Information

A product is any "primary" type of good produced by a brand. Each product is always assigned a unique Weedmaps Standard Identification Number, or WMSIN. Two main types of products exist: Master and Custom.

Master Product

Weedmaps provides the opportunity for organizations that own a brand to provide curated product content. Weedmaps may also curate content for a product that is common in the industry. A curated product is called a "Master" product and is designated by the attribute is_master: true.

A Master product is discoverable by any integration and can help reduce the burden of data upload when used as a reference. Referencing a Master product may also help improve search results. For more information on linking your information to a Master product, see Catalog Item.

Below are Master product examples:

Custom Product

Although a Master product provides a great way to get curated content through referencing instead of data upload, not every product will already exist on Weedmaps. When a dispensary or other retail seller needs to add product content that doesn't already exist, a Custom (non-master) product can be created and is designated by the attribute is_master: false. Resources referencing a Custom product must be created on behalf of the same organization for which the Custom product was created.

Below are Custom product examples:

Sally’s Wicked House of Wax > Sour Diesel Shatter
Green MJ Wellness Products > Sativa Topical Lotion
My Dispenary's Prerolls > Sativa Blend

API Requests

Master Product

The request types and routes available for this resource as well as details on how to structure your requests are below. See API Reference - Product for examples on how the requests might look in various languages and to test the requests in the browser.

Request	Route	Description
GET	/catalog/v1/products	Request the information for all Master `products` (see Note 1 below)
GET	/catalog/v1/products/:id	Request the information for a particular Master `product` (see Note 1 below)

📘
A previous version of this information referenced "Verified" products. Backward compatibility is maintained as a Master product is a superset of what is still considered a Verified product.
Switching API usage from "Verified" to "Master" is strongly recommended but not required.

🚧
When fetching a Master product via the API, we do not return the full description or images. However, these will be displayed on Weedmaps when posted to a Listing's Menu.

Master GET Index

/catalog/v1/products?scope_by[organization_id]=ORGANIZATION_ID&filter[is_master]=true. By default, we only return the first 10 results from the request. You can adjust the number of returned results with page[size], or adjust the returned page with page[page].

Custom Product

Request	Route	Description

🚧
After creating a Custom product, associate the appropriate Category Tags to it; otherwise, the Custom product will not display on the UI. See Making Products Discoverable for more information.

🚧
The DELETE endpoint is deprecated and will not be supported after Aug. 10, 2020.
Products can no longer be deleted as it can cause problems for historical data. Instead, when sending a DELETE request, the Product will have its discontinued_at field set to the current timestamp. You can "un-delete" a Product by sending a PATCH request and setting discontinued_at to nil.
After August 10, 2020, you will need to send a PATCH request to set a discontinued_at timestamp to designate a Custom Product resource as no longer active.
