# Get compute efficiency breakdown

`GET /api/v1/databricks/cost/compute-efficiency`

Get compute efficiency breakdown.

Returns efficiency metrics including:
- Jobs vs All-Purpose ratio (healthy = >70% jobs)
- Serverless vs Provisioned breakdown
- Photon vs Standard engine usage

## Query parameters

- `start_date` string, date, required — Start date for the period
- `end_date` string, date — End date for the period
- `workspace_id` string, nullable — Filter by workspace ID
- `navigationSource` string, nullable

## Headers

- `x-tenant` string, required

## Response `200`
