Feeds

Inspect product feeds and their runs, and look up product data and recent changes.

Tips & tricks

Pick the card that matches what you're doing. Each prompt is ready to paste into your assistant.

First check

Look at the latest run

Check the latest feed run before investigating missing products. A failed run explains most gaps.

Show the latest product feed run for my website and whether it succeeded.
Failed runs

Fetch the run detail

To dig into a specific failed run, list recent runs to get the runId, then fetch the full detail record.

List the last 5 runs for feed <ID> on my website, then show me the full detail for any that failed.
Item counts

Watch for delete spikes

Watch itemsDeleted in a run result. A spike often means the feed URL returned a partial response, not that the products were genuinely removed.

Show the latest feed run for my website and flag anything unusual about the item counts.
Next step

Inspect the indexed product

Once you know a product is indexed, use the product data tools to see exactly what Hello Retail has stored for it.

Show the indexed data for product number <NUMBER> on my website.

feeds_create

Create a new V2 product feed for a customer website. The feed is created in state INACTIVE by default, so it can be configured and verified before it starts running. Once ACTIVE, the feed runs on a schedule every runIntervalSeconds (default: every 24 hours). Returns the full configuration detail of the created feed, including the new feed ID.

Write operation

This tool creates a new feed. The feed starts INACTIVE and won't run until you activate it in My Hello Retail. Your assistant will ask for confirmation before this runs.
