🔎 Fix: ERR_IDENTIFIER_REQUIRED (use ids=)
The Data API reads identifiers only from the ids parameter. Here is the one-line fix.
Last reviewed
Quick fix
Put your identifiers in the ids query parameter, comma-separated, whatever their type:
GET https://api.shopsavvy.com/v1/products?ids=611247373064,B07GV2S1GS
GET /v1/products/reviews is the one exception: it takes a single id.
Why this happens
The API returns HTTP 400 with ERR_IDENTIFIER_REQUIRED when a request has no identifiers in ids. Parameters named barcode=, upc=, asin= or url= are not read, so a request like /v1/products?upc=611247373064 looks empty to the API. Barcodes, ASINs, URLs, model numbers and ShopSavvy product IDs all go in the same ids list, and you can mix them.
Other fixes
- URL-encode product URLs and product names before putting them in
ids. - Send up to 100 identifiers per request; more returns
ERR_INVALID_PARAMS. - Errors never cost credits:
meta.credits_usedis 0 on every error response.
