@samara

I have tried the code with more instrument added and received a Bad Request error. Once I use the same request message in Postman, the response's body contains the following error. This should be the limitation of the identifier length. You may need to separate the Search request if the length exceed 50 characters.

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Validation Error:\r\n\r\nIdentifier can not exceed 50 characters"
    }
}
