Steps a workflow can run in UPCitemdb.
- Look up a productTurn a barcode into a product: its name, brand, model, category, pictures, and what the shops UPCitemdb tracks are charging, cheapest in stock first. Takes the number printed under the bars (a UPC, an EAN, a GTIN or a book's ISBN) or an Amazon ASIN, and works out which it is. The short barcode on a small package is expanded and an old 10-digit ISBN is converted, so the code you actually have is the code that works. A barcode nobody has comes back as not found rather than as an error, so a workflow can branch on it.
- Look up several productsGive this a list of barcodes and get one row back for each (in the order they were given, and whether or not UPCitemdb holds a record), so the results can be written straight back beside the column they came from. This is the step behind filling in a supplier's spreadsheet, enriching a stock take, or checking a batch of scans. A barcode the list repeats is looked up, and returned, once.
- Search for productsFind products by name when you don't have a barcode, and get their barcodes back. Search the whole catalogue or just books, narrow it by brand, category, model number or a word in the title, and choose whether every word has to appear or the closest matches will do. Each result is the same full product record a barcode lookup returns, prices and pictures included. Worth knowing: searching is limited more tightly than looking a barcode up on UPCitemdb's free plan, so a search-heavy workflow is the first reason to add a key.
