XML feeds with search parameters?

27314

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,

    Is it quicker to download a small view for purely getting their items ids ( 1 or 2 columns) and then target downloading multiple records(1,10,20,100 etc?) individually rather than downloading a view of 500 records with 500 datapoints, or 5k records with 500 datapoints, 1k records with 800 datapoints etc?

    The ability to search using a parameter would fix this immediately but wondering if there is some reliable workaround for the time being and what potentially are the boundaries for when it is useful.
