The REST API basics

#Filters

When requesting a list of resources via the REST API, you can apply filters to get only the ones you want.

#Filter on product properties

To filter products by one of its properties, you can use the search query parameter. The value given to this query parameter should be a valid JSON as shown below.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?search={PRODUCT_PROPERTY:[{"operator":OPERATOR,"value":VALUE}]}
    

In the above url :

  • PRODUCT_PROPERTY can be any property detailed in the sections below,
  • OPERATOR is an allowed operator for this PRODUCT_PROPERTY,
  • VALUE is a value whose type corresponds to the allowed type detailed below.

#Examples

To only retrieve enabled products, you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?search={"enabled":[{"operator":"=","value":true}]}
    

Of course, you can combine as many filters as you want. The example below will get you the enabled products being 70% complete.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?search={"enabled":[{"operator":"=","value":true}],"completeness":[{"operator":">","value":70,"scope":"ecommerce"}]}
    

You can even combine several filters on the same product properties. The example below will get you the products categorized on the Winter Collection category and that are not categorized on the Accessories category.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?search={"categories":[{"operator":"IN","value":["winter_collection"]},{"operator":"NOT IN","value":["accessories"]}]}

          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "ecommerce"
        },
        {
          "data": "Top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "tablet"
        },
        {
          "data": "Débardeur pour l'été",
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "scope": "ecommerce"
        },
        {
          "data": "Débardeur",
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "scope": "tablet"
        }
      ]
    }
    

To get only product values regarding the en_US locale (+ the product values of the non localizable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?locales=en_US
    

As a result you will receive the following answer:

{
      "color": [
        {
          "data": "carmine_red",
          "locale": null,
          "scope": null
        }
      ],
      "name": [
        {
          "data": "Top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": null
        }
      ],
      "description": [
        {
          "data": "Summer top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "ecommerce"
        },
        {
          "data": "Top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "tablet"
        }
      ]
    }
    

As you can see, for the simple select attribute named color, as the attribute is not localizable (the locale field is set to null), the product value of this attribute is not filtered and you still get the code of the attribute option, carmine_red. If you want to get the localized label of this attribute option, you will have to request the attribute option endpoint.

#Example 2

You can also filter product values on several locales at the same time.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?locales=en_US,fr_FR
    

#Via channel

Available in the PIM versions: 1.7 2.x 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: CE EE

There is also a scope query parameter that will allow you to:

  • get only the selection of products that are in the tree linked to the channel you specified,
  • get only the product values for this specific channel, as well as the product values of the non scopable attributes.

#Example

To get products from the tree linked to the ecommerce channel with only product values regarding the ecommerce channel (+ the product values of the non scopable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/products-uuid?scope=ecommerce
    

Note that you cannot use this filter on several channels.

When using this query parameter, you will never be able to retrieve products that are not categorized. This is due to the fact that we only return the selection of products that are in the tree linked to the given channel. In other words, if a given product is not categorized in this tree, you won't receive it.

#Filter on published product properties

To filter published products by one of their properties, you can use the search query parameter. The value given to this query parameter should be a valid JSON as shown below.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?search={PUBLISHED_PRODUCT_PROPERTY:[{"operator":OPERATOR,"value":VALUE}]}
    

In the above url :

  • PUBLISHED_PRODUCT_PROPERTY can be any property detailed in the sections below,
  • OPERATOR is an allowed operator for this PUBLISHED_PRODUCT_PROPERTY,
  • VALUE is a value whose type corresponds to the allowed type detailed below.

#Examples

To only retrieve enabled published products, you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?search={"enabled":[{"operator":"=","value":true}]}
    

Of course, you can combine as many filters as you want. The example below will get you the enabled published products being 70% complete.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?search={"enabled":[{"operator":"=","value":true}],"completeness":[{"operator":">","value":70,"scope":"ecommerce"}]}
    

You can even combine several filters on the same published product properties. The example below will get you the published products created both the 4th and the 5th of July 2016.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?search={"created":[{"operator":"=","value":"2016-07-04 10:00:00"},{"operator":"=","value":"2016-07-05 10:00:00"}]}

To filter published products on their completeness, use the completeness published product property. You will also need to provide a scope value to specify on which channel you want to filter with the completeness. Here are the allowed operators you can use to filter by completeness as well as the corresponding type of value expected in the search query parameter.

Operator Allowed value type Filter description

#Filter published product values

Thanks to the above sections, you are able to filter your published products to only get those you want. In this section, you will see that you also can filter the published product values to only receive those you want.

#Via attributes

Available in the PIM versions: 1.7 2.x 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: CE EE

If you want to receive for each published product only published product values about specific attributes, you can specify it thanks to the attributes query parameter.

#Example

To get published products with only published product values regarding the description attribute, you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?attributes=description
    

You can filter published product values on several attributes at the same time.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?attributes=name,description
    

#Via locale

Available in the PIM versions: 1.7 2.x 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: CE EE

If you want to receive for each product only product values on specific locales, as well as the product values of the non localizable attributes, you can specify it thanks to the locales query parameter.

#Example 1

Imagine that without this filter you get these product values:

{
      "color": [
        {
          "data": "carmine_red",
          "locale": null,

          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "scope": "tablet"
        }
      ]
    }
    

To get only product values regarding the en_US locale (+ the product values of the non localizable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?locales=en_US
    

As a result you will receive the following answer:

{
      "color": [
        {
          "data": "carmine_red",
          "locale": null,

          "data": "Top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": null
        }
      ],
      "description": [
        {
          "data": "Summer top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "ecommerce"
        },
        {
          "data": "Top",
          "locale": "en_US",
          "scope": "tablet"
        }
      ]
    }
    

As you can see, for the simple select attribute named color, as the attribute is not localizable (the locale field is set to null), the product value of this attribute is not filtered and you still get the code of the attribute option, carmine_red. If you want to get the localized label of this attribute option, you will have to request the attribute option endpoint.

