Request

All request parameters should be passed in the request body inside the 'params' object using the structure "Key": "Value"

option_{optionName}stringFilter by product option values. Format: option_{optionName}=param[,param], where optionName is the attribute name and param is the attribute value. You can place several values separated by comma. In that case, values will be connected through logical "OR", and if the product has at least one of them it will get to the search results. Example:

attribute_Brand=Apple&attribute_Capacity=32GB,64GB
inventorystringUse "instock" to get in stock items only or "outofstock" for out of stock items.
onsalestringUse "onsale" to get on sale items only or "notonsale" for items not currently on sale
