Download of inventory via API is incomplete

rmfloris

Using the API and download myStore inventory via the call "inventory/list", doesn't return the full inventory. Approach 8% of the lots listed on the website are not being returned. Trying a specific lotId which is missing as addition to the call results in an empty result.

Any idea what is causing this error? But more important, how to resolve it?

Could you confirm what numbers you are comparing to determine the inventory/list call is incomplete? You may also want to set the active_only parameter

I'm running the following link:
https://api.brickowl.com/v1/inventory/list?key=<secretKey>&lot_id=<lotId>; which doesn't give a response. Without the lotId I do get results.
It looks like the active_only parameter seems to be working. Thanks for the support.

a related question. I'm trying to get a BOID for the following legoId: 30258pb001. This is via the '/id_lookup' option. Filtering on 'design_id' results in an empty result, while removing this parameter it does show a BOID.
If I leave the id_type out, other lookups will yield to many results.

I tried to retrieve the id_type for this value via 'catalog/lookup' but get a response that I don't have access to this specific API.

Any suggestions on how to retrieve the BOID and understanding the id_type to be use?
P.s. I have used all 3 options from API page: item_no, design_id or set_number, none of them provide a result. Leaving it blank will provide a result.

That looks like a bricklink ID, you can use an id_type of bl_item_no

Thanks. The bl_item_no did work. Is it an idea to have the possible options added to the API page? Often I miss the various options to choose from and/or the expected reponse of an API.
