How To Handle Large Response From An API In Python

Handling large responses from APIs in Python can be challenging, especially when dealing with substantial amounts of data. Here are some strategies to efficiently manage such scenarios: Pagination If the API supports it, use pagination to retrieve data in smaller chunks. Fetch a limited number of records per request, and then iterate through subsequent pages. This approach prevents overwhelming your system with a massive response all at once. import requests def fetch_data_from_api ( url , page_size = 50 ):     all_data = []     page = 1     while True :         response = requests . get ( url , params ={ " page " : page , " per_page " : page_size })         if not response . ok :             break         data = response . json ()         all_data . extend ( data )         page += 1     return all_data # Example usage: api_url = " https://spmeapi.abc.com/invoices " result = fetch_data_from_api ( api_url ) print ( result ) Asynchro
