&lt;p&gt;Can you please post API related questions in the Method API forum? &amp;nbsp;Posting questions like these in the regular Q&amp;amp;A forum will only confuse users who aren&amp;#39;t familar with programming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Methods API response time</title><link>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/4886.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Feb 2011 16:24:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3393c1ec-311b-4812-96cb-ad8c611bba4f:4886</guid><dc:creator>DaveS</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/4886.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=4886</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have a question about using the MethodsAPI. Can you tell me what type of response time I should see when i query a methods table like the transaction table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand that the returned XML dataset response time will be based on the amount of data I request (number of records and fields requested and other factors)..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example: if in a API query request I ask for 100 records with 4 fields, it returns in say 1 sec. If I ask for 100,000 records it may take 30+ minutes. Do you have any benchmark times for amount of data requested and the time it should take to receive the XML data. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a limit on how many records I can return? Do you have a recommendation on how large a dataset can be before seeing bad response time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
