How can I retrieve blockchain data via MultiChain JSON-RPC API and efficiently handle large datasets?

Question

I am trying to access blockchain data using MultiChain’s JSON‑RPC API for development purposes. I want to retrieve blocks, transactions, and associated metadata programmatically and handle large datasets efficiently. Any guidance on best practices, pagination, or API limitations would be helpful. Example use cases include exporting transaction histories and monitoring blockchain activity in real-time.

This is a very broad question, so it's hard to know where to start. Perhaps you can begin with the materials on the website, including this page on performance optimization:
