Inventory Manager API · products

A page of the organization's products with their variants, newest first

GET /products

q matches title, handle or variant SKU (as GET /items), status to a comma-separated set of statuses (archived products are listed unless narrowed away), catalogId to what one channel catalog lists, sort/order pick the column and direction (an unknown catalog is a 404; an archived one lists nothing — it has been withdrawn, and it resolves empty for every reader). total counts every match regardless of the page; limit is 1-200 and omitting it returns every match; page with offset.

Access

Requires products:read or orders:read or catalogs:read.

Any one of these scopes is enough.

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

AI agent tool

Agents call this as catalog_list_products (Catalog: List products), in the catalog toolset. It only reads.

Connecting an agent: AI agents.
