Paging data before calling the API

Daniel_Figueredo

Hello all!

 

 

I'm using the Download tool to PUT my API and send some data as the last step of my workflow but since I'm manipulating quite a lot of data I'm getting the error "413 - Request Entity is too large".

 

I need to know if there is a way to iterate through this data and use a paging solution to send it little by little.

 

Best Regards.

Hi @Daniel_Figueredo ,

 

Yes you can achieve that with an iterative macro. There are quite a few threads in the community, so to begin with I will link you to two of those:

Hi @Daniel_Figueredo 

 

You may also use Throttle tool. 

Just insert it into your workflow and please try it.
