M3ter Counter API

Endpoints for listing, creating, retrieving, updating, or deleting Counters. You can create Counters for your m3ter Organization, which can then be used as pricing metrics to apply a unit-based [CounterPricing](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/api#tag/CounterPricing) to Product Plans or Plan Templates for recurring subscription charges on Accounts. Counters can then be used to post [CounterAdjustments](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/api#tag/CounterAdjustments) on your end-customer Accounts. Accounts are then billed in accordance with the CounterPricing on Plans attached to the Accounts and for the actual Counter quantities Accounts subscribe to. See [Recurring Charges: Counters](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/guides/recurring-charges-counters) in our main user documentation for more details.
