This endpoint does not create new catalog items. All requests should contain a data JSON object that contains an ID for an existing catalog item.

You can use the applink field to specify deep link information; it works in a similar way to Deep Links. Provide your deep link information in the JSON format shown below.

"applink" : {"ios": [{"url":"example-ios://electronic","app_store_id":42,"app_name":"Electronic Example iOS"}],"iphone": [{"url":"example-iphone://electronic","app_store_id":43,"app_name":"Electronic Example iPhone"}],"ipad": [{"url":"example-ipad://electronic","app_store_id":44,"app_name":"Electronic Example iPad"}],"android": [{"url":"example-android://electronic","package":"com.electronic","class":"com.electronic.Example","app_name":"Electronic Example Android",}],"windows_phone": [{"url":"example-windows://electronic","app_id":"64ec0d1b-5b3b-4c77-a86b-5e12d465edc0","app_name":"Electronic Example Windows"}]}

There's a minor difference in the field names compared to the ones in deep links as each app type is a separate node and is enclosed in their respective fields.

'data\[applink\]\[android\]' is an array with only one value specified under it. This is the same case for other app types.

We don't support iOS Universal Links.

To localize any applink fields, you must provide all of them. Learn more about product deep links.
