Overview

Definition

Bulk lookup is a feature in our API that allows you to efficiently retrieve multiple records in a single request, reducing the number of API calls and enhancing performance. Instead of making individual requests for each record, you can send a single request to the API with a set of criteria or identifiers, and the API will return the corresponding records in a batch. This is particularly useful when you need to fetch multiple pieces of data or perform actions on a group of records.

Key Benefits of Bulk Lookup

  1. Efficiency: Significantly reduces the overhead of making multiple API requests.

  2. Performance: Enhances response time and reduces server load.

  3. Efficient Data Processing: Enables simultaneous retrieval or processing of multiple records, ideal for scenarios involving a large number of queries.

  4. Simplified Integration: Streamlines the development process by minimizing the complexity of managing multiple API calls.

Usage

  1. Define the criteria or identifiers for the multiple records or queries you want to retrieve.

  2. Construct a single request containing the specified criteria or identifiers.

  3. Receive a consolidated response with the requested data or actions performed.

By implementing bulk lookup, you can optimize your API integration, minimize latency, and streamline data retrieval tasks. This feature is particularly valuable when dealing with large datasets or when you need to process data in bulk.
