path— required. Relative API path incl. the sub-API prefix, e.g. "accounts/v1/accounts/123/issues".method— optional. HTTP method. Defaults to GET.query— optional. URL query parameters, e.g. {"dataSource": "accounts/1/dataSources/2"}.body— optional. JSON request body (POST/PATCH).

Raw Merchant API call in Google Merchant Center. Ask for any required identifiers that are missing. Show me the exact change and wait for confirmation first.
Errors and limitations
"accounts/v1/accounts/123/issues" or the one-time "accounts/v1/accounts/123/developerRegistration:registerGcp"). The path must include the sub-API prefix (accounts/v1, products/v1, datasources/v1, promotions/v1, reports/v1, issueresolution/v1, quota/v1, inventories/v1, ...). query adds URL query parameters (e.g. dataSource for productInputs writes, updateMask for PATCH); body is sent as JSON. Can create, modify and delete data — use the dedicated tools when one exists.
Access also depends on token permissions, quotas, and upstream API limits.
