It is better to make a single request.

To optimize performance there are several things you can do:

  • Make a single request instead of many individual ones.
  • Limit the number of data fields to what you really need.
  • Depending on the data fields you are requesting, make separate requests for different types of data, like asset classes. This is because some data fields are meaningless for specific asset classes, but attempting to retrieve them still uses resources.

In the developer community, under the Documentation tab for the DSS REST API, there is a tuning document that gives you more details to help you optimize your applications.
