API already has ability to create or delete crm associations in batches. It seems logical to also have an ability to load associations in batches.

Here is an example: we can get the list of line item objects, but none of them include information about the deal they are attached to. To get this info we need to load a CRM association using the id of the line item… Which means 100 API calls for each page of line items.

Is this possible?

Hi [@Anton\_Litvinenko](https://community.hubspot.com/u/anton_litvinenko),

To clarify, are you seeking a batch version of the [Get associations for CRM object endpoint](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/crm-associations/get-associations) that allows you to define an object type (e.g. line items) and [definition ID](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/crm-associations/crm-associations-overview) and get _all_ associated object IDs?

If so, no such endpoint exists at this time, but I can appreciate the use case. If you have not already done so, I recommend posting a request on the [HubSpot Community Ideas Forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas). I’ll pass this feedback along internally, but if you include a link to the idea below, I’ll be happy to upvote it.
