⚡ About ⚡

The Google Tag Manager API provides access to Google Tag Manager configuration data for an authorized user. With this API you can manage: accounts, containers, worksapces, tags, triggers and variables

Benefit

The Google Tag Manager API handles millions of operations. To protect the system from receiving more operations than it can handle, and to ensure an equitable distribution of system resources, it is necessary to employ a quota system.
