Answer from AI

In addition to the array of products, the API response usually includes the following global attributes:

  • status — the response status (e.g., "success" or "error"), so the client understands the result of the request.
  • message — an additional message or error description if one occurred.
  • pagination — information about pagination if products are returned in parts (e.g., current page, total number of pages, number of items per page).
  • totalCount — the total number of products available on the server, useful for interface construction.
  • timestamp — the time the response was generated, for synchronization and debugging.

Example of a response structure:

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "",
  "totalCount": 150,
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "pageSize": 20,
    "totalPages": 8
  },
  "products": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Product 1", "price": 100 },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Product 2", "price": 200 }
  ]
}

This structure facilitates data processing and display management for the client.
