I am consuming data from an API which provides a URL similar to: http://data.something.com/api/records?pageIndex=0&pageSize=25
The API will return XML which I will then use to create nodes. There are many thousands of records, so I will need to do this via batch. I have used batch before but never for drupal_http_request. What would be the best approach for this? Is batch API the best solution, or would another method be preferable?
Thanks
