XML feeds with search parameters?

David Corrin

Hi all,

XML feeds are very useful, however it is not very efficient to download the entire iSheet to find the one(or more) records that I want to display on screen.

Has anyone found a workaround to leverage search parameters in the xmls feeds,? (similar to how advanced searches work)

Thanks,

Parents

  • Hey Andrew Quinn, agree that could be very cool and open up an entire world of possibilities! Based on the fact though that these xml feeds haven't improved in a long time (ever?), I don't think there is necessarily a push to spend effort in improving these a lot let alone create a brand new internal offering right now(Happy to be wrong though). With HighQ improving visualisations and their own internal pipes it would be good if we were allowed to leverage these as well (and even align the data feeds to be the same if not similar as how the API feeds it back). I agree that there are better and more powerful ways of doing things but I am just looking for a decent win now that doesn't deviate too much from their current offering and as such shouldn't be a massive effort for them to implement. I would hope ExportXml v2 would address a lot of those limitations. I would excited if they implemented something like you suggested as it would open it up massively but I would like to be able to do some additional things in the meantime while waiting for that.
