Page Size
This parameter defines the page size during the API request (number of records).
Technical Name |
page_size |
Category |
Technical |
Type |
Integer |
Default Value |
100 |
Example Values |
100 |
It is recommended to change this value only if there are connection issues or rate limitation. Otherwise changing this parameter should not be necessary. The larger the page size, the longer a request will take. On the other hand, a high page size will decrease the total number necessary requests.
|
Be aware: Most APIs will limit the maximum page size! |
Connection Timeout (in ms)
This parameter specifies the time after which a running request will be aborted. If set to null, the default timeout of the system will be used.
Technical Name |

Technical |
Type |
Integer null |
Default Value |
null |
Example Values |
null 10000 |
Initial Delay (in ms)
This parameter represents the initial time (in milliseconds) to wait before a failed request will be reattempted.
Technical Name |
initial_delay |
Category |
Technical |
Type |
Integer |
Default Value |
1000 |
Example Values |
1000 |
When a request fails, the delay starts with the time defined in this parameter and will then exponentially increase with every failed attempt.
Maximum Delay (in ms)
This parameter represents the maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait before an HTTP request that has been failed will be reattempted. If set to null, the delay will not be restricted.
Technical Name |
max_delay |
Category |
Technical |
Type |
Integer null |
Default Value |
3600000 |
Example Values |
3600000 |
When a request fails, the delay increases with every failed attempt up to the duration defined in this parameter or until the request was successful.
Maximum Number of Attempts
This parameter represents the maximum number of attempts after which an HTTP request will fail permanently.
Technical Name |
max_attempts |
Category |
Technical |
Type |
Integer |
Default Value |
5 |
Example Values |
5 |
Failed requests will be resend by the connector before failing the whole connector run. When experiencing a lot of connectivity issues which are not related to server overload or some kind of rate limitation, it is recommended to increase this parameter as well as the Timeout and the Maximum Delay parameter.
