Does a Pre-hook consume an extra API call?
-
For example if I set up a pre hook as outlined here: https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/cloud-code-central/handy-cloud-code-scripts/restrictclientcalls-script/
Will it consume an extra API call for each API call made from the client? From my testing in the API Explorer, I don't see it registering the pre hook as an extra API call, but there was a discussion on discord that suggested that a whitelist prehook would create an extra api call per invocation.
Thanks!

OK. I don't see the extra api call being flagged in the api explorer though.
For Example:
you get 2 more apis calls free so this one shouldnt cost extra.
If I need to make 3 or more api calls in my custom Cloud Code then I will, in effect, be paying for this call

Hi Travis,
I can confirm that indeed there is an API call count for calling a pre/post hook script - we'll look to see if we can make that clearer in the docs.
That said, Ali is very correct, like all scripts, the next 3 API calls are free, and scripts after that are 1/2 count each.
Hope that clarifies things!

Apologies for reviving this thread, but does this mean that an operation with a pre hook and a post hook that don't make any API calls of their own count as one API call (pre-hook counts as API call, then operation and post-hook are free). Or does an operation with a pre-hook and a post-hook cost 3 API calls?

@Ben-Morris unfortunately yes
they promised to solve it in BC 5.0 though
