<p>Hello Ola,</p>
<p>I have no idea of what the final purpose is but I kind of
understood from your document you want to achieve automatic input
of biblio data from vendors directly.<br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Biblios_endpoint_RFC" target="_blank">https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Biblios_endpoint_RFC</a><br>
</p>
<p>The route to get biblio data from koha is implemented in 19.11
but the one to push to koha is still missing (can't find out which
bz it is).</p>
<p>I'd be really interested into seeing some community route
implementing order operations through the api.</p>
<p>There is already one existing to interact with Koha vendor data,
if of any help:</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Acquisitions_vendors_endpoint_RFC" target="_blank">https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Acquisitions_vendors_endpoint_RFC</a>
-> implemented<br>
</p>
<p>One of my concern, the one implementing purchase suggestions
operation is also still a big work in progress:
<a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17314" target="_blank">https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17314</a></p>
<p>Maybe nice to file a bug in bugzilla like "Route to create, list,
update, delete an order basket" or something of the like so that
anyone can followup? If you do so, please add me to the CC's :)</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Arthur<br>
