V8 usage alert

Seeing a suspicious pattern of data usage? Send a notification email to an admin. Using a 'TransactionHistory' table, count the number of API calls in the last 5 minutes and send an email alert to the specified email address if the number of API calls exceeds a specific threshold, say 1,000 API calls. THis script could be triggered by API calls or scheduled to run periodically.

// We need a way to convert js date to mysql date format.
// That's what the following two functions do.
 
function twoDigits(d) {
    if (0 <= d && d < 10) return "0" + d.toString();
    if (-10 < d && d < 0) return "-0" + (-1 * d).toString();
    return d.toString();
}
 
var toMysqlFormat = function (x) {
    return x.getUTCFullYear() + "-" + twoDigits(1 + x.getUTCMonth()) + "-" + twoDigits(x.getUTCDate()) + " " + twoDigits(x.getUTCHours()) + ":" + twoDigits(x.getUTCMinutes()) + ":" + twoDigits(x.getUTCSeconds());
};
 
var timelapse = 5; // how many minutes to count
 
var threshold = 1000; // how many api calls are allowed
 
var query = "timestamp%3c" + toMysqlFormat(new Date(Date.now() - timelapse * 60000));
 
result = platform.api.get("db/_table/TransactionHistory?filter=(" + query + ")");
