Find the lowest price for products in stock and out of stock

If you're developing a wholesale app, you can perform an aggregation on a site with store products to count how many products are in stock vs out of stock, and what is the lowest price for the in-stock products vs. the out of stock products.

To do this, you need to perform a nested aggregation:

  1. First perform a value aggregation with "fieldPath": "inStock" to get the products that are in stock and out of stock (since this field is a boolean).

  2. Then add a scalar aggregation with "fieldPath": "discountedPriceNumeric", "type": "MIN" to get the minimum price for the in-stock and out-of-stock products returned in the first aggregation.

    Sample request:

    Copy
    1

    Sample response:

    Copy
    1

In our example, the lowest price among the 3 in-stock products is $899, and the lowest price among the 2 out-of-stock products is $500.
