How can I get the total storage used by a member using the API?

I'm trying to get a list of all members and the storage used by each using the business API. The members/list api doesn't seem to return the storage used by the member. How else can we get at this in...

The call per member could be a slow operation and potentially run into api throttling for mass reporting.

The admin center export of members has a column for member storage. Is there a programattic way of generating and downloaidng this export?

No, unfortunately that's not accessible via the API.

    Is there a place or way we can track the feature request for this new functionality?

        Hi Greg, Any update on this feature request?

         

        Getting space usage for each user by /users/get_space_usage is slow and eventually runs into rate limit or retry exception.
