Are Apex Callouts counted in API request Limits per 24 hour period ?

Based on API Request Limits mentioned in the document :

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.meta/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet/salesforce_app_limits_platform_api.htm

Example : For Enterprise Edition : Total Calls Per 24-Hour Period : 100,000 + (number of licenses x calls per license type) + purchased API Call Add-Ons

1) Does this include Apex callouts made to external System also ?
2) Does Apex Callouts have only transactional limits (100 callouts in single transaction) or do they also include in 24 hour period limit mentioned above ?

Hi Venkat,

Greetings!

Yes,it does count the callouts made to external systems from salesforce.

Regarding the second one the callouts per transcation is 100 but this is not the 24 hour period since it is counts per transcation.

Reference:https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_callouts_timeouts.htm#:~:text=A%20single%20Apex%20transaction%20can,the%20maximum%20is%20120%2C000%20milliseconds.

Kindly mark it as best answer if it helps so that it can help others in the future.

Warm Regards,

HI Shirisha, 

Thanks for your reply. 

I was looking into Salesforce App Limit Sheets : http://resources.docs.salesforce.com/200/9/en-us/sfdc/pdf/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.pdf

At page no 37 in the doc it says : Any action that sends a call to the API counts toward usage limits, except the following:

• Outbound messages

• Apex callouts

I'm in pickle now. Please let me know which is the right one.
