Hi,

first of all, thank you for the wrapper. Appreciate your work.

I have a question regarding the documentation:

This option should be used with care, as it adds an additional API call for EACH spot in the collection. E.g. a spots collection of 100 spots will use 101 API calls when the detail: true option is set.

Shouldn't that be 200 API calls then? List of 100 spots. EACH spot an extra call for the details, makes 200 calls, right?

Thanks for the question! It's 101 API calls, as we can get a collection of all the non-detailed spot results with just 1 API call, and then to get the extra details, we need to make an additional API call per spot. So (1 * number_of_spots) + 1 for the non-detailed collection.

OK! Got it, thank you!
