Is there a way to access PythonAnywhere CPU Allowance from a script?

I'm curious how my CPU allowance on PythonAnywhere is trending over several days. Is there a way to access this value from a script such that I can setup a Schedule task to take readings once an hour and save them?

Solution

  • PythonAnywhere dev here: There isn't, unfortunately, but that's a great suggestion! I'll add it to our list.

    Update

    And here is new (2019-09-11) API endpoint:

    /api/v0/user/{username}/cpu/

    GET Returns information about cpu usage in json format:

    {
    "daily_cpu_limit_seconds": <int>,
    "next_reset_time": <isoformat>,
    "daily_cpu_total_usage_seconds": <float>
}

    see the blog post with example of usage.
