id

Required Field

This field is required and must not be omitted

Description

Identifier should be unique for every product and not be changed or re-used for other products, a good practice is to use SKUs as ids since they are unique.

Validation Rules

  • Length must be between 1-36
  • Must be unique
  • Only ascii characters
  • Trailing whitespace characters are not allowed
  • Disallowed characters are ! + @ # $ % ^ & * < > ; :

Best Practices

Do

  • Use SKUs as ids
  • You can follow Google format but in some rare cases we might reject some offers due to stricter validation.

Don't

  • Re-use, if re-used, your product might end up indexed to the wrong Prisjakt product
  • Change over time, if changed, the product will need to be indexed again
  • Don't add whitespace characters (" ", "\n", "t") at the beginning or the end of the id field
