CloudScript: Is it possible to find an item in the Catalog when I use the displayname to find it?

I want to find an item in the Catalog but I'm not sure if it is possible to find an item when I use the displayname to find it.

I get this error message:

  "Error": {
            "Error": "JavascriptException",
            "Message": "JavascriptException",
            "StackTrace": "SyntaxError: Unexpected token L in JSON at position 0\n    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)\n    at E5E2C-main.js:415:23\n    at Array.find (<anonymous>)\n    at handlers.GrantingLeaderboardRewardsToPlayer (E5E2C-main.js:413:34)\n    at Object.invokeFunction (Script:117:33)"
        }

var displaynameenglish = "Bamboo Sword";
var request = {
        CatalogVersion: "MyShop"
    };
  
var result = server.GetCatalogItems(request);
var itemObj = result.Catalog.find(function (obj)
{
    return JSON.parse(obj.DisplayName).English === displaynameenglish
});  // find the item in the catalog

var tags = itemObj.Tags;

Is it possible to use the English displayname of the item when I use result.Catalog.find in CloudScript?

To be clear, PlayFab doesn’t have an API that can retrieve the information of a single item in a catalog. There is only GetCatalogItems, GetStoreItems or GetUserInventory, which will get the full content of inventory or catalog.

The common scenario is to get a full list of items and cache locally as an object or any data format you have defined, then search through C# language (or any other you use).

I am not sure what your code indicates, but here is my solution to your requirement.

handlers.test = function (args, context) {
    var displaynameenglish = "xxx"; 
    var request = {
        CatalogVersion: "xxxxxxxxx"
    }; 
    var result = server.GetCatalogItems(request); 
    var itemObj = result.Catalog.find(item => item.ItemId == displaynameenglish); 
    return JSON.parse(itemObj.DisplayName).English;
}

It works now. But I needed to change the Item ID in my Catalog to the English display name of the item.

It is only available in Admin API, which is not supported by Cloud Script.
