Non-latest inventory state on GetUserInventoryRequest

Hey, we've got a CloudScript that fetches user inventory, then calls RevokeInventoryItem function for one or more items, and after that fetches user inventory again. Now our problem is, that rarely (maybe 1% of cloudscript executions) both GetUserInventory calls returns a json with the same items - even though we just revoked some of it. We know that using 2 GetInventoryItems calls in a single cloudscript isn't the most efficient, and we're probably going to refactor this, but the problem still remains - and we'd love some explanation

Hi @wojtekkluczniak,

The problem here is that the Server API calls are synchronous in Cloud Script, but we can not guarantee that revoking items actually take effect before consuming the second GetUserInventory API, we may need to wait a second before calling it.

Hey @Citrus Yan, actually, doesn't the word "synchronous" mean that the script waits for a previous API call response before continuing its execution?

Hi @wojtekkluczniak,

Yes, the server API calls are synchronous, however, it takes time for the updates to actually take effect in the backend database. You may need to use polling to get the latest data, hence it's recommended to call GetUserInventory in the ExecuteCloudScript callback from the client.

@Citrus Yan
So howcome you're able to send back a proper response without accessing the database?
