  1. investigating Feb 24, 2026, 06:26 PM UTC

    We're currently experiencing elevated response times for most APIs, and reduced success rates on some. The Google Shopping Light API appears most affected. We're still investigating and will follow up when we have more information. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

    The issue occurred due to changes from Google's side. We've made some temporary adjustements that should resolve the problem for the majority of APIs. Response times and success rates should be improving. Google Shopping and Google Shopping Light APIs may still be degraded or not function as expected. Thanks for your continued patience as we work toward a full resolution.

    We’re continuing to work on a fix to restore normal response times for the Google Shopping Light API. At this time, the issue should no longer be affecting other APIs.
