Retrieve the information that you need and make your integration more efficient.
* **[Use filters to limit the number of results](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8KjwGIecbj7CkTdQNZqWfQ)**   
  One way to make your web service calls fit within the 250 record limit is to think about the design of your integrating application.
* **[Use a local data store to pull data from](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dCH1hxIBYCyfjqn~qBHzaw)**   
  If a large amount of data needs to be queried often, and the data does not need to be real-time, perform a sync of the ServiceNow table that you're interested in with your integrating application's data store.
* **[Use Java/C#/PHP code to fetch the XML data using basic authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/3hBtuHz5jNMoI2ypqhdg7g)**   
  If a local data store is not an option, another way to get the data is to call the CSV/XML processor directly and then parse the results.
