Suddenly Slowness with Python SDK
Hi,
We’ve been using the Python SDK to run a nightly job that gives us a list of all the files (and some metadata) in our account.
That job historically took about 30 minutes to complete, recursively going through all the directories, etc. As of a few days ago (11/5), though, it suddenly doubled in length, even though the number of files/folders in our account hadn’t changed.
So two questions:
Has anyone else noticed anything similar over the last few days?
Is there a better/different way to get to that data?
Our current function looks something like this:
def get_recursive_files(settings, client, folder_id, path_prefix=None):
file_list = []
folder = client.folder(folder_id).get()
for item in folder.get_items():
if item.type == 'folder':
file_list += get_recursive_files(settings, client, item.id, path_prefix)
else:
file = item.get(fields=['id', 'name', 'created_by', 'created_at', 'modified_by', 'modified_at', 'path_collection', 'ver
