Method: projects.locations.catalogs.branches.products.setInventory

string

Immutable. Product identifier, which is the final component of name. For example, this field is "id_1", if name is projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/branches/default_branch/products/id_1.

This field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 128 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property id. Schema.org property Product.sku.

enum (Type)

Immutable. The type of the product. Default to Catalog.product_level_config.ingestion_product_type if unset.

Variant group identifier. Must be an id, with the same parent branch with this product. Otherwise, an error is thrown.

For Type.PRIMARY Products, this field can only be empty or set to the same value as id.

For VARIANT Products, this field cannot be empty. A maximum of 2,000 products are allowed to share the same Type.PRIMARY Product. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property item_group_id. Schema.org property Product.inProductGroupWithID.

string

The id of the collection members when type is Type.COLLECTION.

Non-existent product ids are allowed. The type of the members must be either Type.PRIMARY or Type.VARIANT otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is thrown. Should not set it for other types. A maximum of 1000 values are allowed. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is return.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property gtin. Schema.org property Product.isbn, Product.gtin8, Product.gtin12, Product.gtin13, or Product.gtin14.

If the value is not a valid GTIN, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

string

Product categories. This field is repeated for supporting one product belonging to several parallel categories. Strongly recommended using the full path for better search / recommendation quality.

To represent full path of category, use '>' sign to separate different hierarchies. If '>' is part of the category name, replace it with other character(s).

For example, if a shoes product belongs to both ["Shoes & Accessories" -> "Shoes"] and ["Sports & Fitness" -> "Athletic Clothing" -> "Shoes"], it could be represented as:

 "categories": [
   "Shoes & Accessories > Shoes",
   "Sports & Fitness > Athletic Clothing > Shoes"
 ]

Must be set for Type.PRIMARY Product otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

At most 250 values are allowed per Product unless overridden through the Google Cloud console. Empty values are not allowed. Each value must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 5,000 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property google_product_category. Schema.org property Product.category.

string

Required. Product title.

string

Language of the title/description and other string attributes. Use language tags defined by BCP 47.

For product prediction, this field is ignored and the model automatically detects the text language. The Product can include text in different languages, but duplicating Products to provide text in multiple languages can result in degraded model performance.

For product search this field is in use. It defaults to "en-US" if unset.

map (key: string, value: object)

Highly encouraged. Extra product attributes to be included. For example, for products, this could include the store name, vendor, style, color, etc. These are very strong signals for recommendation model, thus we highly recommend providing the attributes here.

Features that can take on one of a limited number of possible values. Two types of features can be set are:

Textual features. some examples would be the brand/maker of a product, or country of a customer. Numerical features. Some examples would be the height/weight of a product, or age of a customer.

For example: { "vendor": {"text": ["vendor123", "vendor456"]}, "lengths_cm": {"numbers":[2.3, 15.4]}, "heights_cm": {"numbers":[8.1, 6.4]} }.

This field needs to pass all below criteria, otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned:

• Max entries count: 200.
• The key must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 128 characters.
• For indexable attribute, the key must match the pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*. For example, key0LikeThis or KEY_1_LIKE_THIS.
• For text attributes, at most 400 values are allowed. Empty values are not allowed. Each value must be a non-empty UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 256 characters.
• For number attributes, at most 400 values are allowed.

string

The textual values of this custom attribute. For example, ["yellow", "green"] when the key is "color".

Empty string is not allowed. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

Exactly one of text or numbers should be set. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

number

The numerical values of this custom attribute. For example, [2.3, 15.4] when the key is "lengths_cm".

Exactly one of text or numbers should be set. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

boolean

This field is normally ignored unless AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level of the Catalog is set to the deprecated 'PRODUCT_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG' mode. For information about product-level attribute configuration, see Configuration modes. If true, custom attribute values are searchable by text queries in SearchService.Search.

This field is ignored in a UserEvent.

Only set if type text is set. Otherwise, a INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

boolean

This field is normally ignored unless AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level of the Catalog is set to the deprecated 'PRODUCT_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG' mode. For information about product-level attribute configuration, see Configuration modes. If true, custom attribute values are indexed, so that they can be filtered, faceted or boosted in SearchService.Search.

This field is ignored in a UserEvent.

See SearchRequest.filter, SearchRequest.facet_specs and SearchRequest.boost_spec for more details.

string

Custom tags associated with the product.

At most 250 values are allowed per Product. This value must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 1,000 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

For primary products with no variants set the true availability at the primary level.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property availability. Schema.org property Offer.availability.

integer

The available quantity of the item.

string (Timestamp format)

The timestamp when the product is published by the retailer for the first time, which indicates the freshness of the products. Note that this field is different from availableTime, given it purely describes product freshness regardless of when it is available on search and recommendation.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

string (FieldMask format)

• patterns
• priceInfo
• rating
• sizes
• title
• uri

Supported fields only for Type.PRIMARY and Type.COLLECTION:

Supported fields only for Type.VARIANT:

• Only the first image in images

To mark attributes as retrievable, include paths of the form "attributes.key" where "key" is the key of a custom attribute, as specified in attributes.

For Type.PRIMARY and Type.COLLECTION, the following fields are always returned in SearchResponse by default:

• name

For Type.VARIANT, the following fields are always returned in by default:

• name
• colorInfo

The maximum number of paths is 30. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

Note: Returning more fields in SearchResponse can increase response payload size and serving latency.

This field is deprecated. Use the retrievable site-wide control instead.

This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".

object (Product)

Output only. Product variants grouped together on primary product which share similar product attributes. It's automatically grouped by primaryProductId for all the product variants. Only populated for Type.PRIMARY Products.

Note: This field is OUTPUT_ONLY for ProductService.GetProduct. Do not set this field in API requests.

object (LocalInventory)

Output only. A list of local inventories specific to different places.

This field can be managed by ProductService.AddLocalInventories and ProductService.RemoveLocalInventories APIs if fine-grained, high-volume updates are necessary.

string (FieldMask format)

Indicates which inventory fields in the provided Product to update.

At least one field must be provided.

If an unsupported or unknown field is provided, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned and the entire update will be ignored.

This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".

string (Timestamp format)

The time when the request is issued, used to prevent out-of-order updates on inventory fields with the last update time recorded. If not provided, the internal system time will be used.

boolean

If set to true, and the Product with name Product.name is not found, the inventory update will still be processed and retained for at most 1 day until the Product is created. If set to false, a NOT_FOUND error is returned if the Product is not found.

string (Timestamp format)

Note that this field is applied in the following ways:

• If the Product is already expired when it is uploaded, this product is not indexed for search.

• If the Product is not expired when it is uploaded, only the Type.PRIMARY's and Type.COLLECTION's expireTime is respected, and Type.VARIANT's expireTime is not used.

In general, we suggest the users to delete the stale products explicitly, instead of using this field to determine staleness.

expireTime must be later than availableTime and publishTime, otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is thrown.

Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property expiration_date.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

string (Duration format)

Input only. The TTL (time to live) of the product. Note that this is only applicable to Type.PRIMARY and Type.COLLECTION, and ignored for Type.VARIANT. In general, we suggest the users to delete the stale products explicitly, instead of using this field to determine staleness.

If it is set, it must be a non-negative value, and expireTime is set as current timestamp plus ttl. The derived expireTime is returned in the output and ttl is left blank when retrieving the Product.

If it is set, the product is not available for SearchService.Search after current timestamp plus ttl. However, the product can still be retrieved by ProductService.GetProduct and ProductService.ListProducts.

A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with 's'. Example: "3.5s".
