gmc issues

Render Merchant Center issues with their resolution content (issueresolution/v1). Read-only — shows the same account- and product-level issues Merchant Center surfaces (why an account is limited, why a product is disapproved) along with severity, the impacted regions, and Google's prerendered how-to-fix HTML. Pairs with gmc doctor and gmc preflight: doctor checks access, preflight catches problems before upload, issues explains what Google flagged on what is already live. Targets the account resolved from --account / GMC_ACCOUNT_ID / your profile.

Output

Each issue prints [SEVERITY] title, the impact message, and a region/destination breakdown. Severity is the value the API returns for the rendered issue, e.g. ERROR or WARNING. The full how-to-fix detail is HTML — it is omitted from the table and available under --json. --json emits { "issues": [...] } — the raw RenderedIssues, including prerenderedContent (the HTML) and actions.

The Merchant API exposes issues only through these POST render calls — there is no plain list. The writable triggeraction flow (starting a remediation action) is allowlist-gated by Google and is not exposed here.
