Hi,

Looks like the only way to get lenders' loans is using the API - http://build.kiva.org/api#GET*|lenders|:lender_id|loans
Is that correct?

It becomes a bit difficult to collect the loans of hundreds of lenders, especially for big lenders - if a lender had 1000
loans, we'll need to make 50 calls to get his/her loans list.

Is it possible to add a method that can return just the loan IDs of a lender? We don't need loan details in this method,
as they can be obtained from the snapshots.

Other way is to add the loan IDs to the data dumps, in the lender files?

Same for teams the lender belongs to.

Thank you,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,

These are some good points. We definitely see a need for bulk data requests and have been exploring options. We'll take your points in to consideration.

Cheers,
