POST /inventory/items/search

Read-only: A read that takes its filters in the body. Changes nothing, and ignores Idempotency-Key.

Searches items. The filters go in the request body. The fields are the same as on GET inventory/items/:id, including standardCost, itemPurchasePrice, and currency.

missingWeight finds the items with no weight, and missingDimensions finds the items missing a length, width, or height. A landed cost's Weight or Volume allocation needs these values. The allocation also refuses a value of 0, which these filters don't find. The collection GET inventory/items cannot filter on either.

Parameters

Name In Type Required Description
Api-Version header string · v1 yes The API version this request targets, named by its public identifier. Required on every request; omitting it, or naming a version this company does not have, is answered with 400. This document describes version v1.
