  • Path is the path parameter of the url. For example the {id}.
  • Query is defined set of parameters attached to the end of a url.
    Example: URL.com - MediaOptions

This is an example to get manufacturers with the name Alumio. We provide the same query title as the Katana PIM swagger Documentation provided which is “manufacturerFilterModel.name”.
