Product API¶

The Product API, part of SiGREEN's suite of APIs, offers users a streamlined solution for managing products and BOM. With endpoints including POST Product and GET Product, users can seamlessly add and retrieve data related to products.

Prerequisite: In order to create a product, it is mandatory to create the product identifier type first.

Getting started with the Product APIs involves the following steps:

1. Create a product identifier type for a company in SiGREEN. The identifier type created initially in the beginning acts as the main identifier type.

   Example Request

   curl --location 'https://app.sigreen.siemens.com/api/products/identifierTypes' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
   --data '{
       "idType": "Product ID"
   }'
   ```Upload factory emissions for a product in SiGREEN.
   
   Example Response
   
   ```bash
   {
       "id": "01908d72-9005-7241-8f5c-37dcf1e65b5f"
   }
   

2. Get product identifier types for a company in SiGREEN.

   Example Request

   curl --location 'https://app.sigreen.siemens.com/api/products/identifierTypes?size=100'
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
   

   Example Response

   {
       "items": [
           {
               "id": "01908d72-9005-7241-8f5c-37dcf1e65b5f",
               "idType": "Product ID",
               "isMainIdentifierType": true
           }
       ],
       "hasNext": true,
       "hasPrev": false,

   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
   --data '{
       "factory": "Munich factory"
   }'
   

   Example Response

   {
     "id": "974ca1b0-7088-4f5f-97e6-1d44fa18f694"
   }
   

4. Get list of factories in a company in SiGREEN.

               "factory": "Munich factory"
           }
       ],
       "hasNext": true,
       "hasPrev": false,
       "page": 0,
       "pageNumber": 1,
       "size": 1,

Bill of Material API(s)¶

With the available Bill of Material APIs, you can perform the following operations:

1. Get a list of Bill of Material entries for a product version in SiGREEN.
2. Add items (Groups, Components, Products) to a BOM version.
3. Save upstream emissions for a BOM version.
4. Update metadata of a BOM item.
5. Delete a BOM item from a BOM version.

The Bill of Materials (BOM) functionality has evolved from a simple read-only feature to a fully interactive and powerful BOM management system. This enhancement allows users to perform full Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on both BOM versions and their associated items, bringing flexibility and control to how product structures are defined, maintained, and tracked.

At the core of this functionality is support for a wide range of BOM entities:

• Groups: Logical containers that can represent modules or assemblies. Groups support multi-level nesting, enabling the modeling of complex, hierarchical product structures.
• Components: Physical parts sourced from procurement systems. Users can define quantities for components but cannot alter core metadata sourced externally.
• Products: Internal products that can be linked to Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data. For these, users can manage quantity, link PCF IDs, and toggle emission-related flags like includeDistributionStage.

Users can now create and manage multiple BOM versions for a single product. Each version can carry its own identifier (e.g., "v1.0", "prototype-3"), metadata (e.g., comments, timestamps), and emissions tracking data. This versioning system enables iterative product design, version comparison, and historical tracking — essential for sustainability compliance and audit readiness.

The API also supports granular operations:

• Add or remove individual BOM items (Groups, Components, Products)
• Update specific metadata fields (e.g., group name, component quantity, product PCF ID)
• Delete entire subtrees of items if needed

A crucial addition is the upstream emissions finalization feature. Once a BOM version is fully assembled, users can finalize it by saving upstream emissions. This operation locks the BOM, preventing further changes. Locking ensures data consistency for environmental reporting and downstream calculations, protecting against accidental edits.

To aid traceability, the API offers detailed retrieval capabilities, such as:

• Listing all BOM versions for a product
• Tracking timestamps like createdOn, updatedOn, and latestSync
• Accessing emissions metadata including upstream values and lifecycle footprints

These features make SiGREEN’s BOM API not just a tool for structuring product data but a robust platform for version control, emissions accountability, and supply chain integration. It empowers product teams, sustainability officers, and procurement engineers to collaborate more effectively with full visibility into both the structure and environmental impact of their products.
