WB API Updates for February 2025
In February, we introduced a number of important updates to the API. Here’s a summary of the key changes in our monthly update.
Discontinuation of All wb.ru Subdomains
Deactivation Date: April 15, 2025
We are transitioning all API methods to subdomains ending in wildberries.ru to streamline and standardize the service structure. The same methods and data available on wb.ru are now accessible via wildberries.ru.
Currently, the following services operate on wb.ru:
If you have integrations using wb.ru, please check and update your URLs to the new domain. Otherwise, starting April 15, 2025, these methods will no longer be available, potentially causing disruptions.
Retrieving Search Query Reports in CSV Format
The «**** Seller Analytics (CSV)» section now includes methods for creating (see documentation) and retrieving (see documentation) search query reports in CSV format.
New models added to the method descriptions:
- SearchReportTextReq (request parameters)
- SearchReportTextRes (successful response structure)
Exporting detailed search query statistics helps identify the most popular keyword combinations and optimize product listings accordingly. The CSV format simplifies data processing across various analytics platforms.
New Fields in the "Search Queries by Product" Method Response
The response of the method has been expanded with eight new fields and additional price and medianPosition structures.
Newly added fields:
- nmId – WB product ID
- subjectName – product category name
- brandName – brand name
- vendorCode – seller’s SKU
- name – product name
- isCardRated – indicates whether the product has a rating
- rating – product rating
- feedbackRating – review-based rating
This enhanced dataset enables a more comprehensive analysis of search results. For example, you can compare product prices with their ratings to understand how pricing impacts search ranking.
Changes to "Seller Analytics CSV" Methods
Updates have been made to the report creation method for CSV reports:
- The SearchReportTextReq model (search query texts) now includes
subjectIdsandtagIdsfor filtering. - In the SearchReportProductReq model (search parameters), the
subjectIdandtagIdfields are no longer mandatory.
Users can now fine-tune their reports by filtering data by product categories and tags. If these fields are irrelevant, reports can be generated without explicitly specifying them.
All the above-mentioned analytics and data methods are available only with a "Jam" subscription. See more details on the subscription page.
Removal of the section Parameter from the Offer Update Method in WB Digital
The offer update request has been modified to remove the section parameter. If you do not remove this parameter from your code, the system will simply ignore it.
This change simplifies the request structure by eliminating unnecessary elements. If you are not using the parameter or cannot update your integration immediately, no issues will arise — your code will continue to function correctly.
New Version of the News API
Wildberries has released a new version of the news retrieval method. The current version (documentation) will be deprecated on April 7.
Key changes in the new version:
- The
textfield has been replaced withcontent, and news content is now provided without HTML formatting. - A new
typesarray has been added for tags.
This update simplifies news display in external applications and services—text can now be rendered directly without additional HTML processing, and tags help categorize news more effectively.
API Documentation Now Includes Links to the Help Center
Each section of the API documentation now includes links to the WB Help Center. The Help Center is a knowledge base covering marketplace operations, business processes, policies, tools, and more.
Now, while reviewing the documentation, you can easily navigate to detailed explanations in the Help Center. This saves time and helps speed up the integration process.
Discontinuation of XLSX-Based Customer Communication Methods
Starting March 31, outdated methods for retrieving will be discontinued:
- Questions (documentation)
- Reviews (documentation)
We recommend switching to the new methods:
The new format is more up-to-date and will be supported for a longer period. Transitioning to the new methods ensures stable data access and simplifies integration through unified API principles.
