Hey , making an API call says data exceeded . Why ? and how to remove this error
The error occurs because your API call returned data larger than our 200kb cell limit.
To fix this:
• Split data into smaller chunks - Use API parameters like limit and offset to request smaller datasets
• Request specific fields only - Use dot notation to fetch only needed data subsets (e.g., Results.child.grandchild)
• Summarize the data - Remove unnecessary fields or use AI to condense content
• Process externally - Write large data to Google Sheets first, then import summarized data back to Clay
The 200kb limit is fixed and cannot be increased.

i watch to fetch name , tagline and featuredat from response . rest is just noise for me. Please tell me how to do that so limit will not exceed.
Use the Field Paths to Return option in your HTTP API integration to fetch only specific fields. [1]
Enter these field paths separated by commas:
name
tagline
product.featuredAt
Did that answer your question?
The "Field Paths to Return" option should appear as a separate input field in your HTTP API configuration panel. It's typically located after the headers section and before the run settings. [1]
If you don't see it, scroll down in the configuration panel - it may be below the visible area in your screenshot. The field allows you to enter multiple field paths separated by commas, like: name, tagline, product.featuredAt [2]
This field is specifically designed for APIs with large responses to pull only the data you need. [3]

Is that what you were looking for?
The field paths are case-sensitive and must match the exact structure in the API response. [1] Your response shows "Product" (capital P) but you specified "product.featuredAt" (lowercase p).
Update your field paths to match the actual response structure:
name
tagline
Product.featuredAt
The field paths must use dot notation for nested parameters and match the exact casing from the API response. [2] Click into the specific cell to see more details about the response structure if needed.
