Headers

context

string

Specifies the context in which to operate. If omitted, the default context en is used.

In Bluestone PIM, the context is generally synonymous with the language setting. The context determines how product information is tailored and presented based on language or other local specifications.

For more detailed information on how context relates to language settings in Bluestone PIM, refer to the Languages and Context documentation.

Note: The default context is identified by the ID "en". IDs for additional contexts begin with a lowercase "L", not with the digit "1", followed by a number. This naming convention helps distinguish between default and custom contexts within Bluestone PIM.

context-fallback

string

Specifies whether to enable the fallback mechanism for the context. If omitted, the default value true will be used. When set to true, the system will provide a default translation or relevant information if the requested context's specific translation is missing.

For more detailed information on how context relates to language settings in Bluestone PIM, refer to the Languages and Context documentation.

Note: Setting the context-fallback parameter to false disables the fallback mechanism. In this configuration, if a translation or specific context information is not available, the system will not provide an alternative or default content. This ensures that only content that matches the exact context ID requested is returned, potentially leading to cases where no content is available if the specific translation is missing.
