hasContent

The hasContent filter allows you to filter products if they have a specific field. Let's say you want to get all products which have a weight value. Then you would just use this filter in the body:

"hasContent": {
 "flag" : "weight"
}

This is a very effective way to refine your selection and get optimized results. Of course, this can be combined with different filters. Such as the AND, NOT, OR filters. You can use the get-fields] endpoint to get a list of all the possible flags to filter on.

Add a locale parameter for fields that have localized values.

"hasContent": {
 "flag": "descriptions.usage",
 "locale": "en"
}

See below for an advanced use case involving the hasContent filter.
