API Data limit default changes

Post by jwcooper »

For the endpoint:
https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs/#get-feed-data

We will be adjusting the default limit of 1000 records down to 100 records on April 29th, 2022.

This is simply the default, and if you need to process more you can pass the proper params to retrieve more data.

We've found that they way these endpoints are being used is that this is being called over and over by programs at a rapid rate, when I don't think many users are expecting to retrieve the same 1000 records over and over again. This should help reduce some unexpected loads on our backend systems.
