    Methods API response time

     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.

    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)..

    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.

    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.

    Thanks

    Dave,

    Can you please post API related questions in the Method API forum?  Posting questions like these in the regular Q&A forum will only confuse users who aren't familar with programming.

    Thanks!
