Why the API authorize to create 2 customers with same address mail with API ?

[frelep]

Hi everyone!

 

I have a functional question, via the GUI it's impossible to create two customers with the same email address. Why not ;-) 

Yet it is quite possible via the API, in fact I tried 3 times to send the same request to create a customer and the 3 customers are created. 

Why the API does not return an error saying that the email is already in use? Why this choice by Prestashop?

Without this error, it means proceed in two steps:

- Launch a first query to verify that the email does not exist

- If there is not, start a second query to create the client

Hoping of course that the client is not created between these 2 steps through any other system .....

 

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

 

P.S. : I'm using Prestashop Version 1.5.6.1

Because the api does not error check, if you are using the api you should check for errors. It makes the api more powerful that way.
