The article examines the Screener.in stock screener API and highlights inefficient practices in the search functionality.The search sends a new API call to the server for each keystroke made by the user.This inefficient use of network resources leads to server and network overload.To fix this issue, the article suggests debouncing, throttling, and client-side caching techniques.Debouncing involves delaying API calls until the user has paused typing, using a timer with a delay period.Throttling involves limiting the number of API calls over a specific time period and reducing server load.Client-side caching stores results from previous searches directly in the user's browser and reduces network activity.The article also recommends sending one big message with all the search information instead of lots of little ones.Optimizing search functionalities is vital for building efficient applications.The synergy of debouncing, throttling, client-side caching, and batch requests can dramatically improve search systemโs performance.
