Hi, 

on a project we have more than 500 attributes per product type and we built an importer using the Import API in Java. 

First time when we do the import it works but if we wanna re-run the import with some update it fails:
 

Invalid input

The update actions count of 533 exceeds the limit of 500.

As we see, there is no “addAttribute” in the import API so we always need to provide all attributes but then we hit the limit on the update action. 

From our view this is very limited and not consistent when it works on initial run and update not. 

Regards, 
Drazen

Hi Drazen,

 

Thanks for posting on our community. 

The API actually has a hard limit on number of update actions supported per single request: https://docs.commercetools.com/api/limits#update-actions-per-request

This does not apply in a creation request. 

Though the scenario you provided sounds like an interesting edge case. 

Would you be able to log a ticket with us in Support at support.commercetools.com (https://commercetools.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/22/group/47/create/249) with an example request you are sending so we can take a closer look into this? 

Thanks and kind regards, 

Jenny
