Would pulling thousands of records at a time be a problem for the atom feed?
Pulling 10K records per search in the limit for Atom Feed would not be feasible. 1 atom feed thread is limited to pull only 10 records per search, however, you can run 10 threads per search, so technically you would be able to pull 100 records per search
What time of day is good to schedule atom feed downloads?
Any time after 9:00 AM eastern time.
Do I need an FPDS account to use atom feed?
The atom feed is for public use so no account is required. If you are a DOD user please go to www.fsd.gov or call (866) 606-8220.
