• Response

Key	Value
Status	A string describing the final state of the import. SUCCESS = error-free import process PARTIAL_SUCCESS = import completed but generated one or more warnings FAILURE = one or more errors occurred during the import
Warnings	It is optional, ie. is included only if the ?debug parameter is in the URL and the import generated at least one warning. List of warning strings.
Errors	Optional - included only if the import generated at least one error. List of warning strings.
Total Lines	Optional - is included only if the import did not end with the status "FAILURE" Number of records on input.
Duplicated Products	Optional - is included only if the import did not end with the status "FAILURE" The number of records that were skipped because this product was already imported in the same request.
Ignored Products	By default, if the import cannot find a live product with specified ID, it searches the deleted products list instead. If a deleted product is found, it is restored. Enabling this option means that deleted products are ignored instead of being restored.
