Item API

The Item API can create, get, update, delete, and list inventory item(s).

All routes except item retrieval require authentication, which is handled by auth. Idempotent routes use the GET method while non-idempotent routes use POST.

Base Item API endpoint:

  • /api/item/ when the response contains zero or one models.Item

  • /api/items/ when the response contains two or more models.Item s

api_item_routes.api_item_get_static(item_id)

GET /api/item/get/<item_id>
Returns:

200 on success with models.Item,

400 if item ID was malformed,

404 if item was not found

api_item_routes.api_item_get_dynamic()

Get a single inventory item by item ID. Route URL is mutable by item ID (dynamic).
