Parameters
Name Description
data array

Optional. Data for populating the Message object.

↳ expire_time Google\Protobuf\Timestamp

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. expire_time must be later than available_time and publish_time, otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is thrown. Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property expiration_date.

↳ ttl Google\Protobuf\Duration

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 expire_time is set as current timestamp plus ttl. The derived expire_time 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.

↳ name string

Immutable. Full resource name of the product, such as projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/branches/default_branch/products/product_id.

↳ id 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.

↳ type int

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

↳ primary_product_id string

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.

↳ collection_member_ids array

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.

↳ gtin string

The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) of the product. This field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 128 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned. This field must be a Unigram. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned. 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.

↳ categories array

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.

[mc_google_product_category]: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324436

↳ title string

Required. Product title. This field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 1,000 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned. Corresponding properties: Google Merchant Center property title. Schema.org property Product.name.

↳ language_code 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.

↳ attributes array|Google\Protobuf\Internal\MapField

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.

The online availability of the Product. Default to Availability.IN_STOCK. For primary products with variants set the availability of the primary as Availability.OUT_OF_STOCK and set the true availability at the variant level. This way the primary product will be considered "in stock" as long as it has at least one variant in stock. 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.

↳ available_quantity Google\Protobuf\Int32Value

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 available_time, given it purely describes product freshness regardless of when it is available on search and recommendation.

↳ retrievable_fields Google\Protobuf\FieldMask

Indicates which fields in the Products are returned in SearchResponse. Supported fields for all types: * * audience * * availability * * brands * * color_info * * conditions * * gtin * * materials * * name * * patterns * * price_info * * rating * * sizes * * title * * uri Supported fields only for Type.PRIMARY and Type.COLLECTION: * * categories * * description * * images 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.

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.

getExpireTime

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.
