The catalog resolved for a channel

GET /catalogs/{catalogId}/view

The catalog resolved for a channel: its included, non-archived products with their variants and per-SKU prices.

This is the shape a channel app's catalog sync, the POS register and the B2B portal consume. An archived catalog resolves to its identity and no products — the withdrawal is final, so it is an empty catalog here rather than a 404, and every channel still assigned to it sells nothing. A view holding several catalogs merges them client-side: the union of their products, a SKU priced in several taking the lowest price (the catalogs must share a currency for that minimum to mean anything).

Access

Requires catalogs:read.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. a whole catalog with every product and variant in one unpaged answer — megabytes for a large catalog; an agent reads its prices a page at a time with catalog_list_catalog_prices

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: inventory-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://inventory.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`CatalogNotFound` catalogId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Try again shortly.
