Some API call to fetch inventory timestamps?
When maintaining an off-line BrickOwl database, we clearly need to keep all set/gear/minifig/minibuild inventories up-to-date.
It's very demanding to perform over 20000 /catalog/inventory API calls, just in case the inventories may have changed since they last have been fetched.
Could we have some new API end-point able to list the "last modified timestamp" of all set/gear/minifig/minibuild inventories? We could then compare each timestamp with the last time we fetched that inventory, and only update when necessary.
This missing API end-point is actually why I'm not maintaining up-to-date BrickOwl inventories on disk, which would allow me to perform aggressive database cross-referencing for BLID matching, minifig mix-ups, and more.
Thanks.
