All names, identifiers, prices and availability values are fictional. They do not describe a merchant’s catalog or inventory.

Before you use the output

Product extraction is separate from customer identity resolution and event collection.

Check one record first.

Start with the smallest useful scope. Compare the returned record with its source, confirm variant identity and inspect missing fields before applying the mapping to a larger dataset.

Keep extraction warnings and the retrieval timestamp with downstream output. When a required field is missing, leave it unresolved or return to the source; do not fill it from an assumption.
