payload_size_error
Request payload size exceeds the allowable limit. Please reduce the size of the payload and try again.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 Bad Request
error with the message "Request payload size exceeds the limit: 20971520 bytes" in the Google API is occurring because the size of the data being sent in the HTTP request is exceeding the allowed limit. Specifically, the request payload is larger than the 20 MB (20971520 bytes) limit that is imposed on HTTP requests in certain Google APIs, such as those used for streaming data into BigQuery or other services with similar constraints. This limit is a hard constraint to prevent overly large requests that could overload the server.
Solution
To fix the 400 Bad Request
error due to the "Request payload size exceeds the limit" issue in the Google API, you need to ensure that the data being sent does not exceed the specified limit. Here are the steps to resolve this:
Solution
Restructure your requests to comply with the payload size limits.
Key Steps
Split Data into Smaller Requests: Break down the data into smaller chunks and send them in multiple requests.
Adjust Request Frequency: Send requests with fewer rows more often.
Use Appropriate Tools: Utilize tools like
bq load
for single long rows or split multiple rows into separate requests.Chunk Large Files: If uploading files, chunk them into smaller pieces before sending the requests.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your requests comply with the payload size limits and avoid the 400 Bad Request
error.
