# Product Catalog Search API

# Product Catalog Search API {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated June 26, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 20 minutes to read  
The Product Catalog Search API searches the product catalog and retrieves the eligible catalog-category hierarchy for a given context. Search supports multiple catalog types, with paginated and sortable
results.
The Product Catalog Search API provides the ability to:

* Search products by search term across one or all catalogs and across one or all categories within a catalog.
* Retrieve the eligible catalog-category hierarchy for a context, with ineligible catalogs and categories filtered out.
* Filter results by catalog, category, and catalog type (defaults to Product Offering).
* Supply a header context object to apply account-specific pricing, price lists, currency, channel, shipping/billing address, and sales agreement to search results.
* Page through result sets using a zero-based page index and page limit.
* Control sort order and sort field (for example, by relevance score).
* Optionally pass an AI Search suggestion ID to support AI-assisted search flows.
{#product-catalog-search-api__ul_s1j_mrh_sjc}

This API delegates all data retrieval to the existing script include, ensuring consistent behavior between the UI and the REST interface. Endpoints are independent and can be called individually. There is no required call order and no
dependency on other APIs.

The REST API wraps the JavaScript API [CatalogSearchAPI - Scoped, Global](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xNF8SRawW2vhR1QejoGPOw#CatalogSearchAPI-scoped_global "CatalogSearchAPI is a script include used to search and retrieve product catalog data from all application scopes.").

## Requirements {#product-catalog-search-api__section_isb_srh_sjc}

This API is included in the Product Catalog Management Core application, which is available on the ServiceNow Store.

This API is provided within the `sn_prd_pm` namespace and requires the Product Catalog Management Core plugin (sn_prd_pm) to access it.

The calling user must have the sn_prd_pm.product_catalog_viewer or sn_prd_pm.external_product_viewer roles.

## Product Catalog Search - POST /api/sn_prd_pm/catalog/search {#ariaid-title2}

Searches the product catalog and returns a paginated list of products that match the supplied search parameters.
Use this endpoint whenever an external application or agent needs to retrieve products from the catalog. For example, to populate a shopping interface, drive an AI recommendation flow, or validate catalog availability. The endpoint
delegates to the existing script include entry point and supports the same context-aware pricing and eligibility logic available in the Product Catalog UI.

### Additional usage notes {#prod_catalog_search-POST-search__section_gzc_ysh_sjc}

* If headerContext is provided only with <kbd class="ph userinput">account</kbd> but other context values such as pricelist, currency aren't provided, they are automatically fetched based on the given account to evaluate eligibility rules.
* If user has their own context variables for eligibility, those can be passed in headerContext.
* If headerContext isn't provided, the currency will default to the system currency and standard price list.
* Pass sortOrder, sortBy and aiSearchSuggestionId request parameters only if AI Search + RAG setup for product catalog search is done on the instance.

### cURL request {#prod_catalog_search-POST-hierarchy__example_sdj_gzh_zjc}

The following example shows a response with eligibility filtering applied.

Eligibility rules can restrict which catalogs and categories are returned based on the resolved context (e.g., account, currency, pricelist, address, or any combination configured in the eligibility rule matrix). When a
catalog/category is deemed ineligible, it is removed entirely from the response - it does not appear in defaultCatalog or catalogList.

In this example, eligibility rules configured on the instance exclude "Solana US Catalog" for the given context. As a result, the next eligible catalog marked as default - "Configurable Products" - is promoted to
defaultCatalog.

    curl "https://instance.servicenow.com/api/sn_prd_pm/v1/catalog/eligible-catalog-category-hierarchy" \
    --request POST \
