Maximum query size

I know silly, but I’ve yet to see this asked.

Is there a maximum query size? (not number of items, etc.) but the actual query string we send, and the associated variables.

Nor do I mean the maximum depth of nesting queries.

Simply the maximum number of bytes in the request.

Hello there @anon29275264,

I will ask around. I have never seen someone reach such a limit.

Yeah I haven’t either. This is just a hypothetical as well. It was something I hadn’t seen documented.

I have to assume if you hit any sort of limit your query is so complex that its going to fail on API complexity anyway.

Hello @anon29275264,

I can see that the size of the query does not seem to be an issue for big queries (testing with 50MB requests without problems).

Our developers are asking what the use case is. What do you need this information for?

It was purely an exercise in curiosity since no limit is documented. I can’t imagine 50MB ever happening. Sorry if it sent anyone on a wild goose chase!

I just kind of expected some limit for DDoS protection reasons at the least.

Hahaha no worries @anon29275264,

I could not find such limit but as you, I believe no reasonable query should reach any!
