billing cycle and you have no clear picture of how many API requests have been consumed versus the plan limit. Finance asked you this morning to submit a budget increase request if you're likely to exceed your quota. The approval window closes tomorrow.
You need total allowed, used, remaining, and concurrency limit — in writing, with a date — by end of day.
The bad version:
- Log into the ScreenshotOne dashboard, navigate to the usage section, read off the numbers.
- Copy them into an Excel workbook manually — total allowed, used, remaining, concurrency.
- Type today's date.
- Realize you can't tell from the dashboard what "billing period" the numbers belong to, and go hunting through account settings to confirm.
Four numbers and a date, turned into a fifteen-minute exercise in dashboard archaeology. The budget request you're supposed to be writing is still blank.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. It connects to ScreenshotOne's usage endpoint through its built-in integration and writes the current billing period stats — total requests, used, remaining, concurrency limit — directly into the workbook. One prompt, five seconds.
Pull my current ScreenshotOne API usage — total allowed, used, and remaining requests plus concurrency limit — and write the figures into row 2 of my 'API Usage' sheet with today's date in column A.
SheetXAI calls the ScreenshotOne usage endpoint and writes today's date in A2, total allowed in B2, used in C2, remaining in D2, and concurrency limit in E2.
What You Get
- Row 2 of the 'API Usage' worksheet populated with today's date and the four usage figures pulled directly from the API.
- The data reflects the current billing period — not a cached dashboard view.
- Columns are labeled in row 1 if the sheet is new (SheetXAI creates the header row automatically).
- If the usage endpoint returns an error, SheetXAI writes the error message in row 2 so you know the pull failed rather than getting a silent blank cell.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want the snapshot appended to a running log, not overwritten
The 'API Usage' worksheet already has prior snapshots in rows 2 through 10. You want today's numbers appended at the next available row, not pasted into row 2.
Fetch my ScreenshotOne API usage stats for the current billing period and append a new row to the 'API Usage' sheet with today's date in column A, total allowed in column B, used in column C, remaining in column D, and concurrency limit in column E — add after the last row that has data.
You want usage expressed as a percentage of the plan limit
Finance wants to see utilization percentage, not raw numbers.
Pull current ScreenshotOne API usage and write to row 2 of 'API Usage': today's date in column A, total allowed in column B, used in column C, remaining in column D, used as a percentage of total in column E (rounded to one decimal place), and concurrency limit in column F.
You want an alert flag if remaining requests are below a threshold
You want the snapshot to include a warning column so anyone looking at the workbook can instantly see if quota is getting tight.
Fetch ScreenshotOne API usage and write it to the next empty row in 'API Usage' — date, total, used, remaining, concurrency — then in column F write "LOW" if remaining requests are below 10% of total, "OK" otherwise.
Kill chain: snapshot usage, calculate burn rate, and flag if the team will likely exceed quota
You want the budget request data in one shot: current snapshot, average daily burn calculated from the usage log, and a projection of whether you'll exceed quota before the billing period resets.
Fetch current ScreenshotOne API usage and append it to 'API Usage' — date in column A, total in column B, used in column C, remaining in column D, concurrency in column E. Then in column F, calculate the average daily usage from all rows in the log and write the projected remaining-at-period-end in column G. Flag column H with "OVER QUOTA" if the projection shows we'll exceed total before reset, "OK" otherwise.
Numbers, projection, and flag — everything the budget request needs in one pull.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a fresh 'API Usage' workbook, then ask SheetXAI to pull your current ScreenshotOne billing stats and write them into the first data row. Also see how to track multi-viewport captures or the full ScreenshotOne integration overview.
