API call limit

Hi,

 

Please can you confirm that I understand this correctly. The developer docs state that:

"Your client application can change up to 200 individual objects in a single update() call. If an update request exceeds 200 objects, then the entire operation fails."

and

"Your client application can add up to 200 individual objects in a single create() call. If a create request exceeds 200 objects, then the entire operation fails."

 

Does this mean that 1 single update of 200 objects counts as 1 API call? So, for example, if my limit is 5,000 API calls and I haven't used any today, and I update 200 objects in one go, then my API limit is now 4,999 for today?

 

Many thanks :)

As I understand things an API call is any call made to methods that are part of the WSDL generated proxies that you would "consume" in your own apps.

 

I guess this means that a login call is also an API call ...

 

So technically if you make the following calls ...

 

Login

Upsert

Logout

 

... is that not 3 calls?

 

 

And with query you have query more so returning a large dataset could mean using a lot of calls ...

 

 

or not ???

That's correct (although as Paul points out, Login will consume another one of those calls)
