GTIN/ISBN/UPC to Target TCIN Lookups
GTIN/ISBN/UPC to Target TCIN Lookups
RedCircle API allows you to retrieve Target Product Data by GTIN, ISBN or UPC code when making a type=product or type=reviews request. There is no additional charge for this service.
To lookup Target Product Data by GTIN, ISBN or UPC code you simply use the gtin parameter instead of the tcin when making a type=product request.
When the gtin parameter is supplied RedCircle will attempt to look up the GTIN/ISBN/UPC on Target before then retrieving product details for the resultant tcin .When using the gtin parameter found from the results of a type = product,
type=product>in=071641174603
The full Target Product Data API request would be:
https://api.redcircleapi.com/request?api_key=demo&type=product>in=071641174603Note that RedCircle will cache the GTIN-to-TCIN mapping for 2 months. To force a new GTIN lookup (for example, if you suspect the existing mapping is stale or the product has been added to the site), use the skip_gtin_cache=true request parameter (note that using skip_gtin_cache=true decrements 2 credits from your balance, instead of 1).
GTIN and Not Found
In some instances, the GTIN found on a target product page will return "success":"false". This occurs when a product is discontinued or not in stock.
