So, I’ve been attempting to build a better dashboard so that I can view multiple stats and progress across multiple projects, however the API complexity limits and overall usability have just stopped me in my tracks. I can’t even do this query without it being 2.5x the complexity limit:


  const query = `

    query fetchBoards($boardIds: dID!]!) {

      complexity {

        before

        query

        after

        reset_in_x_seconds

      }

      boards(ids: $boardIds) {

        id

        name

        groups {

          id

          title

          items_page(limit: 100) {

            items {

              column_values(ids: d"status"]) {

                text

              }

            }

          }

        }

      }

    }

  `;

Either I’m missing something or is the API just completely unusable?

Hey @kevin.robertson,

Complexity limits increase exponentially if queries are nested. The reason why your complexity is so high is because you’ve nested the items_page query within the groups query.


If you remove the nesting and send something like this, it should reduce the complexity.


const query = `

    query fetchBoards($boardIds: :ID!]!) {

      complexity {

        before

        query

        after

        reset_in_x_seconds

      }

      boards(ids: $boardIds) {

        id

        name

        groups {

          id

          title

        }

   items_page(limit: 100) {

            items {

              column_values(ids: :"status"]) {

                text

              }

            }

          }

      }

    }

  `;

Let me know if that works for you.


Cheers,

Bill
