Is there a way to raise the limit for adding members to a list via API?


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

Hi,

I’d like to use the API to generate a list with fresh data from our backend (once a day or once a week) but I just noticed that the add members API has a limit of 100 items per POST. (https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/add-members)

Is there any way to get a higher limit, or is there an API endpoint to upload a CSV the same way you can from the dashboard? I would really like to avoid having to use the dashboard manually so we can keep our list as fresh as possible.

thanks, taylor

Hi @taylorcluster,

 

Welcome to the Community! Happy to share some insight here! 

 

Yes, you’re correct here. At this time, there isn’t workaround for this 100 rate limit. If you’re not expecting more than 100 profiles to sign up to your list a day, I might suggest making the API call once a day rather than once a week to try to keep this process automated for you! I understand that you would want to avoid the manual work if possible! However, I would be happy to submit a feature request on your behalf to our Product Team for improved rate limit abilities!

Thanks! Yeah we are creating a list based on some advanced logic server side, so we just need to bulk upload the results of this job daily or weekly. It’ll be creating lists of 200K people or so. So the 100/req is a deal breaker. Since you can do this by uploading a CSV anyway it seems like there should just be an endpoint to upload a CSV the same way, or expand the endpoint to accept 10K+ rows.
