They could not even forward it themselves and then let me know that I needed
to report issues there!
Ugh! I guess I am going to start calling them the less than helpful desk again.

Hello Sergio,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
We had a few users make us aware of this mistake and appreciate you letting us
know as well. We have passed the information on to our API team, and they are
currently working on getting this fixed.
Thank you again for making us aware of this, have a wonderful day.
Just got this reply to the same issue that I too opened a ticked, seems our concerns
got in.

It is free, but why not send $25 to help support BrickStore?
Especially, if you are using it in a commercial setting.

You can do it!
Go to brickStore's github, issues or discussion, post and discuss the
changes you'd like to be freely implemented.
Apart this, AFAIK, kind of, Rebrickable and BrickLink My Collection recent feature.

Hmm, it’s strange: for the 25-30 years I have heard and used this phrase, it
was always understood that it meant “they took the biggest player, the CYBottom
solution, without evaluation.” IOW, that “but they should” was implied. The
time the slogan was to be taken at face value ended up in the 1980s. So, it’s
strange to me that there’s still people using it as the slogan.
It may be cultural. Maybe we are all cynics in my circles

The problem is, Sergio, the servers load/bandwidth: it's not infinite.
If some 'sharp' users (5%) take down BrickLink then 'regular'
users (95%) will suffer of this, and it's not acceptable.

This should not be an issue for the largest toy company in the world, companies
load balance all the time. But heck, TLG can't even figure out how to handle
the May the 4th traffic with cloud based load balancers/servers.
So, sigh, I have to agree with you. Buy I also agree with Sergio, it would be
nice if we got a more comprehensive API which, if implemented properly, could
alleviate the load on the servers.
But, I am not impressed with Lego's information technology prowess.

think of the API service as a different company, like XE.com which currently
provides exchange rate services. You wouldn't go to BrickLink customer service
to report a problem with XE.com

| LOL!! Awe man, I'm sorry, but this is something I know all too well. When
I decided to sell my old parts from the 80's the first thing I had to do
was pick out all the pieces (nearly 35% of them) that were gnawed on by our three
schnauzers.
All the other toys in the house that were also made out of quasi malleable plastic,
they went for the LEGO.
Except for one GI Joe that eventually looked like he got lit up by a mini gun.

| | | | | Thank you Russell. I did forward it to them, however why could the help desk
agent not forward it and let me know in the future I need to send corrections
to the API documentation there?
|
Because the API channel is completely separate from the Help Desk.
|
Sorry Russell, but this time I strongly disagree with you 
From a member POV, BrickLink's API are used on the BrickLink website provided
by BrickLink.
Nobody as a member should have to care about who's doing the Taxes questions,
the Development, the Resource Management and cleaning the BrickLink office floors
(thank you!).
But if there's a question regarding whatever subject, then BrickLink should
gracefully transfer the question, and/or make the proper people to be in contact,
and/or (better!) provide a ticket system with a specific topic for Taxes, Developement,
API, etc.

| I've been a Lego addict for about the last 20 years of my adult life. It
seemed like now was a good time to get my first ever puppy. What could possibly
go wrong I thought. In the last week I have learned that not all of my Lego
are as secure as I thought. Expecting a response from my puppy I have said countless
times "what are you chewing on".

| My father has Farmers and his went up 59% (so he cancelled all his policies with
them and went to Allstate). I have State Farm and mine only increased 4% which
is about normal. Last year it actually went down by 2%, that rarely happens!
