Removing API Limits for Enhanced Data Access
Sometimes, simplifying constraints can unlock powerful new capabilities. We recently removed a 90-day API limit validation in the devlog-ist/landing project, enhancing its data synchronization features.
The Problem: Arbitrary Limitations
Previously, the GitHub sync dashboard action was restricted by a 90-day window due to limitations in the Events API. This prevented comprehensive data retrieval for longer periods, hindering complete historical analysis.
The Solution: Multi-Strategy Sync
The multi-strategy commit synchronization now supports date ranges beyond the initial 90-day constraint. By removing this validation, users can access and analyze data across a broader timeline. This allows for more complete commit history analysis and reporting.
The Impact
Removing the arbitrary time restriction provides users with greater flexibility and access to historical data. Check the full article to learn more about the implementation details and benefits.
