API Usage Explanation

Every time Proff Connect retrieves data from the Proff API, it consumes API calls from your quota. This page explains exactly how calls are counted per feature so you can plan and manage your usage effectively.

Creating a new Account

New Account Override / Company Search List Button

Searching and creating a new Account involves up to two API calls:

• Search by name: 1 call for the search query. Selecting a company from the results to preview it costs 1 additional call.
• Search by org number: 1 call — the result is returned directly.

---

Enrich Lead

Follows the same logic as creating a new Account:

• Search by name: 1 call for the search, then 1 additional call when selecting a company from the results.
• Search by org number: 1 call.

---

Sync Account

1 API call per sync.

---

Company Insight

Fetching Company Insight data directly from the Company Insight LWC costs 1 API call, regardless of how many data categories are retrieved.

---

License tab – checking API usage

Viewing your token usage and quota in the Authentication Setup tab costs 1 API call.

---

Bulk Create

Creating up to 500 companies via Bulk Create costs 1 API call — whether you create 1 or 500 records in one operation.

---

Job Center

Mass Update 1 API call per Account being synchronized. Running a Mass Update on 500 Accounts consumes 500 API calls.

Real-Time Changes 1 API call per 1,000 companies that have changed in Proff — regardless of how many of those companies exist in your Salesforce org. The system retrieves all changes from Proff and filters them against your Salesforce data to identify which apply to your existing Accounts.
