You can search by UPC using the keyword parameter. However, coverage in the SDC catalog is only about 30%, so if you don't get a result when searching by UPC, it doesn't necessarily mean we don't have the product in our catalog. Also, UPC is often sourced from merchant feeds, and there are about 6 different formats of UPC (ironically), so what we have in our catalog may be different than what you are searching for.
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to search by UPC code using the API. If som in what field in the REST request should the UPC be?
Thanks,

We are seeing much less than 30%. Could you give us some examples of the 6 different formats? Perhaps that would help.

Hi Jason -
We are investigating UPC coverage in our catalog at the moment. I will provide more information when I have it.
thanks,
