All FK and PK are integers?

maizaga

I have 2 questions:

1. I see all foreign keys are integers as strings. I don't find any documentation that confirms that. ¿Is it right?

2. All FK and PK end in "ID" in uppercase always? (customerID, itemID, customerTypeID, etc)

Hello @maizaga,

1. The value type is integer, but you can send it as a string, if we look at the Customer endpoint for example (https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/endpoints/Customer/#customer-fields) the customerID is declare as an integer.
2. Your correct all FK and PK end in "ID" in uppercase.

Thanks for answering @Alex Lugo

Is there any way to get the response data with their real data type and not as strings?

Hi @maizaga,

Let me talk to our Product Management since this means some changes to all the API, I can't promise that this will happen, but I will make sure the correct people hear about this.
