2. GraphQL To Rest

   
   To ensure optimal performance when expecting more than 5,000 options per search response, we recommend utilizing our GraphQL to Rest feature. To implement this feature, please follow the steps below:
   
   1. Verify that your JSON parser is updated to the latest schema, as Array Fields that were previously defined as single Scalars may result in unexpected JSON marshalling.
   2. Include the following HTTP header in your request(s): TGX-Content-Type: graphqlx/json.
   3. Test a sample call for each request using the provided header.
   4. Sit back and enjoy the enhanced performance!
