I'm creating a simple script which recursively travels through my space and edits some content. The script is working completely fine, but when I hit a specific page (which has thousands of children pages,) the REST API can't handle the request. I attempted to add the limit and do some number of children at a time, but it did not make the request any faster.
I have yet to get the request to return anything at all, after letting it churn for minutes with a return limit of 10.
Here is an example call I made to the API:
/rest/api/content/search?cql=parent=5799687&limit=10
If the parent page has a smaller number of children (say 100-500,) this call works fine and I get a response almost instantly.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Thank you!
