Performance considerations

From a computation perspective this is the heaviest API endpoint in DDS and that combined with that the data in each users bookshelf have a low update frequencyAs these data for many users do not change very often, this is a strong candidate for client caching. The API provides specific functionality for this, and we highly recommend you to implement caching of the feeds on the client side to improve consumers user experience.

Note: When using the If-Modified-Since header it is recommended that you use a date retrieved from the Last-Modified header of a previous request to the same service. The reason for this is that the service expects that the parsed date retrieved from the If-Modified-Since-header is an exact match (with millisecond precision) to the date used in the Last-Modified header. The service still respect and parses all the date-formats mentioned in http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3.1.
