I need to update different products every 30 minutes. So, it sounds like I HAVE to download 100,000 SKUs just to update 10 SKUs.
So, my options are:
* download all 100,000 SKUs every time I need to update a single SKU. I don't think this this'll work.
* download once, but keep the Variant IDs somewhere (cache). If I'm doing this for a lot of clients I'm basically forced to waste resources. Also, if there's a new SKU, I need to redownload all 100,000 SKUs to get new variaton id. But what if I have a new SKU which does not exist in Shopify? I'm forced to download all 100,000 SKUs every time, just in case that SKU does get created in Shopify. This is a very real situation and basically makes this solution not work either.
Is there no way to get Variant ID just for a couple of SKUs? What about Product Search Engine? Can it be used to find Variant ID (documentation on it is rather brief, so it's hard to figure out what it can do, and what it can't).
