What does "By pattern" mean in the routes table?

Requests are grouped by the registered route they matched, so /wp/v2/posts/1, /wp/v2/posts/2, ... appear as one row /wp/v2/posts/(?P[d]+) with the number of distinct paths. Switch to "By exact path" to see each URL separately. Requests that matched no route (404) are always shown by path.

TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and developers who use the REST-API to serve applications. It solves the problem of not being able to view and monitor API request activity, letting users filter and chart calls by method, path, response time, and count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about API Stats

30 days by default. Change it under Tools → API Stats → Stored data. Set it to 0 to keep data forever (the page shows how big the table is). Old events are removed hourly. Lowering the number deletes older events right away, after a confirmation that tells you how many; deleted events can't be restored by raising the number again. Developers can also set it in code: add_filter( 'sg_api_stats_retention_days', function () { return 90; } );

Use the "Delete all data" button under Tools → API Stats → Stored data. Recording continues afterwards. Uninstalling the plugin also removes its table and settings.

Yes, with the sg_api_stats_should_record filter. Return false to skip a request: add_filter( 'sg_api_stats_should_record', function ( $record, $request ) { return 0 !== strpos( $request->get_route(), '/wp/v2/' ); }, 10, 2 );

Yes. Return a label from the sg_api_stats_label filter. It is stored with the request and shown in the routes table when grouping by exact path: add_filter( 'sg_api_stats_label', function ( $label, $request ) { if ( preg_match( '#^/myapi/doc/(\d+)$#', $request->get_route(), $m ) ) { return get_the_title( (int) $m[1] ); } return $label; }, 10, 2 );

Requests are grouped by the registered route they matched, so /wp/v2/posts/1, /wp/v2/posts/2, ... appear as one row /wp/v2/posts/(?P<id>[\d]+) with the number of distinct paths. Switch to "By exact path" to see each URL separately. Requests that matched no route (404) are always shown by path.

Your site's timezone (Settings → General). Durations are measured from the start of REST API handling until the response is sent, in milliseconds.
