+3Hi there,
I’m currently calling https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/{project_id}/customers/{customer_id}/purchases for extracting all purchases and then check for a specific one using store_purchase_identifier.
Is there a way to avoid extracting all purchases from the server every time I need to find a specific store_purchase_identifier?
Thank you,
Yury

Hi Yury,
Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help.
Currently, to find a specific purchase by its store_purchase_identifier, you need to extract all purchases for a customer and then search for the identifier. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to query for a specific store_purchase_identifier without fetching all purchases first.
If you're looking for a more efficient way to handle transactions and updates, you might consider setting up webhooks to receive real-time notifications for purchase events. This way, you can maintain a local database of relevant purchases without querying the entire history each time. You can learn more about webhooks on our docs here: https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/integrations/webhooks
Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions about anything else.
Best,
Hussain

+3Thanks Hussain.
One more question please, any chance I can have the very last purchases on the first page? I can’t see any “sort” parameters available in the API.
+2Hi Yury,
Great question—The REST API currently doesn’t support a sort parameter or a way to retrieve purchases ordered by most recent first. However, I’ve passed your feedback along to our engineering team.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
Best,
Hussain
