Sync catalogs

POST /api/v2/buyer/advertisers/{advertiserId}/catalogs/sync Inbound ADCP sync_catalogs endpoint. Buyers call this to sync catalog feeds and items onto the advertiser. Provide either a remote feed url or inline items per catalog — not both.

Response

{
  "catalogs": [

      "catalog_id": "summer-sale-2026",
      "action": "created",
      "platform_id": "cat_abc123",
      "item_count": 1840,
      "items_approved": 1832,
      "items_pending": 0,
      "items_rejected": 8,
      "item_issues": [
        { "item_id": "sku_4471", "field": "image_link", "issue": "unreachable URL", "severity": "error" }

      "next_fetch_at": "2026-06-08T12:00:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "dry_run": false
}

Each result carries an action of created, updated, unchanged, failed, or deleted. Item-level problems appear in item_issues with severity error or warning. When dry_run was true, nothing is persisted.

Errors
