### Overview

Get paginated usage statistics for every dashboard in the caller's organization. Use `page[limit]` and `page[offset]` to walk the result set. Use `filter[edited_before]` or `filter[viewed_before]` to narrow results by recency. View-count fields depend on Real User Monitoring (RUM) and are `null` or `0` in orgs without RUM. This endpoint requires the `dashboards_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `dashboards_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#dashboards) to access this endpoint.

| --------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| page[limit]           | integer | Maximum number of dashboards to return per page. Server-side maximum is 500; values above 500 return a 400 Bad Request.                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| page[offset]          | integer | Zero-based offset into the result set.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| filter[edited_before] | string  | Return only dashboards whose last edit (`edited_at`) is strictly before this ISO 8601 timestamp (`edited_at < value`; boundary matches are excluded). Must include a timezone offset (for example, `Z` or `+00:00`); naive timestamps return HTTP 400.                                                               |
| filter[viewed_before] | string  | Return only dashboards whose most recent view (`viewed_at`) is strictly before this ISO 8601 timestamp, including dashboards that have never been viewed. Must include a timezone offset; naive timestamps return HTTP 400. Orgs without Real User Monitoring (RUM) will see all dashboards returned by this filter. |
