Asking for a friend: what would you consider a "large" or "too large" API response size?

100 KB? 200 KB? 500 KB? 3 MB?

@zsmb13 I'd say 1 MB is the psychological limit for me, when by "API" you mean the usual JSON payload returned to some website or mobile app.

But API can mean other things, and there isn't really a notion of "too big", even multiple GB or TB can make sense for certain use cases.

@zsmb13 Agree with @BoD . It depends on your definition of API. If network I would go between 300-1024 KB as large. And anything above too large.
