Active Sales returns no products

[Abhijith Reddy]

Hi,

A call to https://api.gilt.com/v1/sales/women/active.json returns sale "Tart" with sale-key "tart-54"  with no "products" . But Gilt.com lists some products in the same sale.

My question is is there a different way to list products in such sales or are some sales not available via the Gilt API ?

Thanks

Hi,

As documented on https://dev.gilt.com/page/gilt-public-apis, the "products" array of the sale response object is optional. We may be unable to expose product information for some sales due to agreements with vendors or at our discretion for others reason which we may not be able to disclose. In this case, it would be possible to promote the sale and drive traffic to the sale-level but not the products within the sale. If your application is product-focused rather than highlighting sales, you should build it in a way that it can safely ignore any sales that don't have any products available via the API.

Thanks,

Casey

In addition to this question , Does this limitation apply to product skus as well ? For example  this product 

http://www.gilt.com/sale/women/pour-la-victoire-126/product/144399151-pour-la-victoire-lucca-large-tote 

comes in 3 colors . But the api returns only 1 color.

Hi Abhijith,

I can't think of why that would happen but it's possible there's some flag that's preventing it from showing up. I'll look into this some more and see if there's a reason for it. If you see it again, please feel free to email us directly at a...@gilt.com so we can try to hunt it down.

Thanks,

Casey
