Is it possible to create multiple items in one API call?

rafdizzle

Is it possible to create multiple items in one create call to the /Item/ endpoint? e.g. a POST call that would look something like this:

[
{description: 'item_1', ...},
{description: 'item_2', ...},
{description: 'item_3', ...}
]

Hi @rafdizzle ,

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately this is not possible with the API. This is only possible with an import, you can find this in the UI of Lightspeed Retail.

I hope this will help.

@LucienVersendaal is it possible to put in a feature request for this? Considering the API is throttled and limits you from making a certain amount of calls per second I think it is only fair to have some of the endpoints allow multi-object payloads - starting with item creation.

I agree with LucienVersendaal this would be great. As we are severly contstrained by the auto trotteling of the API so it can take a long time to call multiple put requests.

Hi, LucienVersendaal

Is there any API available for bulk item create in single call.

Or Is there any possibility in future?
