Product Attributes

The Product Attributes Import Endpoint

https://{BASE_URL}/imports/attributes

All import integration endpoints use the same authentication parameters, please see Authentication page for more details.

Like the Product Import, this endpoint uses Import Queues to handle all imported data.

You may post any amount of Product Attributes to the endpoint. Existing attributes are overwritten based on their id.

JSON Example

[
    {
        "id": "country",
        "name": { "da": "Land", "en": "Country" },
        "type": {
            "options": {
                "denmark": {
                    "id": "denmark",
                    "name": { "da": "Danmark", "en": "Denmark" }
                },
                "france": {
                    "id": "france",
                    "name": { "da": "Frankrig", "en": "France" }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "id" : "length",
        "name" : "Length (meters)",
        "type" : {
            "number" : {
                "scale" : 0,
                "suffix" : " m"
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "id" : "note",
        "name" : "Note",
        "type" : {
            "text": {
                "text":  true
            }
        }
    },
    ...
]

Models

The attribute model looks like this

{
    "id": "<string, required>",
    "name": "<L10nString, required>",
    "type": "<Attribute type, required>"
}

L10nString is a localized string.

There are 3 types of attributes

• options
• number
• text

The simplest is the text type. Since we just need to specify that the attribute is a free text attribute, we just need a presence in the json.

{
    "text": {
        "text":  true
    }
}

For the number type you need to specify a decimal scale and a suffix that can be used in presentation. The suffix can be an empty string if you don't need any.

{
    "number" : {
        "scale" : "<integer, should be 0, 1, 2 or 3>",
        "suffix" : "<string>"
    }
}

The options attribute type specifies a set of text options that a product can use.

{
    "options": {
        "denmark": {
            "id": "<string, required, must be equal to object key (denmark)>",
            "name": "<L10nString, required>"
        },
        "france": {
            "id": "<string, required, must be equal to object key (france)>",
            "name": "<L10nString, required>"
        }
    }
}
