Web API

Hello,

 

There has been talk that the API can only handle 200 - 300 connections at a time and it bottlenecks if it goes higher. I ask because we experienced something similar during a big ticket sale last month (hundreds of people trying to hit the website at the same time). Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so how did you compensate for it?

 

Description: myVirtualCard

  • Thanks for all of you who gave me input into the API. It is worth taking a look at the documentation to test the API. Not to mention possibly creating a waiting room at the checkout process.

    Hi Robert

    There is now a test hardness available for the API - documentation here - ;that will let you run diagnostic testing to see what load your api can actually handle. It only tests from the  the API back, of course, not your website or any other front-end components, but it can give you basic information about what load your api can actually handle, and help you distinguish between api and website as a source of performance issues.
