How to update inventory data in batches through the API.

[Thomas_Li]

I hope to be able to modify inventory data in batches by sku, only modifying the inventory without changing other data. Which part of the API documentation can achieve this function? Thank you

Hi @Thomas_Li 

You cannot directly modify it through SKU. You need to first obtain the InventoryItemId based on SKU, and then modify it based on InventoryItemId

1、AdjustQuantities

{
    "input": {
        "name":"available",
        "reason":"correction",
        "changes": [
            {
                "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/51676333768979",
                "delta": 10,
                "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/85112553747"
            }
        ]
    }
}

2、inventorySetQuantities

{
    "input": {
        "name":"available",
        "reason":"correction",
        "ignoreCompareQuantity":true,
        "quantities": [
            {
                "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/51676333768979",
                "quantity": 10,
                "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/85112553747"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Thank you very much for your reply. These two APIs (AdjustQuantities/inventorySetQuantities) can be batch operated, right? Is there any difference in updating inventory? Thank you!

[Kyle_liu]

adjustQuantities: 20(old)+10(adjust)=30(new),

setQuantities: 20(old) => 10(set)  => 10(new)

Unfortunately, they do not support batch operations.

Thank you for your reply. Do these two APIs (AdjustQuantities/inventorySetQuantities) not support batch operations? Is there an API that can batch update inventory operations?
