Best practices when sending multiple requests

[AlFontal]

As it stands now, I usually make several requests to split in chunks the datasets I fetch through the API for less memory-intensive processing.

However, there is no way to send a list of requests (I am just using for loops to do so now) and my requests usually take ~20 min in queue and 1-2 min downloading, which makes fetching the datasets a quite time-consuming process.

Is there any way to speed this up?

Hi @AlFontal ,
This is the recommended way to use the cdsapi. A believe that since upgrading various pieces of software and infrastructure in the CDS our queues are significantly reduced since you originally posted your issue.

Also, I recommend the C3S user support channel for quicker responses to queries regarding requests and best practices:

All the best,
