simPRO API Forum

Hi

I am trying to create/update 30K stock in SimPro. one thing need to be added is the vendor for the stock. but I got following error. Could you let me know the best way to achieve what I would like to do pls. I can do 60K request but that will pass the rate limit or put lots of stress in your server I assume

Hi Alantod17,
Unfortunately we don't support posting catalog items with the vendor information.

Your best approach would be to first use POST multiple to post all your catalog items, and then update each catalog item with the vendor afterwards using the vendors endpoint.
I am aware that this would require a of requests so see if you can add a delay in your code to stay under the rate limit.

Regards
