# API Key based metrics

API Behavioral Security (ABS) provides application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
\</div>)* key metrics including the total number of API keys and requests across all API keys.

The report also lists the Internet Protocol (IP) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The method by which data is sent across the internet from the source host to the destination host.\</p>
\</div>)* address, requesting device information, methods used, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>Identifies a resource according to its internet location.\</p>
\</div>)* accessed, and API affected. API key based metrics reporting spans all APIs.
