Improving API Call Speed with Multiple HTTP Columns

·

If I have an api that I am calling that isnt rate limited would calling it with two http columns each handling half the rows be faster than a single http column?

Yes, using two HTTP columns to split the workload would likely be faster than a single column. Our platform supports parallel processing, which can enhance performance by processing multiple records simultaneously. This approach allows both columns to run concurrently, effectively doubling your processing capacity when the API isn't rate limited.

Hi Owen, if you are not rate limit then using two HTTP API calls should make it faster!
