Implement filters to process only relevant data
Cache frequently accessed data to reduce API calls
Use parallel processing for independent operations
Monitor SearchHive credit usage in your dashboard
Workflow Organization
Use clear naming conventions for modules and scenarios
Document complex workflows with notes and descriptions
Create reusable templates for common SearchHive patterns
Use folders to organize related scenarios
