El servicio de inventario local te permite crear y actualizar instancias del recurso de inventario local, que contiene campos que pueden tener valores diferentes para distintas ubicaciones de tiendas físicas. Cada instancia del inventario local es secundaria de un recurso de producto existente y hereda los campos de datos del producto del recurso principal. Por ejemplo, es posible que tengas un producto que tenga un precio y una cantidad diferentes en distintas tiendas, pero que comparta un ID, una descripción y otros datos del producto en todas las tiendas. Los datos del inventario local se utilizan para los programas de las plataformas locales de Google y los anuncios del inventario local.
En esta guía, se explica qué necesitas antes de comenzar a usar el servicio de inventario local, se describen los campos y métodos disponibles, y se proporciona un ejemplo de una solicitud de servicio.
Tu cuenta de Merchant Center debe estar inscrita en un programa local: Plataformas locales en Google o Anuncios del inventario local. Para obtener más información sobre el uso de los anuncios del inventario local a través de la API de Content, consulta Comienza a usar los anuncios del inventario local.
El servicio de inventario local crea instancias de inventario local para los productos locales existentes. Primero debes crear productos locales con el servicio products de la API de Content o los feeds de datos de Merchant Center. Para ello, configura el campo channel como local. Luego, puedes usar el servicio de inventario local para crear instancias de inventario local para cada Perfil de Negocio storecode en el que se vende el producto.
Campos
Cada instancia del inventario local contiene un conjunto de campos asociados con una ubicación de tienda específica a través del campo storeCode (que defines en tu Perfil de Negocio). Solo se requieren storecode y productId para todas las solicitudes. Todos los demás campos son opcionales:
Obligatorio para todas las solicitudes: storeCode, productId (en la URL)
Para obtener una lista completa de los campos del inventario local y sus descripciones, consulta la página de referencia de localinventory.
Métodos
El servicio de inventario local solo incluye dos métodos:
localinventory.insert
localinventory.insert
te permite crear una instancia de inventario local para un solo producto local.
En este ejemplo, se muestra cómo usar el servicio de inventario local para crear una oferta en la tienda desde el 24 de febrero de 2021 a la 1:00 p.m. (GMT-8) hasta el 28 de febrero de 2021 a las 3:30 p.m. (GMT-8). La solicitud también actualiza la cantidad disponible para la instancia del inventario local. A diferencia de los feeds complementarios para los datos de productos no locales, los campos que no se incluyen en el cuerpo de la solicitud se reemplazan con esta llamada:
POST https://shoppingcontent.googleapis.com/content/v2.1/merchantId/products/productId/localinventory
localinventory.custombatch
te permite crear varias instancias de inventario local para un solo
producto local en varias tiendas o crear instancias de inventario local para
varios productos locales.

Each local inventory instance is a child\nof an existing [product resource](/shopping-content/reference/rest/v2.1/products#resource:-product),\nand inherits the product data fields from the\nparent resource. For example, you might have a product that has a different\nprice and quantity in different stores, but shares an ID, description, and other\nproduct data across all stores. Local inventory data is used for the\n[Local surfaces across Google](//support.google.com/merchants/answer/9825611)\nand [Local Inventory Ads](//support.google.com/merchants/answer/3057972)\nprograms.\n\nThis guide explains what you need before you start using the local inventory\nservice, describes the available fields and methods, and provides an example of\na service request.\n| **Note:** In v2.1 of the Content API, the local inventory service and supplemental feeds replace the inventory service in v2. To perform partial updates to non-local product data with API v2.1, use [supplemental feeds](/shopping-content/guides/products/supplemental-feeds). To make supplemental local product updates, use the [`localinventory`\n| service](/shopping-content/guides/products/local-inventory).\n\nPrerequisites\n-------------\n\n- In order to use the local inventory service, you must [create a Business Profile](//support.google.com/business/answer/6300717), [link your Business Profile to your Merchant Center account](/shopping-content/guides/how-tos/lia/link-gmb), [verify your business](//support.google.com/business/answer/6300716), and [set up your Business Profile store codes](//support.google.com/business/answer/4542487).\n- Your Merchant Center account must be enrolled in a local program: either\n **Local surfaces across Google** or **Local inventory ads** . For more\n information about using local inventory ads via the Content API, see\n [Get Started with Local Inventory Ads](/shopping-content/guides/how-tos/lia/get-started).\n\n | **Note:** If your Merchant Center account is not enrolled in a local program, setting a product's `channel` field to `local`, via the [`Products.insert`](/shopping-content/reference/rest/v2.1/products/insert) method, results in the error: \"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003echannel\u003c/var\u003e Invalid channel: local\".\n- The local inventory service creates local inventory instances for existing\n local products You must first create local products, using either the Content\n API [products](/shopping-content/reference/rest/v2.1/products) service or\n Merchant Center [datafeeds](//support.google.com/merchants/answer/7439882), by\n setting the `channel` field to `local`. You can then use the local inventory\n service to create local inventory instances for each Business Profile\n `storecode` where the product is sold.\n\nFields\n------\n\nEach local inventory instance contains a set of fields that is associated with a\nspecific store location via the `storeCode` field (which you define in your\nBusiness Profile).
