I'm trying to use SharePoint rest API to get items from a SPO list. It has around 15K items. But I'm using filters and expecting less than 30 items in the result. It works fine when normal columns are used for filtering. But when I use people picker column, it throws the below error:
<m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
<m:code>-2147024860, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQueryThrottledException</m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-US">The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold.</m:message>
</m:error>
Below is the query I used:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=ID,Employee/EMail,Employee/Title,Employee/JobTitle,Employee/Department&$expand=Employee/Id&$filter=(Employee/email address removed for privacy reasons%27)
Could anyone help me fix this issue?
