| `data_source` | object or string | Yes      | -       | Official Google Merchant API DataSource create body as an object or JSON string. Use Google's REST field names exactly. Markifact validates the top-level resource shape only; nested objects are sent unchanged and validated by Google. Do not include output-only fields such as name, dataSourceId, or input. See the Merchant API accounts.dataSources resource documentation for additional nested fields and current restrictions. Examples: primary API source for any label/language: \{"displayName":"API products","primaryProductDataSource":\{"countries":\["US"]}}; targeted primary source: \{"displayName":"US English products","primaryProductDataSource":\{"feedLabel":"US","contentLanguage":"en","countries":\["US"],"destinations":\[\{"destination":"SHOPPING\_ADS","state":"ENABLED"}]}}; common use case, supplemental feed for enriching existing products across any label/language: \{"displayName":"Supplemental product data","supplementalProductDataSource":\{}}; targeted supplemental feed: \{"displayName":"US English supplemental data","supplementalProductDataSource":\{"feedLabel":"US","contentLanguage":"en"}}; promotion source: \{"displayName":"US promotions","promotionDataSource":\{"targetCountry":"US","contentLanguage":"en"}}. |
