What count as a Parse request?

Question

Because of the change of Terms, Parse now limits the number of requests a second, which is a good thing but does Parse Push and Parse Analytics count as requests ?

Answer 1

Anytime you make a network call to Parse on behalf of your app via the iOS, Android, JavaScript, Windows, Xamarin, Unity, or REST API, it counts as an API request.

This does include things like finds, saves, logins, amongst other kinds of requests. It also includes requests to send push notifications, although this is seen as a single request regardless of how many recipients are targeted. Serving Parse files counts as an API request, including static assets served from Parse Hosting.

Analytics requests do have a special exemption. You can send us your analytics events any time without being limited by your app's request limit, as noted on Parse's Plans page.
