lookup_catalog turns ids or URLs into full product records.
  • catalog.ids - Channel3 product ids (or variant ids)
  • catalog.urls - links to a product page on a store’s website
Don’t put https://... links in ids. Use urls for those. Examples below use UCP CLI and curl. See quickstart to install the CLI.

By product ID

ucp catalog lookup \
  --input '{"ids":["HvGOfxD","cp_def456"]}' \
  --format json
You get one product per ID when we have it. Missing ids show up in messages but won’t fail the whole request.

By product URL

ucp catalog lookup \
  --input '{"urls":["https://merchant.example.com/products/some-shoe"]}' \
  --format json
We match the URL to our index and return the product with every store’s offer as a separate entry in variants[] (same as POST /v1/lookup). Multiple sellers for one product means multiple variants — see Extension reference. For interactive variant selection (selected, preferences), use get_product instead.
If you put a URL in catalog.ids, you’ll get a message telling you to use catalog.urls instead.

Both at once

You can send ids and urls in one request if your agent has a mix.
ucp catalog lookup \
  --input '{"ids":["HvGOfxD"],"urls":["https://merchant.example.com/products/some-shoe"]}' \
  --format json
