Runtime_ProductList_Load_Query#


Description#

This is a runtime function intended to be called client side to query product data. Because this is a runtime (public) function no API key is required. This function has ondemandcolumns to optionally retrieve inventory, attribute and options, discounts, sale price, and default category. In addition, there are optional filters to return images including dynamically requesting image sizes that may not exist yet.

Request Parameters#

Parameter
Type Description
session_type String This will always have a hard-coded value of “runtime.” This tells Miva, no authentication is needed for the API call.
Session_ID String Passing the Session_ID in the request will allow any customer-specific discounts get applied.
count Number Maximum lines of data allowed to be returned in the response. This limit is used to prevent excessive amounts of data return
filter String A string for filtering returned data
offset Number Used with the Count parameter for paginating results of large datasets. Default 0 is no offset.
sort String The order for sorting returned data
