  • 1.  TMF637: product summary operation?

    Hi,

    In our company we need to provide API users with a response that shows how many instances of each product that a customer (party) has. The listProduct operation in TMF637 does not quite fit our needs, because the response as specified only contains an array of fully-specified product objects; there is no property in which to supply aggregate counts.

    Current plans involve extending our implementation of the TMF637 Product Inventory Management API with a non-standard endpoint that provides a map of productOfferingRefs together with integer counts. The response would be structured something like this:
    [
    {
    "productOffering": {
    "id": "MOBILE_10",
    "name": "Mobile 10 GB",
    "href": "https://example.com/api/products/MOBILE_10"
    },
    "count": 62
    },
    {
    "productOffering": {
    "id": "MOBILE_50",
    "name": "Mobile 50 GB",
    "href": "https://example.com/api/products/MOBILE_50"
    },
    "count": 3
    }
    ]

    We would of course prefer using standard TMForum operations and response schemas wherever possible. Are there ways to express this kind of information using only the published TMForum specifications?

    Hi Arnt,

    The TMF630 Part 1 chapter 1.9 provides a custom header that returns the count:

    Content-Type: application/json
    X-Total-Count: 200

    Obviously that means you have to do one call per productOffering, but I don't think there is a currently specified model that comes closer to your need.
