The item information API call is made internally by SCSB as part of the request API call. In case of recalls, SCSB needs to verify that the item is in a recallable state (Item is checked out by the previous requester). The item information API retrieves information on the circulation status from the ILS along with other information which is used to ascertain the eligibility as to whether the recall request is allowed.
