View Catalog

Suggest Edits

A Catalog is a named collection of rewards. All rewards must be attached to a catalog to place an order and send to a recipient. Each reward has a Unique Tango Identifier (UTID) that is used when placing an order. Each Platform has its own catalog and is established when the platform is set up. The Catalog can be changed at any time by contacting Tango.

Tango offers rewards in a variety of domestic and international branded gift cards such as those of physical stores and online retailers, prepaid cards, digital delivery of grocery and restaurant food, donations to charitable foundations, or our own Tango Choice Product (Reward Link, Promotion Link, or Disbursement Link). Using Tango API, you can view items in the platform catalog, the reward brand details, and the reward brand item (UTID) detailed information used for placing an order. For a complete list of our rewards catalog, see the full Tango Catalog.

API users that create their own in-app catalog should keep in mind that reward parameters may change from time to time. Brands often update their images, description, terms, redemption instructions, and sometimes even their names and available denominations. Use the UTID and Brand Key as your primary identifier for programmatic decisions.

❗️

Check item Availability

📘

Note:

  • Item availability is on limited release. Contact your Tango representative or email Technical Support specialists at [email protected] for more questions.

When placing an order, an item may or may not be available. The ItemAvailability will provide details such as when we are experiencing an issue or when the item is no longer available.

📘

Note:

To avoid performance issues, only use ItemAvailability with a utid filter for a specific gift card, and verbose = true. Do not check the ItemAvailability for the entire catalog when utid= blank/null.

The following code structure shows item availability payload retrieved using GET {URI}/catalogs when verbose=true:

"itemAvailability": {
            "itemAvailabilityStatus": "Availability Status",
            "note": "string",
            "resolutionDate": "2022-12-22T00:06:30.401Z",
            "statusPageUrl": "string",
            "lastModifiedDate": "2022-12-22T00:06:30.401Z"
          }

📘

Note:

When the item availability status is “Available”, the note, resolutionDate, statusPageUrl, and lastModifiedDate is not returned in the payload (null).

The following table shows the list of statuses for an utid (item) returned by ItemAvailabilityStatus:

Availability StatusDescription
AVAILABLEThis item is available for ordering.
DEGRADEDThis item is currently experiencing higher than usual errors. We are working to restore this item for you. We will have an update for you shortly.
UNAVAILABLEThis item is currently unavailable. We are working to restore this item for you. We will have an update for you shortly.
DEPRECAEDThis item is permanently unavailable.
"itemAvailability": {
     "itemAvailabilityStatus": "AVAILABLE",
     "note": "resolution date added",
     "resolutionDate": "2021-07-22T07:00:00Z",
     "statusPageUrl": "https://www.tangocard.com",
     "lastModifiedDate": "2021-07-06T20:51:14.943Z"
}

Other response parameters may include:

  • notes: Any relevant notes regarding availability. The notes are entered manually by the user.
  • resolutionDate: If known, the anticipated date to return to the Available status. The resolutionDate is manually entered by the user.
  • statusPageUrl: If applicable, contains a link to the StatusPage posting, subscribe to updates available. statusPageUrl is a manual field that contains a link to a manually-created StatusPage entry.
  • lastModifiedDate: Shows the most recent update and is an automated timestamp.
