Search items by seller

Depending on the type of resource you use, you will obtain the following data:
Public resource: /sites/{site_id}/search? You can get the results of active items directly from the Mercado Libre listings. Private resource: /users/{user_id}/items/search You can obtain a list of the items published by a specific seller from your account.



Get items from the listings by seller

This search conforms to the rules of the platform listings. The results will always be of active items.


By seller ID

If you already know the seller's ID, just do the following:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?seller_id=$SELLER_ID

By nickname

When you do not know the seller_id of a user but the nickname, you can try the following search:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?nickname=$NICKNAME

You can also apply different filters and systems.


Into /sites/{site_id}/search? are "available_sorts" and "available_filters" fields when you add a parameter.


How filter? For example, to filter items with free shipping, you will find the "shipping" ID available among the "available_filters" and within it the value with "free" ID.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?seller_id=$SELLER_ID&shipping_cost=free

How order? In this case, you must add “sort” with the available ID of the order you want to apply, for example: “price_asc”.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?seller_id=$SELLER_ID&sort=price_asc

Note: By default the search in the listings already comes with a defined order of relevance.



By seller ID to a specific category

Using the following example you can search within a specific category.
With the next call you can check the publications of specific categories.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?seller_id=$SELLER_ID&category=$CATEGORY_ID

Items with loss of exposure

Important:
Currently, this functionality is available in Mexico and Chile, and as of December 21, 2020 it will be available in Brazil.

With the following filter, you will be able to recognize those items that are losing or could lose exposure due to claims or cancellations. You can use:
unhealthy: to identify items that are already losing exposure.
warning: for those who could lose it and that it is still possible to recover.
healthy: for items that were not impacted.

Get items from a seller account

We no longer display the block corresponding to the filters and available_filters fields to improve response times. If you require this information, send the parameter include_filters=true in the search.


By user_id

If you already know the user_id, just do the following:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search

By SKU

  • Seller_custom_field: if the item contains a SKU in the “seller_custom_field” field, you can try as follows:
curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?sku=$SELLER_CUSTOM_FIELD
 
  • Seller_sku: If the item contains a SKU in the “SELLER_SKU” field /attribute, you can try like this:
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?seller_sku=$SELLER_SKU

By status

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?status=active

With/without product identifier

Using the parameters:
- missing_product_identifiers=true get items that not have a Product Identifier loaded or submitting. Thus, you identify which listings you can improve by complying with one of the most important quality requirements.
- missing_product_identifiers=false you get the list of listings with PIs uploaded or sending.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?missing_product_identifiers=true

Filter and sort the results of the seller's items

Inside the resource /users/{user_id}/items/search? there are the "available_orders" and "available_filters" fields.

How order? In this case, you must add “orders” with the available ID of the order you want to apply, for example: “start_time_desc”.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?orders=start_time_desc

Note: By default it already comes with a stop_time_asc order applied.
How filter? For example, to filter items with listing_type "gold_pro" you will find the "listing_type_id" available among the "available_filters" and within it the value with "gold_pro" ID.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?listing_type_id=gold_pro
Note:
The use of our item search resource from a seller does not replace the use of item notifications. This is always to have the most consistent and up-to-date integration about the publication data of the vendors that work with your application.

Multiget

Use the Multiget function to improve the interaction with the resources of items and users, and thus be able to access with a single call to a maximum of 20 results. Keep in mind that the response using multiget will be returned in verb format, which means that in addition to the json with the information, we will respond with a code that will indicate if the query was successful or not for each of the searches.

Fields selection

Another alternative that you can implement in the GET to items is the selection of fields to receive only those that are necessary.


In order to define the fields you want to receive, you must add the attributes parameter as shown in the example. Learn more about how to work with Attributes in the documentation.


Request:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/items?ids=$ITEM_ID1,$ITEM_ID2&attributes=$ATTRIBUTE1,$ATTRIBUTE2,$ATTRIBUTE3

Example:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/items?ids=MLA599260060,MLA594239600&attributes=id,price,category_id,title

Response:

[
     {
          "code": 200,
           "body": {

    "id": "MLA599260060",
    "title": "Item De Test - Por Favor No Ofertar",
    "category_id": "MLA401685",
    "price": 130
              }
        }

 {
          "code": 200,
           "body": {

    "id": "MLA594239600",
    "title": "Item De Test - Por Favor No Ofertar",
    "category_id": "MLA401685",
    "official_store_id": null,
    "price": 120,
              }
        }

Search above 1000 records

To search more than 1000 records of Items, Questions and Answers in the same way users/$USER_ID/items/search or /questions/search you should:

  1. Send the parameter search_type=scan to the query and release the offset. For example:
  2. To consult more than 1000 items:

    curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?search_type=scan

    To consult more than 1000 questions about an item:

    curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/questions/search?search_type=scan&item=$ITEM_ID
  3. In the result you will get a scroll_id field that expires in 5 minutes:
  4. "scroll_id": "YXBpY29yZS1pdGVtcw==:ZHMtYXBpY29yZS1pdGVtcy0wMQ==:DXF1ZXJ5QW5kRmV0Y2gBAAAAABIu7AgWMXl6anF3SU5SMVNaQXFxTkZubHBqQQ=="
  5. To obtain scroll_id results, you must update the parameter with each call. Use the same scroll_id for all request:
  6. curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_ID/items/search?search_type=scan&scroll_id=YXBpY29yZS1pdGVtcw==:ZHMtYXBpY29yZS1pdGVtcy0wMQ==:DXF1ZXJ5QW5kRmV0Y2gBAAAAABIu7AgWMXl6anF3SU5SMVNaQXFxTkZubHBqQQ==

    This way, you will get results from 1,000.

  7. To continue obtaining the next pages of results, simply do the same GET to the request until you reach the end of the list. When you reach the end you will receive null.

Note:
If you do not use the limit parameter, 50 items of the total will be returned by default. You can add a maximum limit of 100.
