I am trying to access sandbox Default Account items that were created for purchase from the Catalog List API. However, the list is empty when I make the API call from the explorer with the Default Account access token in Sandbox mode. I am seeing production items returned from the API explorer when I switch modes. Is there some kind of documentation/step I am missing in marking sandbox items for display in the catalog? I am able to access the items from an empty search catalog items request. ---

With our sandbox items in the production catalog won’t be available in the sandbox catalog. You’ll need to create items in sandbox to populate the catalog. 🙂 ---

Sounds good, that was already done, I have created separate items in the sandbox account, these newly created items though are not showing up when I run the “List Catalog” request. They are however showing up when I run the “Search Catalog Items” request. I imagine I did something wrong when configuring these sandbox items that is preventing them from showing up in the catalog. Any insight into that and how I can get these items to display when I hit the “List Catalog” endpoint? ---

What are the `catalog_object_ids` and what’s the application ID. Also please **never** share the access token. They are secret. I’d recommend recycling the one you posted here. 🙂 ---

Ok it is recycled, sandbox-sq0idb-EpaF2Kv7eJScMz6Lrwa7qg, I dont see a catalog\_object\_id on the items that are returned from the “search catalog items” response. “id”: “BNWPACIGYFXN5RZCK46ODWTU”. Here is an id of one of the items. ---

I just called `ListCatalog` for that item and it was in the results. 🙂 ---

In the first image the explorer is calling the list catalog endpoint using the “sandbox-sq0idb-EpaF2Kv7eJScMz6Lrwa7qg” Default Test Account. No results are returned, this is unexpected since I have created 5 products from the seller sandbox dashboard. In the second image I am calling the Search Catalog Item endpoint with the same sandbox access token and my items are appearing as expected. Question is why am I getting no items from the ListCatalog call but I am getting items from the SearchCatalog call. I would expect the search catalog call to always have the same number of items or less but never more. Is there something that I am not understanding? ![catalog list](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/square/original/2X/5/5ab44d25660c93687e30f75fac675636a8ebe6bc.png) ---

You can disregard. The wrong catalog version is autofilled by the explorer. removing that provides the expected results ---
