Roblox Catalog API no longer returning purchaseCount?

I had a working webscraper that would get the total clothing sales for a specific user. After not using it for awhile, I went back and noticed that it’s broken now because the catalog API is no longer returning purchaseCount, even though purchaseCount is still an expected response as indicated here: External Catalog Queries | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

To reproduce, you can just use the sample query given on the DeveloperHub, and notice that there is no purchaseCount for any of the returned items. https://catalog.roblox.com/v1/search/items/details?Category=5&Subcategory=5&SortType=0&SortAggregation=5&Limit=10

Am I doing something wrong, or did something change and they didn’t edit the documentation?

They haven’t changed the documentation ,but they removed public sales and purchaseCount from most of the APIs quite a while ago. Sales can still be viewed if the requester owns the asset.

Got it, thanks. That’s unfortunate.
