#### Can I see DeepL Write API usage in my reporting?

We've added a new column to the [API key-level usage report](/docs/getting-started/managing-api-keys#get-api-key-level-usage) that breaks out text improvement characters separately. The character counts in the [Usage tab](https://www.deepl.com/your-account/usage) of your API account are a sum of both Translate *and* Write characters; these are not yet broken out separately.

#### Is "Corrections Only" mode available in the API?

No. "Corrections Only" is a mode that fixes spelling and grammatical errors only without broader rephrasing. It is currently only available in the DeepL Translator UI.

If you make an API request to `/write/rephrase` and omit both `writing_style` and `tone`, the API uses its default improvement mode. This corrects grammar and spelling but may also make broader changes than the "Corrections Only" mode in the UI.
