Product Attributes API Overview
The Product Attributes API is used for adding products to the Zalando Catalog. Use the Product Attributes API when creating a product submission JSON to get product outlines and to get detailed information about any attribute type.
Product Attributes API Scopes
To use the Product Attributes API, your client must have the Products/attributes/read scope.
Many zDirect APIs require clients to have specific permissions or scopes for read or write access. You may assign scopes to your apps in the "Applications" section of the zDirect Portal.
For more information on configuring app scopes, see the Applications section of our zDirect Portal guide.
Rate Limiting
Each app may only make the following number of requests per minute:
| Environment | req/min |
|---|---|
| production | 100 |
| sandbox | 100 |
For more information, see Rate Limiting.
Sandbox Behavior
The sandbox and production environments will have different data.
Regardless of the merchant, the sandbox environment provides:
- all available outlines
- all available attribute types
- generic attribute values
In production outlines and some attribute values, such as sizes, brands, and season codes, depend on the Master Data configuration defined by the Zalando Integration Manager.
For more information, see Sandbox Testing in our Getting Started Guide.
