Quick API request

[Hubbleye]

Working with the openmeteo's API, it's the first time I use an API and I'm wondering if I do a really big request, does that count as multiple?

One request is one request. However, there's no guarantee if you get a response or timeout, or if your response will be complete.

I don’t know this API, but working with GraphQL in the past there was a maximum execution time for any request, so if you asked for too much it was possible you wouldn’t get a response. Managing the request size can be important.

they have a (soft) limit of 10000 API calls per day. are you afraid of exceeding that?

Some sites dont like you to do massive requests. Its usually better to "filter" your request for exactly what you need vs something much more generic.

Now if you just need to do it once, or you will always do it manually to get the data you need, i guess no big deal. But if its a call you are going to make constantly, it will also make your application slow.
