Up until now, single item driven integration scenarios required multiple List API calls followed by substantial effort to assemble the single item entity object from combining the relevant sub-entity information. With Product 360 10.1, a new Service API resource has been added which is capable of returning a single entity item, in a full hierarchical form with all its sub-entities and most importantly: in one single call. The Object API significantly improves the performance in integration scenarios requiring the full data of a single item by leveraging the use of in-memory caches optimized for single item retrieval, as opposed to the return of a large number of items by the List API.
