1111The Usage and Cost Admin API provides programmatic and granular access to historical API usage and cost data for your organization. This data is similar to the information available on the [Usage](https://platform.claude.com/usage) page (`platform.claude.com/usage`) and the [Cost](https://platform.claude.com/cost) page (`platform.claude.com/cost`) in the Claude Console.

1515* **Accurate usage tracking:** Get precise token counts and usage patterns instead of relying solely on response token counting
1616* **Cost reconciliation:** Match internal records with Anthropic billing for finance and accounting teams
1717* **Product performance and improvement:** Monitor product performance while measuring if changes to the system have improved it, or set up alerting
18* **[Rate limit](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/rate-limits) optimization:** Optimize features like [prompt caching](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching) or specific prompts to make the most of your allocated capacity.

317API usage from playground in the Claude Console (and from the legacy Workbench before it) is not associated with an API key, so `api_key_id` will be `null` even when grouping by that dimension.
