Catalog Batch API - Commerce

Updated: Feb 9, 2026

Use the Catalog Batch API for these use cases:

• If you have large catalogs, such as a catalog containing millions of items with quickly changing inventory. You can create, update, and delete multiple items in a single HTTP request.
• If you need to create and update product information more often than once an hour (otherwise, use the Feed API). You can update multiple items in a single HTTP request.

How It Works

The Catalog Batch API for Commerce consists of the following endpoints:

Endpoint	Description	See Guide
POST /{catalog_id}/batch	Sends a batch of requests (create, update, delete) for an ecommerce catalog. Used only for product items.	Send Item Updates
POST /{catalog_id}/items_batch	Sends a batch of requests (create, update, delete) for a catalog. Used for a variety of different objects, such as products, hotels, hotel rooms, flights, destination, home listings, vehicle, and vehicle offers.	Send Product Updates
GET /{catalog_id}/check_batch_request_status	Checks the status of a batch request. Use a handle (returned from a call to {catalog_id}/batch) and make a GET call.	Check Batch Request Status

The parameter names for /{catalog_id}/batch and /{catalog_id}/items_batch may appear to be similar, but they are distinctly different.
