Please provide necessary steps for reproduction of this issue, or better the reduced test case (without any external dependencies, if possible).

1. make an API call
2. see that API has been called in Piwik

It is not currently possible. What kind of metrics to you want in Piwik?

[Strubbl]

I want to see, which API endpoint is used how often. Just the usual stats like when you use the web interface.

[j0k3r]

Well it's not as easy as when you use the web interface. From the web interface we call the Piwik script which gather some information automatically from the browser, the ip location and a lots of more information.

On the API scope we aren't in a browser, so we can't get all that stuff. This means we need to send them manually to Piwik. Lucky us there is a SDK for that.

But regarding the very long list of different set* method, we need to define which one should be called with which value.
