POSThttps://seolyticize.com/api/v1/tools/audit_merchant_feed

Reads the client's connected Google Merchant Center account (Merchant API) and audits its products: Google's own item-level issues grouped by code, worst first (disapproved, then demoted), with how many products each hits, examples and Google's help link; approval counts per destination; and what Google does not flag but Shopping placement rewards — titles too short or without the brand, thin descriptions, missing GTINs, single images, out of stock. Answers 'why are our products disapproved' and 'how good is our feed'. Needs Merchant Center connected (get_connection_link names the link; /api/connect/merchant/start). Free.

Parameters

Idempotency-Keystringheader
Any unique string, up to 200 characters. A retry with the same key and body is answered from the first answer (Idempotent-Replayed: true) for a day, so it never buys or writes twice; the same key with another body is refused.
