max limit?

[janbrus]

In the new PxWebApi version 2, the metadata are presented as json-stat. I tried these two almost identical datasets.
https://data.ssb.no/api/pxwebapi/v2/tables/03014/metadata?lang=en
https://data.ssb.no/api/pxwebapi/v2/tables/03013/metadata?lang=en
The second hangs, without a error message. I guess it is a bit too large. Would it be possible to increase the size limit?

Because the JSON-stat standard is a response format, the JSON-stat Explorer cannot make assumptions about the available queries: it only deals with JSON-stat Dataset responses. Besides, the JSON-stat Explorer is a client-side (JS) tool. As a consequence, the full dataset response must be loaded in memory. There's no explicit max established but depending on the size of the dataset and the available RAM, the tool can become unresponsive.

If support for JSON-stat Metadata responses (=JSON-stat Empty Datasets) was general and the request format standardized, the tool could rely on a combination of data and metadata calls so as not to have to load all the information into memory. For example, that's what Idescat cube view does (see the pencil icon in this example).
