How can I reduce my API usage in Zendesk?
If you're approaching your API rate limit, there are several strategies you can use to reduce your API usage. Start by optimizing your code to eliminate unnecessary API calls and cache frequently-used data. You can also sideload related data and use bulk and batch endpoints to minimize requests.
