Acumatica API login limit in developent

Question

I am developing a web application which calls the Acumatica API with an extended endpoint. I have a small license applied which I realize has API limits, but what I am trying to understand is the API login limit. I am the only one using the endpoint but after making several consecutive requests I often hit this API login limit.

Since I am only logging in once, and then making consecutive requests, why would I be getting a login limit exception?

Answer 1

You want to make sure you log out at the end of your process. If you don't subsequent calls will consume an additional user. when you log out it will release the login that you just consumed.

Answer 2

Make sure that when you application finished it execution that it does perform a logout request.

If you do not the next time that you start the application it will not remember the previous session that you opened and will thus use another spot allowed by the license.

If you do this to frequently then you will reach the license limit.

If you were to use the Postman Application you might not encounter this issue as Postman store the session in cookies and remember it throughout all the request that you will be making.
