Get library usage metrics

Retrieve full usage metrics for a library: cumulative and daily request counters broken down by surface (web page, text docs, MCP, CLI), MCP client daily unique-user breakdown, and lifetime topic and country distributions. The API key must belong to a member of the teamspace that owns the library — claim ownership from the library's admin page on context7.com.
