# Update user quota
|
|
|
|
:warning: Since v2.4.0 you can use the [EventManager](../../docs/eventmanager.md) to schedule quota scans.
|
|
|
|
The `scanuserquota` example script shows how to use the SFTPGo REST API to update the users' quota.
|
|
|
|
The stored quota may be incorrect for several reasons, such as an unexpected shutdown while uploading files, temporary provider failures, files copied outside of SFTPGo, and so on.
|
|
|
|
A quota scan updates the number of files and their total size for the specified user and the virtual folders, if any, included in his quota.
|
|
|
|
If you want to track quotas, a scheduled quota scan is recommended. You can use this example as a starting point.
|
|
|
|
The script is written in Python and has the following requirements:
|
|
|
|
- python3 or python2
|
|
- python [Requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/) module
|
|
|
|
The provided example tries to connect to an SFTPGo instance running on `127.0.0.1:8080` using the following credentials:
|
|
|
|
- username: `admin`
|
|
- password: `password`
|
|
|
|
Please edit the script according to your needs.
