Documents display all of the attributes that describe your products. You may have several different types of documents in your Quable PIM classifications, so it's important to understand your hierarchy before importing documents.

There are three possible steps to ensure that your documents are imported correctly:

Create new documents
Modify existing document data
Delete existing documents

Create Documents

To create a new document, you must include the document's code, type, and classification.

To create the new document within a specific classification hierarchy level, you can also include the codes for an attribute set and the classification for the document.

You can also include the document's attributes and their values.

URL Parameters
Endpoint	`/documents`		API v4 endpoint. 🚧 Note: This endpoint is unitary and creates a single resource at a time, in a single data language. In order to specify content in a specific data language, you need to use the `target_culture` URL parameter (see code example).
HTTP Method	`POST`
Query Parameters
	`targetCulture`	string	Code of the data locale.
Request Body
Required Attributes	`code`	string	The unique code of the document to be created.
	`classification_code`	string	The unique code of the classification to contain the document.
	`document_type_code`	string	The unique code of the document type to be assigned to the document. This is only required during document creation.
Accepted Attributes	`active`	boolean	If False, the document becomes inactive and is unavailable via the interface.
	`{{_attribute_}}`	string	Any attribute code with its value(s) (e.g., reference_name in the code example).
	`attribute_set_code`	string	The unique code of the attribute set used for the document.

  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Bearer ...'
}
response= requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

To edit a document, you must identify the document's unique code.

URL Parameters
Endpoint	`/documents/{{code}}` Note: `{{code}}` is the current unique code of the document to update.		API v4 endpoint. 🚧 Note: This endpoint is unitary and modifies a single resource at a time, in a single data language. In order to specify content in a specific data language, you need to use the `target_culture` URL parameter (see code example).
HTTP Method	`PUT`
Query Parameters
	`target_culture`	string	Code of the data locale.
Request Body
Required Attributes	`code`	string	The unique code of the document to be updated.
Accepted Attributes	`active`	boolean	If False, the document becomes inactive and is unavailable via the interface.
	`{{_attribute_}}`	string	Any attribute code with its value(s) (e.g., name in the code example).
	`attribute_set_code`	string	The unique code of the attribute set used for the document.
	`classification_code`	string	The unique code of the classification to contain the document.
	`document_type_code`	string	The unique code of the document type to be assigned to the document. This is only required during document creation.

Example

import requests
url= "https://{{YOUR-PIM}}.quable.com.quable.com/api_1.php/documents/blue_suede_shoe?target_culture=fr_FR"

Delete Documents

It may become necessary at some point to delete a document from Quable PIM (e.g., to synchronize with a change in your ERP). To delete a document, you must identify the document's unique code.

⚠️ Warning: When deleting a document, its variants and assets (if any) automatically become orphaned. They are not deleted from Quable PIM.

URL Parameters
Endpoint	`/documents/{{code}}` Note: `{{code}}` is the unique code of the document to update.		API v4 endpoint
HTTP Method	`DELETE`
Query Parameters
Required Attributes	`code`	string	The unique code of the document to be created.

Example

import requests
url= "https://{{YOUR-PIM}}.quable.com.quable.com/api_1.php/documents/blue_suede_shoe"
headers= {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Bearer ...'
}
response= requests.request("DELETE", url, headers=headers)
