API to track data usage and time involved ?

[Adam-Baxter]

I see alot of awesome API's out, how could or does an API plugin exist to track data migration and vpn data for bandwith use? I am migrating a client's email and Fileservers , but bandwidth and time are challenges.

i map my time for this project internally, but would like to look at a broader scope of up/down traffic for future movements vs time on task vs negated bandwidths.
