What is a request?

A request is every incoming hit your server container receives.

We count any incoming requests sent to your Google Tag Manager Server container towards your subscription's request limit. This includes all script loads like gtm.js, analytics.js, gtag.js, etc. This also includes Data Store requests.

The number of requests that Stape receives does not equal the number of events you see in GA4 or other analytics. You can roughly estimate how many requests will come to your server container by looking at the number of your events for the past 30 days and then adding 30%. So, if you have 10000 GA4 events over a month, your Stape server container will receive 13000 requests. For precise estimations, use our pricing calculator.  

To see the number of your GA4 events, access your GA4 account and open Reports → Engagement → Events.
