Deep Insertion

Think of deep insertion as a one-stop shop for creating complex data. Instead of making multiple API calls to build out different parts of your data, you can send all the necessary information in a single request.

How it Works#

Main Object: The core piece of data you want to create.
Related Objects: Additional data connected to the main object.
Single API Call: You send the main object and its related objects in one request.

Example: Creating a Board with Collections, Statuses, and Labels#

Imagine a project management tool where you want to create a new board with pre-defined collections, statuses, and labels.
Structure:
Board: The main object with properties like name, description, etc.
Collection: Related object with properties like name, description.
Status: Related object with properties like name, color.
Label: Related object with properties like name, color.
API Request:
{
  "name": "My Board",
  "description": "A board with everything",
  "collections": [
    { "name": "To Do", "description": "Tasks to be done" },
    { "name": "In Progress", "description": "Tasks in progress" },
    { "name": "Done", "description": "Completed tasks" }
  ],
  "statuses": [
    { "name": "Open", "color": "green" },
    { "name": "In Review", "color": "yellow" },
    { "name": "Closed", "color": "red" }
  ],
  "labels": [
    { "name": "Bug", "color": "purple" },
    { "name": "Feature", "color": "blue" }
  ]
}
By understanding deep insertion, you can create more complex data structures and improve the efficiency of your API interactions.