#Example 2

You can also filter product values on several locales at the same time.

#Via channel

Available in the PIM versions: 1.7 2.x 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: CE EE

There is also a scope query parameter that will allow you to:

  • get only the selection of products that are in the tree linked to the channel you specified,
  • get only the product values for this specific channel, as well as the product values of the non scopable attributes.

#Example

To get published products from the tree linked to the ecommerce channel with only product values regarding the ecommerce channel (+ the product values of the non-scopable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/published-products?scope=ecommerce
    

Note that you cannot use this filter on several channels.

When using this query parameter, you will never be able to retrieve published products that are not categorized. This is due to the fact that we only return the selection of products that are in the tree linked to the given channel. In other words, if a given product is not categorized in this tree, you won't receive it.

Available in the PIM versions: 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: EE

If you want to receive reference entity records of one given reference entity with only the attribute values of specific locales, as well as the attribute values of the non localizable attributes, you can specify it thanks to the locales query parameter.

#Example 1

Imagine that without this filter you get these attribute values:

{
      "description": [
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "mobile",
          "data": "Calligaris is a well-known manufacturer of high-end furniture that was founded in Italy in 1923."
        },
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "ecommerce",
          "data": "Calligaris is an Italian manufacturer of high-end furniture. It was founded in 1923 in Italy in the small town of Manzano. Its creator is Antonio Calligaris, a craftman specialized in the creation of wood chairs."
        },
        {
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "channel": "mobile",
          "data": "Calligaris est un fabricant de meuble renommée qui fut fondé en 1923 en Italie."
        },
        {
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "channel": "ecommerce",
          "data": "Calligaris est un fabricant italien de meubles de luxe. L'entreprise a été fondé en 1923 en Italie dans la petite ville de Manzano. Son créateur, Antonio Calligaris, était un artisan spécialisé dans la fabrication de chaises en bois."
        }
      ],
      "creation_year": [
        {
          "locale": null,
          "channel": null,
          "data": "1923"
        }
      ]
    }
    

To get only the attribute values regarding the en_US locale (+ the attribute values of the non localizable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/reference-entities/brands/records?locales=en_US
    

As a result you will receive the following answer:

{
      "description": [
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "mobile",
          "data": "Calligaris is a well-known manufacturer of high-end furniture that was founded in Italy in 1923."
        },
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "ecommerce",
          "data": "Calligaris is an Italian manufacturer of high-end furniture. It was founded in 1923 in Italy in the small town of Manzano. Its creator is Antonio Calligaris, a craftman specialized in the creation of wood chairs."
        }
      ],
      "creation_year": [
        {
          "locale": null,
          "channel": null,
          "data": "1923"
        }
      ]
    }
    

#Example 2

You can also filter attribute values on several locales at the same time.

/api/rest/v1/reference-entities/brands/records?locales=en_US,fr_FR
    

#Record values by channel

Available in the PIM versions: 3.x 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 SaaS  |  Available in the PIM editions: EE

There is also a channel query parameter that will allow you to get only the attribute values for a specific channel, as well as the attribute values of the non scopable attributes.

Note that you cannot use this filter on several channels.

#Example

Imagine that without this filter you get these attribute values:

{
      "description": [
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "mobile",
          "data": "Calligaris is a well-known manufacturer of high-end furniture that was founded in Italy in 1923."
        },
        {
          "locale": "en_US",
          "channel": "ecommerce",
          "data": "Calligaris is an Italian manufacturer of high-end furniture. It was founded in 1923 in Italy in the small town of Manzano. Its creator is Antonio Calligaris, a craftman specialized in the creation of wood chairs."
        },
        {
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "channel": "mobile",
          "data": "Calligaris est un fabricant de meuble renommée qui fut fondé en 1923 en Italie."
        },
        {
          "locale": "fr_FR",
          "channel": "ecommerce",
          "data": "Calligaris est un fabricant italien de meubles de luxe. L'entreprise a été fondé en 1923 en Italie dans la petite ville de Manzano. Son créateur, Antonio Calligaris, était un artisan spécialisé dans la fabrication de chaises en bois."
        }
      ],
      "creation_year": [
        {
          "locale": null,
          "channel": null,
          "data": "1923"
        }
      ]
    }
    

To get only the attribute values regarding the ecommerce channel (+ the attribute values of the non scopable attributes), you can use the following URL.

/api/rest/v1/reference-entities/brands/records?channel=ecommerce
    

As a result you will receive the following answer:

You can filter the assets by their code.

Below is the operator to filter on this property, as well as the corresponding type of value expected in the search query parameter.

Operator Allowed value type Filter description
IN an array of existing asset codes Only returns assets that are in the list

#Example

/api/rest/v1/asset-families/model_pictures/assets?search={"code":[{"operator":"IN","value":["code1","code2"]}]}
    

#By update date

You can filter the assets by their update date.

Below is the operator to filter on this property, as well as the corresponding type of value expected in the search query parameter.

Please note that you have to write dates in either of these format 2021-05-17T15:19:32Z, or 2021-05-17T15:19:32+00:00 according to the ISO 8601 standard.

Moreover dates are interpreted in the time zone of the server that runs Akeneo (e.g. date.timezone setting in php.ini). For SaaS clients, please note that the time zone of the server is in UTC as this is the most precise and commonly referred to time standard.
