Why is API taking so long?

The larger the database (more data concerning devices, users, etc.), the longer it will take to sort through all the data and return a result. This also correlates to the back-end where calls are processed on a server.

What causes API failure?

API failures happen for multiple reasons, but most of them can be boiled down to these three culprits: Software changes happening too quickly. Breakdowns in communication among teams. Bad data that is incompatible with your API.
