Question: Fill in the blank: To manage rate limits, ___ push updates in groups instead of individually.
- data caches
- batch APIs
- webhooks
- active lists
Explanation
Batch APIs manage rate limits by sending multiple updates in a single request rather than individually. This approach reduces the number of API calls, preventing throttling and improving efficiency. Batch APIs allow developers to process large volumes of data simultaneously while maintaining system performance. They are essential for integrations that need to update multiple records quickly and reliably.
Why the other options are incorrect
Data caches store information temporarily but do not control API request grouping.
Webhooks push real-time notifications but do not batch updates.
Active lists segment contacts dynamically and are unrelated to managing API rate limits.
