Units for MX usage and bandwidth data

I am working with data from the /networks/{networkId}/appliance/uplinks/usageHistory and /networks/{networkId}/appliance/trafficShaping/uplinkBandwidth endpoints. The question I have is what units this data is in? The usage values for the sent and received data seems to be bytes based on what I am seeing. The bandwidth limitUp and limlitDown values I think are in Kbps based on the values I am getting and what I know about the connections to the appliances. 

 

Does anyone know for certain? Is there somewhere I can look that has the data definition for the endpoints that includes units for data when it is not obvious?

 

Thanks!

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-appliance-uplinks-usage-history the description says that usage is in bytes.

 

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-appliance-traffic-shaping-uplink-bandwidth is kbps, to see this you need to scroll down to the 'schema definition' and expand it.

I know I read that description multiple times and I missed where it said bytes. Must need more coffee...or maybe less coffee. Thanks for the info on the schema. That will be very useful for the future.

Yeah, it's easy to miss as there's no consistency about how/where (or if) units are defined.
