POST /api/sofmap/products/facets

Price: 1 credit

Get the full filter catalogue Sofmap (ソフマップ) offers inside one category: its child categories, new versus second-hand counts, second-hand condition grades, every maker and colour, the price bands, the availability flags and the category-specific specification facets, each value with the number of products behind it and the code to pass back to the search endpoint.

How to use it

Given a category_id (e.g. '001010150' from the categories endpoint) return every filter that category supports. Each facet has an id that stays the same wherever that facet appears, the key it occupies in this category, a Japanese name, the payload_field of the search endpoint it feeds, and its values with value (the code to send), name and product_count. Maker codes go into the maker field of the search endpoint, specification facet codes into specs, condition grades into used_rank, colours into color and the price bands into price_min/price_max. The specification facets differ from one category to another, so read them per category rather than assuming a fixed set.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Request body

• facets array (default: [])
  • @type string (default: "SofmapFacet")
  • id string required
  • key string required
  • name string nullable
  • payload_field string nullable
  • values array (default: [])
    • @type string (default: "SofmapFacetValue")
    • value string required
    • name string nullable
    • product_count integer nullable
    • price_min integer nullable
    • price_max integer nullable
    • is_parent boolean (default: false)
    • is_current boolean (default: false)

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — The requested category does not exist on sofmap.com Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
