Is there a limit on the data provided by the datasets API?

I am using the datasets api (https://api.domo.com/v1/datasets/<dataset-id>/data) to access multiple different datasets in my Domo instance using Postman. Everything works fine and Postman shows the response for all my datasets except for two which are both over 1 million rows.

When I try to use the datasets API for these large datasets my postman crashes while receiving the request. I have also have used the pydomo python library to get the data but I also need to use Postman for documentation purposes.

Are there any inherent limits with the datasets API or is this likely a problem with Postman?

    I'm not aware of any limits on that API, but it certainly could have some. More likely, Postman is unable to handle that large of a response, and that is why it crashes.

    I'd suggest trying some other API endpoints, like query in the same API you are using. Or you could use the Product API endpoints of export to S3, query, or datasets.
