The "SKU UPDATE" API is the REST API that enables any authorized application to update some attributes in ELIXPEDIA in a synchronous mode.

Routing

One advantage of this API is that the calling application does not have to care about which ELIXPEDIA instance should be targeted. Indeed, the logic built in the API would determine which instance (EMEA, APAC, AMERICAS or TRAVEL RETAIL) and which catalog (CPD, ACD, LLD or PPD) the update request should be routed to. This routing logic is mainly based on the SKU codifier, and eventually based on the location or the country that are provided in the payload.

Business Rules

Another advantage of the API is that the update process is the same than when updating from the ELIXPEDIA user interface: all business rules applied and error messages are identical.

PAYLOAD FORMAT

Another advantage of the API is that the payload of the update request is very similar to the response of "SKU GET" API: attributes structure and names are identical.
