shubh7Q: Hi Team Fusioo, I'm interested in hopping on this deal.
Would like to build a custom dashboard for a small app I'm working on. Fusioo will serve as the front end. I will be using api to update the database in real time. May I know if there is a daily api quota and any such limits? Because I want to update a lot of data points in real time.
Also how do the users work? Will say the "10 users" have their separate login emails?
Can I convert the data into charts in your app?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,Sumoling

Thanks for your question!
Fusioo is not intended to be used as a headless CMS. The API limit is based on a moving window that tracks the number of requests sent per hour. The limit is 500 API calls per hour.
> Will say the "10 users" have their separate login emails?
Yes.
> Can I convert the data into charts in your app?
Yes, you can add new Widgets (charts, metrics etc) to your Dashboards to visualize the data.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for answering! :)
Does the api limit increase as we get a higher tier? I seriously think 500 api calls/hours is very low. Please mention the api limit clearly on the Appsumo deal page.
Hi @shubh7! Thanks for your reply.
To answer your question: yes, the limit is the same regardless of tier purchased (500 API calls per hour.). We apologize if that is not clear enough on the deal terms. Still, we appreciate your feedback regarding the limits not being sufficient and we'll be sure to review it internally.
Hopefully this clarifies it!
What is the difference between workspace vs workflow vs app?
I want to be building these dashboards for my clients and I want their data to be separate.
Does the 500 api calls/hour limit apply to all the calls combined or is it per app/workspace?
Is updating a cell of data and updating multiple cells in a single api call both considered as a single api request?
Can I share this to my client and make certain parts or the entire app/workspace of it to only readable? I don't want the data to be editable except if I do it or an api call updates it.
Hi @shubh7! Thanks for the question!
I believe that this was already answered by Andre, as I think your question ended up being posted twice. I'll copy and paste his response here as well:
"> What is the difference between workspace vs workflow vs app?
Apps are used to track and manage information. You could think of it as a table in a database or a sheet in a spreadsheet. For example, you can create a Projects App to track projects and a Sales Leads App to track your leads. A workspace is made up of multiple Apps and is essentially the place where you work. If you have multiple companies or departments that are completely segregated from one another, you can create multiple Workspaces to segregate your Apps/Users/Roles and Permissions etc..
Workflows are if-this-then-that rules that you set and forget. Example: When a new Fusioo record is created, send an Email to the project manager and post in the slack channel (Webhooks). Workflows are created per App.

The 500 API calls per moving hour are per Workspace. This is mostly a soft limit, so if you need more, feel free to contact our support by email or website chat.

Yes.

Yes, you can invite your clients as Lite Users (unlimited). You can learn more about Lite users here: https://www.fusioo.com/guide/regular-vs-lite-users"
Hope this information helps!
