Feature request: Bulk setting/unsetting of user properties about klaviyo-api-python HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Hagen,

Thanks for reaching out, these are great suggestions!

I sent this over to our product team to add this to our roadmap, though no firm timeline yet (I’ll keep you posted as I get updates).

Regarding your first point around bulk endpoints: until we support this functionality, I recommend trying out python's native pooling functionality to speed up requests (if you haven’t already).

More details here, but in short:

API requests to update_profile take 0.5 seconds round trip time. That means that if you send requests in series, you will only be able to achieve an effective rate of 120/minute. However, our rate limit for that endpoint is actually 700/minute steady. Because of this, if you parallelize your requests, you should be able to increase the request rate by a factor of ~6.

Hopefully this helps in the interim while we work on supporting the features you raised. And thanks again for the thoughtful input, we super appreciate it.

Cheers!

Hi @jon-batscha 👋,

Thank you for your elaborate response and the feedback 👍 We actually tried using pooling via async_req=True with the library and on our own, but our measurements did not really show a significant uplift in request speed. We were never even close to hitting the 700rpm. In the end we decided that the uplift in speed did not really justify the overhead of handling the async part (i.e. waiting and checking if pool workers finished correctly).

We actually switched back this part to the legacy API and keep the fingers crossed that this is supported until the sunset of the API 🤞

Thank you,

hi there 😄
we are also using the profile update api, and the current rate limit is really low (up to 700/minute) AND high resource consumer ( api call per profile update)...it takes a lot of time if you need to update a large list\segment of users with some custom tag.
We also would be happy if we can make a bulk profiles update

Hey,

Just wanted to let you all know that we now support append, unappend, and unset for update_profile: https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/docs/changelog_#improved-endpoints

We haven't yet implemented bulk setting of user properties, but will keep you posted once that's available.

Cheers,
