Recurly Measured Unit API

A measured unit describes a usage-based add-on's usage. If different usage-based add-ons share the same measured unit, you can report on customer usage for those add-ons at the aggregated measured unit level.

Operations 5

GET /measured_units List a site's measured units #
POST /measured_units Create a new measured unit #
GET /measured_units/{measured_unit_id} Fetch a measured unit #
PUT /measured_units/{measured_unit_id} Update a measured unit #
