This guide provides strategies to minimize API overhead when integrating with Clari. Users can optimize export frequency (e.g., daily vs. quarterly), implement data caching, and restrict data exports to only the necessary types, thereby reducing operational costs and improving system performance.

Overview

Clari Cost Tuning

Overview

Minimize Clari API overhead: reduce export frequency, cache aggressively, export only needed data types, and monitor usage.

Instructions

Export Only What You Need

# Full export (6 data types) -- more API load
full_types = ["forecast", "quota", "forecast_updated",
              "adjustment", "crm_total", "crm_closed"]

# Minimal export (2 data types) -- faster and lighter
minimal_types = ["forecast", "crm_closed"]

# Use minimal for dashboards, full for audit/compliance

Optimize Export Frequency

Use Case Recommended Frequency
Executive dashboard Daily
Forecast accuracy tracking Weekly
Compliance audit Quarterly
Ad-hoc analysis On demand

Cache to Avoid Redundant Exports

# Cache recent exports (see clari-performance-tuning)
cache = ExportCache(ttl_hours=8)

def smart_export(client, forecast_name, period):
    cached = cache.get(forecast_name, period)
    if cached:
        print(f"Cache hit for {period}")
        return cached

    data = client.export_and_download(forecast_name, period)
    entries = data.get("entries", [])
    cache.set(forecast_name, period, entries)
    return entries

Usage Tracking

class ClariUsageTracker:
    def __init__(self):
        self.api_calls = 0
        self.exports = 0

    def track_call(self):
        self.api_calls += 1

    def track_export(self):
        self.exports += 1

    def report(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "api_calls": self.api_calls,
            "exports": self.exports,
        }
