Many shopping carts have an entity limit in one request. Even if it is said that there is no limitation, you should be careful and not to include too many entities in a single API request since it may negatively affect your system and client’s store performance. It is better to extract data in smaller chunks (4­-50 items), what guarantees a correct result.

API2Cart makes it possible to extract a maximum of 250 elements in our list methods. Sometimes this value can be smaller for some API-based platforms due to technical limitations on the part of the platform. We recommend selecting values from 20 to 250 individually for each type of request and store. When selecting the count value, you should take into account the request execution time, the list of fields that will be in the response, and how long your application can wait for a response from API2Cart.
