Overcome API Limitations During Egnyte to SharePoint Transfer

When migrating from Egnyte to SharePoint Online, enterprises can face API throttling issues. Transferring large Egnyte files without a strategic approach can expose them to API throttling, leading to delays or longer migration times. Read this post to learn how to manage API limitations during your Egnyte to SharePoint transfer.

Egnyte API Rate Limits and SharePoint API Rate Limits

Enterprises can transfer data from Egnyte to SharePoint with complete accuracy using a proper migration approach. Egnyte API rate restricts the number of calls per day and per second.

SharePoint temporarily throttles further requests when you exceed usage limits. SharePoint redirects you to the throttling information page when a user makes a request directly from the browser, and the request fails.

• Egnyte API rate limits: 1,000 API calls per day per token
• SharePoint Microsoft Graph API rate limits: 130,000 requests per ten seconds

Handling API Throttling During an Egnyte to SharePoint Migration

Enterprises can mitigate API throttling risks during the Egnyte to SharePoint migration with advanced strategies.

1. Batch Migration

A good approach to overcome API limitations is to migrate your Egnyte data in batches. It involves dividing Egnyte users equally and moving them into batches. With batch transfer, you can keep API usage in check and avoid exceeding the allowed limits in SharePoint. We help you mitigate API issues and challenges through a smooth migration from Egnyte to SharePoint.

2. Retry-After and RateLimit HTTP headers

Microsoft recommends using the Retry-After HTTP header. This helps you face a minimum delay until you remove the throttle. The RateLimit HTTP headers send you early signals when you’re close to limits. You can proactively reduce requests to avoid hitting the throttle.

3. Ensure Sufficient Availability of API Calls

Enterprises have to ensure sufficient availability of API calls (on both Egnyte and SharePoint) for migration. Depending on the number of Egnyte users and the data volume, ensure to have sufficient API calls for a successful transfer.
