Performance Enhancements to Search APIs
We recently detected a few performance issues that were caused by the inclusion of inessential information in responses to search APIs. In particular, ticket search APIs returned not only the custom fields in a ticket, but also the ones related to the contact in the ticket. Similarly, contact search APIs returned not only the custom fields related to a contact, but also the ones related to the account associated. This inclusion of non-vital information led to performance issues in tools that employed these APIs. Therefore, to solve the performance issues and to ensure that only the most relevant details are returned, we have tweaked the APIs to return only vital information.
Below are some examples of responses that will be returned for these APIs, going forward.
