Catalog API: New Fancy Offer Filters

With the good eatin' this holiday season, how about lightening the load Q1 with a few new filters? In our ongoing mission to provide you with the same features we ourselves enjoy integrating within our Shopzilla, Inc. properties, we have expanded the filtration options within the Catalog API Product Service.

  ON SALE? Yes!

• Filter by Free Shipping
  Description: Filter offer results based on availability of free shipping.
  Example: Display only offers with free shipping. FREE!

You will be able to see example result sets returned with these new filters through our Catalog API Interactive Documentation.  In order to access this documentation, you will need to log in with your Catalog API Key & Publisher ID.  Once you are in there, view the Product Service Resource section.  At the very bottom of this section, you will see a link "[ + ] show test form".  This will allow you to test out queries, viewing sample XML. 

 

As always, please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
