Get products within sale

[Kevin Bojarski]

Is there a way to get all of the products within a sale in the same format in which a search returns? So instead of having to make n requests to get all n products in a sale you are able to get all of the information within one json response?

Hi Kevin,

unfortunately not for now.... however the sale/product data that you get through the /sales and /products endpoints is cached so it should be quite fast to fetch everything and keep a local cache yourself :)

what is your use case exactly?

The user selects a sale, and then view all of the products within the sale. Right now if there are 10 items in a sale, I am forced to make 10 separate request (one for each item) instead of just one to get all items in one request.

An alternative strategy could be to call https://api.gilt.com/v1/products to get all the products on sale and cache them (say every 5-10 minutes) then you can just lookup the product data from you cache given the product ID provided by the sale object

Yeah, I am currently caching the results. but having to make n requests/JSON parser calls for n products is causing performance degradation.
