Backend REST API

The Product and Catalog Management REST API has been enhanced to provide flexible access to large catalog datasets while optimizing data transfer efficiency.

Streamlined access to large catalog datasets:
- Clients can request catalog datasets and specify which data to include in the response.
- A paging mechanism helps reduce the number of datasets in each request, ensuring efficient data transfer.
- These improvements allow clients to retrieve only the necessary information, reducing bandwidth usage and improving performance.
Simplified catalog management:
- Clients can now remove entire catalogs, simplifying catalog maintenance tasks.

For details and the changelog, see the REST API specification Reference - Product and Catalog Management REST API 1.5.0 (Beta).
