Too many items in operation - exceeds internal limit of 1000 items per operation
Answer ID 10980 |
Last Review Date 07/17/2019
Why am I seeing an API response indicating 'too many items in operation'?
Environment:
Public APIs (Connect REST, Connect Web Services for SOAP)
All product versions
Issue:
We are seeing an API response stating:
Too many items in operation - exceeds internal limit of 1000 items per operation
Resolution:
The reason for this error response on public API requests is due to a limit being reached in terms of the amount of objects sent in a single Batch request. The Batch operation enforces a hard limit of 100 items, as well as the limit of 1,000 objects on each CRUD (create, update or delete) operation.
