Hello,
A quick question about the API. What are your recommendations for polling data from the API?
I would like to know how many times and how quickly I can request data from the PRTG API before it starts impacting performance. Also important to know is what the maximum number of sessions we can realistically have (for example 20 devices pulling info at the same time every minute at).

Hello,
We have not implemented any API limitations in our code. The only limiting factor is the performance of your PRTG server (which is affected by the specific API function, the amount of data that you request and complexity of requested data).
Please keep in mind that overloading the core server by putting heavily multithreaded pressure (60 simultaneous complex API requests!) on the web server can significantly affect your monitoring results
Thanks
