Update Products

Low-level bulk tool that creates, updates, or deletes catalog products by sending raw Meta items_batch requests as-is

Low-level bulk tool that creates, updates, or deletes catalog products by sending raw Meta items_batch requests as-is. Common use: tag products with custom labels so product sets filtered on those labels update automatically. Meta processes batches asynchronously. Use meta_ads_list_products first to find retailer ids.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
catalog_id	string or SelectItem	Yes	-	Meta catalog ID. Use Meta Ads List Catalogs first to find this value.
requests	array of object or string	Yes	-	Raw Meta items_batch requests as an array of objects, sent to Meta as-is. Each request has a method (CREATE, UPDATE, or DELETE) and a data object where data.id is the product retailer id (SKU). UPDATE also creates the item when it does not exist. Field values use Meta catalog feed format, for example price as “9.99 USD”. Example: [{“method”: “UPDATE”, “data”: {“id”: “SKU_1”, “custom_label_0”: “top_performer”}}, {“method”: “UPDATE”, “data”: {“id”: “SKU_2”, “availability”: “out of stock”}}]. Use meta_ads_list_products first to find retailer ids and current values.

SelectItem

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
value	string	Yes	-	The value of the selectable item.
label	string	Yes	-	The label of the selectable item, used for display purposes. If not provided, defaults to the value.

Output

Type: Dict

Returns catalog_id, request_count, and the Meta batch response with handles.
