I created a new field set called
matrixcache/api/items/bulk?matrixchilditems_fieldset=matrixcache&fields=itemimages_detail,isinstock,matrixchilditems_detail,itemoptions_detail,urlcomponent,commercecategorymatrixchilditemss

If you specify the matrixchilditems_detail field set as a field, for example, in your request then the API is going to retrieve that.

So, something like this, perhaps:
Copy code
/api/items?fieldset=details&matrixchilditems_fieldset=matrixcachew

05/14/2024, 6:43 PMok this worked, but the details fieldset has more fields than I need, so it is still too big to process

05/14/2024, 6:44 PMcan I just get specific fields, but use the matrixchilditems_fieldset with it?

05/15/2024, 9:30 AMWell, I think you would need to create both a new field set and a child matrixchilditems fieldset and then do it that way

05/15/2024, 1:25 PMYeah that's what I ended up doing last night, but it's still too much data for my Map/Reduce script. I'm going to have to re-work the MR script.
