Will Tooling API request from apex code count towards API limit?

Hi, I would like to know if the tooling API request made from apex code will count towards API request limit.
Please give me an answer as earlier as possible.

Thanks

Hi,

Tooling API  falls under the general API limits but can't find any hard confirmations.
Looking at the current Salesforce Limits Quick Reference Guide(http://resources.docs.salesforce.com/206/17/en-us/sfdc/pdf/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.pdf)

API Limits for concurrent and total API requests, bulk API operations, API cursors, and limits on some selected APIs.

In addition:
  1. The Tooling Guide(https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/sfdc/pdf/api_tooling.pdf) just mentions using either a REST or SOAP-based API and does not mention any limits.
  2. The Analytics API's limits fall under the general API limits (Winter '14 Release Notes(http://resources.docs.salesforce.com/186/latest/en-us/sfdc/pdf/salesforce_winter14_release_notes.pdf), page 170)

There is an idea on the success community which is active for which you can upvote; Hope this helps.

Please mark this as solved if it's resolved.

Thanks,
Nagendra.
