Faster/immediate API calls?

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

Hello,

My app is mostly text/image based and am wondering if there is a way to make faster API calls? Right now I am using Airtable and it is not slow but I’ve had users tell me they wish the app loaded a detail page immediately instead of having to way 1 to 3 seconds?

Thank you all in advance.

Use the tag svg to reduce elements count and just call the dara you need. But its never going to be immediat. In some pages i have more then 100 conections to airtable and it take arround 4sec to load...

we have similar requirements and have put this request on the radar for Bravo. Pretty confident they will have a solution sometime soon. It is imperative to have a solution because user experience will not be great for a production app  -cannot have spinning wheels for 1-3 sec for every api call :)

Hello, have you had a chance to test these API calls with Postman in order to assess the performance of the actual API? It's worth noting that performance isn't always solely a front-end concern; various factors should be considered. Therefore, I recommend checking the call and response time using Postman or other Rest API tools to gain insights.

Regarding Airtable's API, it may not offer high-performance endpoints. While I am unsure about their specific tiers and plans, it's unlikely to match the speed of a dedicated and strategically located server.
