Item origin

The Frontend API returns items. To provide you with insight as to why an item was put on the spot that it got placed, the origin field is sometimes included.

<item>
  <itemno>10001-101</itemno>
  <title>Tweakwise Hoodie Blue</title>
  ...
  <origin>
    <type>visual-merchandising</type>
    <name>Pinned</name>
  </origin>
</item>

{
    "itemno": "10001-101",
    "title": "Tweakwise Hoodie Blue",
    //...
    "origin": {
        "type": "visual-merchandising",
        "name": "Pinned"
    }
}
