Snowflake delivers cloud-native data warehousing and analytics for modern enterprises. Explore essential information for building Snowflake API integrations and data pipelines.
Limitations to Snowflake API
- Compute costs can escalate quickly with API usage. Unlike traditional APIs that charge per call, Snowflake bills based on warehouse compute time, making it expensive for frequent small queries or real-time integrations.
- Complex authentication setup across different access methods. Managing OAuth, key pairs, SAML, and SSO configurations requires technical expertise and careful credential management across environments.
- No native GraphQL support limits modern integration patterns. Developers expecting GraphQL endpoints must work exclusively with REST and SQL APIs, potentially complicating data fetching strategies.
- Rate limits vary by account type and usage patterns. Without transparent rate limiting documentation, developers may encounter unexpected throttling during development or production deployments.
