Factors for GET Entities API Latency

Scenario: Find and extract a set of entities based on the filtering condition (GET /entities)

Baseline latency: 47 milliseconds

Table 1. API Latency Details
Factor Baseline parameter value One step increase from baseline Average latency increase by 1 factor step, % from baseline Average latency increase by 1 factor step in milliseconds Max analyzed value
Conditions in filter expressions 10 every 10 additional conditions 1% 0.5 40
Average size of the entity in result 10 KB every 10 additional KB 2% 1 50 KB
Nested attributes per entity 10 every 10 additional attributes 12% 6 20
Simple attributes per entity 100 every 100 additional attributes 27.6% 13 300
Count of results in response 5 every five additional results 38.3% 18 25
Crosswalks per entity 10 every five additional crosswalks 38.3% 18 15
RDM lookups per entity 5 every five additional lookups 42.5% 20 25
Reference attributes per entity 0 each additional attribute 85% 40 5
Two other factors to consider for GET /entities API latency include:
  • If you enable the score flag in the API query, you add up to 115 ms to the latency on average.
  • If you enable ordering in the API request, you add up to 9 ms to the latency on average.
