Execute Macros in Parallel

Is it possible to execute macros in parallel and not serially in the same workflow? I have a macro that pulls data out of Facebook's API. It is taking very long because each macro instance is being executed one after another. If the macros were executed in parallel, then it would be much much faster

Let's assume Alteryx uses cURL - So this first became possible with cURL7.68.0 - which came out about 4 years ago. That may seem like  a ton of time - but considering cURL's history (1996) - that's relatively recent. The changes Alteryx would need to make to accomodate mulitple requests are fairly substantial (and in all likelihood would create substantive additional stability issues). If you need this - and you know what you're doing - you may be able to script it via CLI or Python.
