Source FAQs

Hevo imposes no limit on the payload size sent or received by a REST API Source configured with no pagination. However, there may be restrictions imposed by the APIs, the HTTP clients, or the web servers hosting the API endpoints.

Examples:

• A web server such as Apache allows a payload size of 2 GB.

• Google’s Photo APIs allow photos with a maximum file size of 200 MB.

You can connect to a Source not listed in Hevo if it provides a Rest API URL, since Hevo supports the REST API Source. For other Sources, please reach out to Hevo Support over Intercom or schedule a call with Hevo’s solutions team.
