Verified facts
What happened
Verified from Shopify Developer Changelog, event event:1b7e67cb92e7a98b2a4e90c1: Catalog API now exposes video and 3D model media alongside images on search_catalog, get_product, and lookup_catalog responses when those assets exist.
The new catalog.filters.media filter accepts image, video, or model_3d. Multiple entries combine with AND, so a request for video and model_3d returns products with both media types.
The filter is optional, and existing queries keep returning the same products. Matching search results include media asset URLs, reducing the need for a separate media-fetching request.
Business relevance
Why it matters
Apps that build product discovery or merchandising experiences can identify media-rich products during catalog search instead of retrieving products first and filtering them after the response.
