Search Indexes

Search Indexes represent the indexed data for your catalog releases. Each time a catalog is published with search enabled, a search index is created containing the product data optimized for fast querying.

Index Status​

The Search Indexes API allows you to view the status of your indexes and identify any that are out of sync. An index becomes out of sync when:

  • Indexable fields have been added, modified, or deleted
  • The index failed to build during catalog publishing
  • A reindex is required due to schema changes

Monitoring Indexes​

Use the list endpoint to:

  • View all indexes: See all search indexes for your store
  • Check sync status: Identify indexes that need reindexing
  • Filter by status: Find only out-of-sync indexes using the out_of_sync query parameter

Index Information​

Each search index includes:

PropertyDescription
catalog_idThe ID of the catalog this index belongs to
release_idThe ID of the catalog release this index was built from
out_of_syncWhether the index needs to be rebuilt

Reindexing​

When indexes are out of sync, use the reindex endpoint in Jobs to rebuild them. Reindexing ensures your search indexes reflect the current indexable field configuration.
