Check that heartbeats are received by the WakaTime api with the ``last_heartbeat`` and ``last_plugin`` attributes from the `current user <https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current>`_ api resource.
You can also see a list of all your plugins and when they were last seen by the api with the `user_agents <https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current/user_agents>`_ api endpoint.
Useful API Endpoints::
