A supplier is a brand or distributor. Prices are not here. They come from offers, in `beauty-router-orders`. ## Rules ### Catalog - `GET /v1/catalog/files` and `GET /v1/catalog/search` take the app token, so call them from your server. `GET /v1/catalog/products/{productId}` takes the user token, so your page can call it. - The files and the search results have no wholesale prices. Product details and supplier lists have none either. Prices come from `POST /v1/products/offers`. - The file links are valid for 1 hour. Download the files within that hour, or call the endpoint again for new links. - The files are gzip-compressed JSON Lines, with one object per line. Beauty Router generates them daily. - Download the full file first. After that, apply the delta every day. If you miss a day, download the full file again. - The delta has the products added, changed, or removed in the last 24 hours. A removed product has `removed: true`. - The catalog has more products than the marketplace sells at any moment, so check `availableInMarketplace` before you offer a product for sale. - Products in different sizes are separate products, each with its own `id`. They share a `groupId`. - A non-empty `setMembers` means the product is a set. A set has `brand: null`, because each member has its own brand. - `GET /v1/catalog/products/{productId}` has no batch form, so use the files for lists. - In `suppliers` on product details, `productId` is the size that supplier sells, and `id` is the supplier. ### Product matching - Matches belong to the company of the logged-in user and take the user token. A request for another company's match fails with `not_found`. - `POST /v1/product-matches` takes up to 500 products per request. `externalId` is unique within the company, and the same `externalId` twice in one request fails with `validation_failed`. - Sending the same `externalId` again returns the existing match, even if other fields changed. This result is cached forever. To match a changed product again, send it with a new `externalId`. - A match never ends as "not found". A review ends as `matched` with the product ID, or `needs_reply` with a question. When the product is not in the catalog yet, Beauty Router adds it and returns `matched` with the new product ID. - Several of your products can match the same catalog product. Send each of them. - A reply on a match that is not `needs_reply` fails with `reply_not_expected`. - A product that Beauty Router added for your match reaches the catalog files with the next daily delta. ### Photos in matching - `images` holds up to 10 photos, as HTTPS URLs that Beauty Router downloads. Photos help identify a product, so send them when you have them. - Beauty Router caches the result of analyzing a photo by its URL. The cache is global and permanent. - Never reuse a URL for a totally different picture, even years later, and even for another user or salon location. Beauty Router would use the earlier result without analyzing the new picture. - Keep the URL when the picture stays the same. Beauty Router then uses the earlier result, which is much faster. ### Suppliers - The supplier endpoints work for one salon location, the company of the logged-in user, and they take the user token. - `GET /v1/company/suppliers` returns the suppliers this location has ordered from. With `supplierIds`, it returns those suppliers, whether or not it has ordered from them. - Send up to 50 IDs in `supplierIds`, separated with commas. There is no separate endpoint for one supplier, so send one ID. - The salon can still order from a supplier it archived (`archived_by_client`). With `archived_by_supplier`, the salon cannot order from it any more. - A supplier that is `blocked` was blocked by Beauty Router. - Archive and restore fail with `user_cannot_order` for a user logged in with `canOrder: false`, and with `not_found` for a supplier the salon location has no link to. - `rating` is `null` until a supplier has 25 fulfilled orders. - `deliveryBusinessDays` is an estimate, not a promise. It is the preparation time plus the time in transit, in business days. ## How to do it ### Sync the catalog 1. From your server, call `GET /v1/catalog/files`. It returns `full`, `delta`, and `categories`, each with a `url`. 2. Download `full.url`, unpack it, and load one product per line. 3. Download `categories.url`. `parentId` is `null` for a top category, and `order` sorts the categories that share a parent. 4. Every day, call `GET /v1/catalog/files` again and apply `delta.url`. ### Search and show products - For search on your own screens, your server calls `GET /v1/catalog/search` with `q`, `limit`, and `startingAfter`. You need no index of your own. - For one product, your page calls `GET /v1/catalog/products/{productId}`. - To show the full product without building a screen, call `showProductDetails(element, productId, options)`. ### Match products 1. Send your products to `POST /v1/product-matches`. Each one needs `externalId` and `name`. `barcode`, `brand`, `size`, `details`, and `images` are optional. 2. Read each match in the response. A product with a barcode can come back `matched` right away. 3. Handle the `product_match.updated` webhook. Beauty Router sends it when a match is created as `matched` or changes status. 4. When a match is `needs_reply`, show the `question` to your user and send their answer with `PUT /v1/product-matches/{matchId}`, as `{ "reply": "Jadewell" }`. The match goes back to `in_review`. 5. To find every match that waits for a reply, call `GET /v1/product-matches?status=needs_reply`. The list has paging. 6. When a match is `matched`, keep its `productId`. ### Work with suppliers 1. List them with `GET /v1/company/suppliers`, or show one profile with `showSupplier(element, supplierId)`. 2. Archive with `POST /v1/company/suppliers/{supplierId}/archive`, and restore with `POST /v1/company/suppliers/{supplierId}/restore`. Each call returns the supplier. 3. Estimate delivery with `GET /v1/company/delivery-estimates?supplierIds=sup-1Ry6tUi3Op,sup-8Wq2eRt5Yu`. ## Read for details Read these pages for exact fields, statuses, and limits.
