Catalog Asynchronous Workflow: Step 1 of 3

Create a request for the latest catalog of the specified account using the appropriate endpoint.
This action generates a catalogId that represents the account’s catalog.
Catalog requests are cached for 1 hour, meaning repeated requests within this timeframe will return the same catalogId and output.

Create a Catalog Request for Brand account

This endpoint creates a request for the latest available catalog for a specific account

Best Practice Tip!To speed up catalog downloads, you can narrow down the results by using the brandIdFilter body parameter. This allows you to filter the catalog by specific brands, helping to return results faster.

Catalog Asynchronous Workflow: Step 2 of 3After generating a catalogId, use it to poll the catalog status endpoint to check the progress. Continue polling until the catalog is successfully created and ready for download.

Create a Catalog Request for Seller account

This endpoint creates catalog for a particular Seller account: Sample Request

curl --location 'https://api.criteo.com/{version}/retail-media/accounts/345656205021392896/catalogs/sellers' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

}

Catalog Asynchronous Workflow: Step 3 of 3Once the catalog is successfully created, use the catalog output endpoint to download the collection of catalog products. Note that catalog outputs are typically available for 72 hours before they expire, so be sure to download them within this time frame.

Download Output of a Specific Catalog

This endpoint returns the products in a specific catalog as a newline-delimited JSON byte stream Sample Request

curl -X GET "https://api.criteo.com/{version}/retail-media/catalogs/1122850670915847014/output" \

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.criteo.com")
payload = ''
headers = {
  'Accept': 'application/x-json-stream',
  'Authorization': 'Bearer <MY_ACCESS_TOKEN>'
}
conn.request("GET", "/{version}/retail-media/catalogs/357957813719011328/output", payload, headers)
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode("utf-8"))
