Aggregate services
POST /v1/catalog-services/aggregate
Counts the services of a product catalog with filtering and grouping by catalog section.
Fields available for aggregation:
iblockSectionId— catalog section, forgroupBy
A service has no numeric fields whose sum or average carries meaning. The sum, avg, min, max functions accept identifier fields — id, iblockId, iblockSectionId, measure, vatId, createdBy, modifiedBy, type — and the sort order sort. The main scenario is counting services with count, including by section.
Request fields (body)
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
filter |
object | yes | Filtering by the fields of GET /v1/catalog-services/fields. The iblockId key is required — the product catalog ID from GET /v1/catalogs. To select the services of one section, pass iblockSectionId with an ID from GET /v1/catalog-sections.Filtering syntax |
aggregate |
array | no | Aggregations: [{ "field": "sort", "function": "max" }]. 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). Value — iblockSectionId |

groupBy also accepts an array: "groupBy": ["iblockSectionId"], up to 5 fields.
Other scenarios
The blocks below are request bodies.
Number of services in a catalog — a body without aggregate or groupBy, the fastest request, with no records fetched. The iblockId filter is required here too:
{ "filter": { "iblockId": 25 } }
Number of services in each catalog section — services without a section are collected into a group with iblockSectionId: null:
{ "filter": { "iblockId": 25 }, "groupBy": "iblockSectionId" }
Response fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success |
boolean | Always true on success |
data.count |
number | Total number of services matching the filter |
data.aggregates |
object | Results of numeric functions: { "sort": { "max": 500 } }. Without numeric functions — an empty object |
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 or groupBy — 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 numeric functions, 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
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"count": 2,
"aggregates": {},
"groups": [
{
"iblockSectionId": 281,
"count": 2,
"aggregates": {}
}
],
"meta": {
"totalRecords": 2,
"recordsProcessed": 2,
"truncated": false,
"groupTotal": 1,
"groupsTruncated": false
}
}
}
Without groupBy, the data.groups field is absent from the response.
Error response example
400 — a field outside the list available for grouping:
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
"message": "groupBy field 'nonexistent' is not aggregatable on this entity. Available: iblockSectionId."
}
}
Errors
| HTTP | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | MISSING_REQUIRED_FILTER |
The required filter.iblockId filter was not passed — checked before the Bitrix24 call, the message contains an example body |
| 400 | UNKNOWN_FILTER_FIELD |
Filter on a field that a service does not have. The message contains the list of available fields |
| 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 |
| 422 | BITRIX_ERROR |
filter.iblockId holds the ID of an offer catalog rather than a product catalog (productType is not allowed for this catalog) |
| 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, grouping is not. count without groupBy is computed in a single call regardless of the size of the result set. groupBy and 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 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.
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.
