How many API calls in my code

Hi,

I would like to create x amount of plots, each including 5 data streams. Now, Iā€™m wondering how many API calls/day this would require. Depending on that I would need to upgrade my Plotly plan. Below you find parts of my source code. Can somebody tell me how when exactly it performs an API call?
