# Best Practice | Global 1,000 Limit

## Introduction

To ensure optimal performance, reliability, and alignment with industry best practices, CMiC is introducing a global API request record limit beginning with Patch 22.

- Starting with Patch 22, all API requests will enforce a maximum of 1,000 records per request.
- Requests specifying a limit greater than 1,000 will return an HTTP 400 - Bad Request error.
- This change is scheduled for rollout with patch 22.

## Recommendations

- Retrieve large datasets in smaller, manageable batches using the [limit and offset](https://developers.cmicglobal.com/v1/docs/best-practice-data-filtering-requirements) query parameters.
- Apply specific filters to narrow results using the [finder](https://developers.cmicglobal.com/v1/docs/best-practice-data-filtering-requirements) query parameters.
- Review and update any API calls that currently request more than 1,000 records in a single request to ensure compatibility.
