The accountability is one of the key features of the API Management, giving the capacity of tracking requests, being linked to users or applications. This accountability includes the responsibility for billing and allowing access to a determined set of features depending on the services payed.

In the case of INTER-IoT, it is out of scope to manage the billing of the API access, since the TRL does not corresponds to a ready-to-market product. However, the API Manager used in the project allows to manage this accountability, as well as API monitoring and billing set ups. Thus, the present recipe shows how to activate the accountability in the API Manager to register and track the usage of the INTER-API.

This feature would be helpful in commercial use cases but also in other scenarios such as testing and assessment.
