Is there a way to get just one store item after using the API in stead of downloading the whole inventory list?

    It would be nice if this could be added. When I update my inventory I would like to be able to check the updated item to make sure it is now correct. Currently this would require downloading most of my inventory just to get the information for that one lot.

    @ Superbrick: I want to use it for exactly the same purpose.

    Are there some more users who think they can benefit of this, when this will be added to BO?

    Well, it wouldn't make a difference for the BrickSync software.

    If updates fail or network errors occur, the software needs to fetch the whole inventory to truly check what's going on (after pushing all pending updates). Besides, you should always pipeline multiple updates as the API server's keep-alive is very low, and a new HTTPS handshake is costly.

    On an unrelated topic, if the API server could have a keep-alive delay longer than 2 seconds, some software wouldn't end up having to fetch the whole inventory so often. Don't ask me why some people run it over a crappy wifi... :)
