Abstract:

REST requests are utilized by developers across many fields to access public data that they would not normally have access to. Typically, efficiency is not a concern when making a REST request to a server since only a handful are performed at once. With the increasing popularity of gaming, more and more web services have emerged that aim to present the data taken from these APIs. API Keys and other methods of authorization used are associated with an account that has a maximum number of requests that are allowed per a specific unit of time. The problem is that these databases are relational and result in multiple REST requests to traverse the hierarchical structure and retrieve the needed information, leading to a long runtime before the application is loaded. As a result, many of these web services have downtime at specific intervals, such as the release of a new patch, so that all necessary information can be retrieved, stored on a local server, and then presented to users. This paper presents a solution to increase the efficiency of retrieving data from a REST API such that a web service that presents this information may minimize its downtime.
