“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
NetSuite’s native API hits strict governance limits that cause timeout errors when you try to export millions of transaction records in single requests. The platform caps you at 15 simultaneous RESTlet API calls plus 10 additional calls per SuiteCloud Plus license.
Here’s how to handle massive transaction exports without the headaches of custom development or constant timeout failures.
Export large datasets automatically using Coefficient
Coefficient handles NetSuite’s API limitations by automatically managing pagination and rate limiting behind the scenes. When you import transaction records through Coefficient’s Records & Lists method, the system breaks large datasets into manageable chunks and sequences API calls to avoid timeout errors. The 100,000 row limit per query is actually a NetSuite API limitation, but NetSuite can execute multiple queries automatically to handle larger datasets.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up your NetSuite connection in Coefficient.
Navigate to the Coefficient sidebar and select NetSuite as your data source. Complete the OAuth 2.0 authentication process with your NetSuite admin credentials. This one-time setup enables secure API communication through automatically deployed RESTlet scripts.
Step 2. Configure your transaction import with Records & Lists.
Select “Records & Lists” as your import method, then choose “Transaction” from the record types. Use the drag-and-drop interface to select only the fields you need, which reduces payload size and improves performance. Apply date range filters using AND/OR logic to create manageable data segments.
Step 3. Enable automated scheduling for incremental updates.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules to create continuous data pipelines. Configure filtered imports using date ranges to pull transaction data in monthly or quarterly batches that automatically refresh. This eliminates manual intervention and provides reliable, repeatable data extraction.
Step 4. Handle multi-million record datasets with multiple imports.
For datasets exceeding 100,000 rows, create multiple automated imports with different date-based filters. Set up overlapping refresh schedules to ensure comprehensive coverage without gaps. The system manages API call sequencing across multiple imports to prevent governance violations.
Start exporting your transaction data reliably
This approach eliminates the complex error handling and custom RESTlet development required with native NetSuite exports. You get reliable, automated access to millions of transaction records without timeout failures. Try Coefficient to start building your automated NetSuite data pipelines today.
