Unlimited API Resources per dashboard?

I’m curious if there’s a limit to how many API resources can be created for a single dashboard.

For context, we’ve run into a limitation with one of our dashboards that would require creating many unique API calls – each one responsible for saving a specific field in one of our database tables.

For example, this could potentially mean creating around 120 API resources tied to the same dashboard.

Is there a limit to the number of resources we can add to a single dashboard, or are they effectively unlimited?

Hi @alessyl ,

I’m not aware of a hard limit on the number of API resources you can create for a dashboard — in practice they’re pretty flexible.

That said, creating ~120 API calls just to save individual fields might be a sign there’s an opportunity to simplify the pattern a bit.

A couple approaches that often work well:

  • Send one payload instead of one call per field – pass a JSON object and update multiple fields in one request.
  • Use a workflow or backend endpoint that the dashboard calls once, and that workflow handles the multiple updates or API calls behind the scenes.
  • Use one REST resource with different endpoints rather than creating a separate resource for each call.

So while there isn’t really a strict limit, consolidating the update logic can often make the dashboard simpler and easier to maintain.
