Limitation
Eagle 1.11 Build21 (Released on 2020/06/17) or the latter version is required to gain access to Eagle API.
The performance of the API server is dependant on the device you are currently running Eagle. There is no limit on the number of calls since all connections were done locally. Almost every add-item API function have a respective version for adding multiple items, we suggest you use the multiple ones if you intend to add lots of files.
