REST API reference

Complete reference on how to handle Akeneo PIM resources

Products

Product [identifier]

This API provides two endpoints for interacting with products:

  • Product (UUID): We strongly recommend using this endpoint for its reliability and flexibility. UUIDs, or Universally Unique Identifiers, are guaranteed to be unique and never change, even if other product identifiers like SKUs are modified. This ensures consistent product identification regardless of future changes. Additionally, UUIDs allow interaction with products that lack a traditional identifier.
  • Product (Identifier): This endpoint is useful when you already have a product identifier within your systems. This identifier, which could be a SKU or internal code, can be used to directly interact with the corresponding product in our API. This simplifies integration for workflows that rely on existing product identification methods.

Get list of products

This endpoint allows you to get a list of products. Products are paginated and they can be filtered. In the Enterprise Edition, since the 2.0, permissions based on your user groups are applied to the set of products you request.

Available in PIM versions: 1.7 2.x 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS
