Creating and managing your product resources

After you have created a product set, you can create products and add them to the product set. When you create a product, you must provide a display name for the product and a product category. Currently supported categories are: homegoods, apparel, and toys.

You can also supply an optional description of your product, and optional labels for your product. Labels are key/value pairs that describe your product such as color=black or style=mens. You can include labels to filter the results of a product search to only search certain product images.

Creating a product

You can use online import to create an individual product. After a product is created you can then add a reference image to it or add it to one or more product sets.

Command-line

To get the information for a product set, send a request to the following URI.
  • Replace project-id with the id of your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project.
  • Replace location-id with a valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.

Adding a product to a product set

When you have a product and product set available you can then add the product to the product set.

Command-line

To add a product to a product set, send a POST request to the following URI.
  • Replace project-id with the id of your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project.
  • Replace location-id with a valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.
  • Replace product-set-id with the id for the product set to associate with the product.
  • Replace product-id with the id for the product to add.
