- attribute_list: The list of attributes by category always has the attribute "Brand Name". It's behabiour is equal to a dropdown, there is a list of values from which one option can be selected at a time. The list of available brands is unique to each seller, to see the associated brands for a given user there are two API that can be used depending on the product management solution:
- Schema: The API Get product schema returns a json skeleton of a product, including all available brands for the requesting seller under a specific category.
- Normal: Since there is no skeleton available for this kind of product manageent, there is an API that returns all existing attributes for a given category, including brand names.
- brand_name: More flexible than the previous option, this field is an open String.
- No brand: If the product does not have a brand the options "other" or "none" should be used for any of the previous methods.
