Jiwa

I'm integrating with the Jiwa Financial API and noticed there is an endpoint for retrieving a single inventory item.

Is there an API endpoint or query parameter that allows retrieving multiple inventory items in a single request? For example, if I need inventory items with codes `A`, `B`, and `C`, can I request them together instead of making three separate API calls?

If this isn't currently supported, what is the recommended or most efficient approach for retrieving multiple inventory items?

There is an AutoQuery route you can use:

http://localhost/Queries/IN_Main

Then you can use AutoQuery functionality to limit the results thus:

http://localhost/Queries/IN_Main?PartNoIn=8100044,8100052

To go further, you can also choose which columns are returned:

http://localhost/Queries/IN_Main?PartNoIn=8100044,8100052&Fields=InventoryID,PartNo,Description

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for your response. I tried it, and it worked perfectly.

I have another question. Currently, I'm updating inventory items individually. Is there a way to update multiple selected inventory items in a single API request?

I need to update both standard inventory fields and their custom fields for multiple items. Is there a bulk update endpoint or a recommended approach for doing this efficiently?

Thanks in advance!

Short answer is no.

How many items are you needing to update? a few hundred inventory patch requests with only the fields you need to update won't take very long and shouldn't cause any issues.

Longer answer is you can create a custom service method to accept a custom payload which is essentially an array of inventory item patch requests, and that custom service method can then invoke the inventory patch method internally and return a response which is an array of inventory part no's and the response status and message of each.

only a couple of hours of effort to make a plugin to add that custom service method - if you're interested in getting us to do it, create a ticket on our helpdesk to get that process started.
