Hello,  
Is it possible to find which Kits a component sku belongs to using the API? I know that a kit sku has a component field, but does this work the other way?

Thanks,

I also would love to know about this.

**What we have now**  
To be specific. If I have a product (sku: ''A"), that has a `kit_component` with a sku of “B”, I can easily find that out by providing the `kit_components` field in my query. Like so:

```auto
query {
  product(sku: "A") {
    data {
      id
      name
      sku
      kit_components {
        id
        sku
        quantity
      }

```

And this query will let me know that “B” is a `kit\_component" of “A”. Great!

**What I want**  
What I **want** is a feature that allows me to determine which products that product “B” is a `kit_component` _of_.

I imagine it would look something like this:

```auto
query {
  product(sku: "B") {
    data {
      id
      name
      sku
      in_kits {
        id
        sku
      }

```

Whereas `in_kits` will tell us the product that has product “B” as a `kit_component`.

**REASON**  
The reason we want this is that we want to be able to delete products via the API, but sometimes the product cannot be deleted because it is part of another products’ `kit_components`. It would be helpful to find out what those other products were so that we could either remove the [deletable] product from their kit, OR delete the other product as well.

NOTE: this might even be useful if there was an error message on delete that told us what those products were. Unfortunately, the error message only tells us that there is an “Unexpected Error” .

Happy to provide more details as needed.
