V2 download api response time
Hi,
I was trying the download api to pull a small range of bytes 0-30000. The response time averages around 700ms to 1s.
Is there another api call endpoint that would grab partial content faster? I am using curl with the bearer token.
Thanks!

No, unfortunately there isn't another option for this that would be faster, but I'll pass this along as a request to improve the performance. I can't promise if or when that might be done though.

I'm wondering if its based on where the data is located. I tried out curl from San Diego, CA and also an instance in Iowa. Both seems to be the same speed.
Thanks

There are a number of different variables that will effect the overall performance, such as where the data is located, as well other things like network routes and conditions, etc.
