# Catalogs

*Product catalogs* are data feeds that hold a list of your products and their metadata, like an image of them or their current price. Product catalogs are commonly created via an e-commerce or shopping cart solution, which are then imported to impact.com. While you cannot create or delete a catalog directly via the API, you can use it to automate several key management tasks. The API enables you to programmatically update a catalog's settings, upload a file to populate it, and manage the individual items within it.

Product catalogs are used to show your partners what products you sell and supply them with information on those products.

For all other management functions, including creating and deleting catalogs, see the [Product Catalogs](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/engage/ads/productcatalogs/manage-ads-product-catalog-flow.ihtml) screen in the impact.com web app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://integrations.impact.com/brand-api-reference/reference/catalogs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
