Aggregate catalog products

POST /v1/catalog-products/aggregate

Counting and numeric aggregations (sum, average, minimum, maximum) over catalog products with filtering and grouping via groupBy.

Fields available for aggregation:

  • purchasingPrice
  • quantity
  • iblockSectionId

Request fields (body)

Parameter Type Req. Description
filter object yes Filtering by product fields. The iblockId key is required — the catalog from GET /v1/catalogs.
Filtering syntax
aggregate array no Aggregations: [{ "field": "purchasingPrice", "function": "sum" }]. Functions: sum, avg, min, max, count. For count, the field is "*". Without the parameter — count only
groupBy string | string[] no Field or array of fields to group by (up to 5). Values — from the list above

    ],

})

const { success, data } = await res.json()

To group by several fields, pass an array: "groupBy": ["iblockSectionId", "quantity"] (maximum 5 fields).

Other scenarios

Count records — count with field "*", the fastest request without fetching records. For a catalog, the iblockId filter is required:

JSON 
{ "aggregate": [{ "field": "*", "function": "count" }], "filter": { "iblockId": 25 } }

Response fields

Field Type Description
success boolean Always true on success
data.count number Total number of products matching the filter
data.aggregates object Aggregation results: { "purchasingPrice": { "sum": 0, "avg": 0 } }
data.groups array Groups — present only with groupBy. Each element: grouping fields + count + aggregates
data.meta.totalRecords number Total number of records
data.meta.recordsProcessed number Number of processed records (up to 5000). For a request without numeric functions — 0
data.meta.truncated boolean true when the numbers were computed over only some of the records that match the filter: fewer records were read than data.count promised — including when more than 5000 matched the filter — or the slice was cut short by a sub-page error. The size of the gap is reported in data.meta.recordsShortfall, the interrupted slice in data.meta.pageErrorSample. Always present, and false on a complete response. If the request has neither groupBy nor a numeric function, no records are fetched and the flag is always false
data.meta.groupTotal number Number of groups. Present only with groupBy
data.meta.groupsTruncated boolean true if the number of groups was limited. Present only with groupBy

Response example

JSON 
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "count": 19,
    "aggregates": {
      "purchasingPrice": { "sum": 22120, "avg": 3686.67 }
    },
    "groups": [
      {
        "iblockSectionId": 19,
        "count": 2,
        "aggregates": { "purchasingPrice": { "sum": 0, "avg": 0 } }
      },
      {
        "iblockSectionId": null,
        "count": 15,
        "aggregates": { "purchasingPrice": { "sum": 120, "avg": 60 } }
      },
      {
        "iblockSectionId": 85,
        "count": 2,
        "aggregates": { "purchasingPrice": { "sum": 22000, "avg": 11000 } }
      }
    ],
    "meta": {
      "totalRecords": 19,
      "recordsProcessed": 19,
      "truncated": false,
      "groupTotal": 3,
      "groupsTruncated": false
    }
  }
}

Without groupBy, the data.groups field is absent from the response.

Error response example

400 — a field outside the list available for aggregation:

JSON 
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
    "message": "groupBy field 'nonexistent' is not aggregatable on this entity. Available: purchasingPrice, quantity, iblockSectionId."
  }
}

Errors

HTTP Code Description
400 MISSING_REQUIRED_FILTER The required filter[iblockId] was not passed — checked before the Bitrix24 call (an example body is in the message)
400 INVALID_PARAMS The groupBy field is outside the available list — the message lists the allowed ones
400 INVALID_PARAMS A numeric function over an unknown field — Field '<name>' not found. Available numeric fields: ...
400 INVALID_PARAMS More than 5 fields passed in groupBy
403 SCOPE_DENIED The API key does not have the catalog scope
401 MISSING_API_KEY The X-Api-Key header was not passed
429 RATE_LIMITED Rate limit exceeded: 300 requests per minute per portal, all API keys of the portal share one limit. The exact value arrives in the x-ratelimit-limit header (the cap is divided across replicas). Retry after the delay in the Retry-After header

Known specifics

count is resolved in one request, numeric functions are not. count is computed in a single call regardless of the size of the result set. The sum, avg, min, max functions load records page by page — up to 5000 — and compute the values on the server side. If more than 5000 records match the filter, meta.truncated is true, and the aggregates and groups are built over the first 5000. The ceiling is not the only reason for this marker: it also appears when fewer records were read than data.count promised, and the size of the gap is reported in data.meta.recordsShortfall.

Fields for grouping and for computation. In groupBy, it makes sense to pass iblockSectionId — the catalog section. The numeric fields purchasingPrice and quantity support sum, avg, min, max.

The truncation marker travels with the number itself. When a response arrives with meta.truncated: true, the marker truncated: true sits inside every field object in data.aggregates and on every element of data.groups, and data.meta.warnings gains a warning with the code AGGREGATE_TRUNCATED. A client that reads only the number itself therefore sees that it was computed over only some of the records. None of these markers appear on a complete response.
