Why Get Priorities for a Channel?

Sometimes, you may wish to retrieve the assigned priorities for a specific channel. The Inventory Management API enables you to return a list of all priorities for a channel via the Get Priorities for a Channel API endpoint.

When you make a call to this endpoint, a list of all priorities for the channel specified (using ChannelID) will be returned in the response.

API Syntax

When using the Get Priorities for a Channel API endpoint it is important to understand the syntax required to make the request. Because the Kevel API is a RESTful API, there is a specific request format that must be followed to ensure the endpoint can process the request. The format is:

GET https://api.kevel.co/v1/channel/{ChannelID}/priorities

Where:

GET - the type of API request being made.
http://api.kevel.co - the URL for the request.
v1 - the API version.
channel - the API endpoint being called.
ChannelID - the ID associated with the channel.
priorities - the priorities assigned to the channel
