[v1.0.3] Catalog import | receive prices for quantities also | import workflow

Hello,

first of all thx for the great Flyeralarm resellerAPi.
We are a partner of you and we currently try to implement your catalog in our system.
We where facing some problems and i want to clarify some things with this issue.

Our workflow in short:

Import

1. We import all of your groups (orderable_via_api=true) with a daily Cron.
   --> (We want to import as much as possible but since each group needs another API call, we dont import attributes in the Cron)
2. Now your groups are available in our Backend and we are able to setup/relate articles with them.

Create Article:

1. The user choose a group in the dropdown
   --> We call your API for attributes
2. User setup some attributes
   --> With each change we call your API for possible Attributes
3. If group is fully configured we import the quantities with prices
   --> this is where it becomes strange with a messy call workflow

Expected behavior

We need a possibility to get the data like your company provide with this calculator:
http://printcalculation.com/default

Example configuration:

1. Set dropdown product to value 3-in-1-Ladekabel als Schlüsselanhänger
2. Set the other attribute dropdown's to whatever you want.
3. Hit the Pricing button.

You see the expected result of:

Quantity	QuantityID	Standard( 15 - 17 work days)	Express	Overnight
100	12310640	351.26 EUR
150	12310641	521.55 EUR
200	12310642	685.52 EUR
...	...	...
...	...	...
...	...	...

Actual behavior

Within the example repository in the file public/find_product.php you provide a way to find a QuantityId.
The workflow in this example is as follows:

1 - Get all Groups by

$faApi->getProductGroupIds()

2 - Set a group from above collection.

3 - Get Group Attribute and set some

$attributeList = $faApi->getProductAttributesByProductGroup($product_group);
// Set 4184|Ausführung -> 21019|DIN-Format
$attributeList->getById(4184)->setSelection(
    $attributeList->getById(4184)->getPossibleValues()->getById(21019)
);

4 - Get possible Quantities

// Now we ask for the possible options for quantities and shipping (standard,express,overnight)
$quantities = $faApi->getAvailableQuantitiesByAttributes($product_group, $attributeList);

Result:

flyeralarm\ResellerApi\productCatalog\ProductQuantityOptionList {
  ["elements"]=>
  array(6) {
    [0]=>
    flyeralarm\ResellerApi\productCatalog\ProductQuantityOption {
      ["quantity"]=> 100
      ["shipping_options"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["standard"]=>
        flyeralarm\ResellerApi\productCatalog\ProductQuantityShippingOption {
          ["type"]=>"standard"
          ["quantityId"]=> 7826336
          ["deadline"]=> 12
          ["from"]=> 8
          ["to"]=> 9
        }
      }
    }
    ...

Questions

• At this point we got all needed Information except the prices for the quantities! Is there another way to achieve this?
• is there a comfortable way to import the catalog without hundreds of API calls?
  --> we nee the groups with attributes and the quantities.
