Table API Best Practices

Jordan Tallet2

Hi all, 

Are there any best practices regarding volume of table APIs? We are hitting the table APIs millions of times per day, mostly for GET requests. We're not sure if that is standard or if at that volume we should look at other methods?

I will recommend not to use OOTB Table API as it gives complete access to all the fields on your table

The table might contain sensitive data.

As per customer requirement you can create Scripted REST API where you have complete control on what API response to give.
