Search catalog objects

POST

 /v2/catalog/search

Searches for CatalogObject of any type by matching supported search attribute values, excluding custom attribute values on items or item variations, against one or more of the specified query expressions.

This (SearchCatalogObjects) endpoint differs from the SearchCatalogItems endpoint in the following aspects:

  • SearchCatalogItems can only search for items or item variations, whereas SearchCatalogObjects can search for any type of catalog objects.
  • SearchCatalogItems supports the custom attribute query filters to return items or item variations that contain custom attribute values, where SearchCatalogObjects does not.
  • SearchCatalogItems does not support the include_deleted_objects filter to search for deleted items or item variations, whereas SearchCatalogObjects does.
  • The both endpoints have different call conventions, including the query filter formats.
