# Get recently used swatches with a new endpoint

#### What's new

The `SWATCHES` product option allows users to set up visible custom color options for their products. These custom colors are saved as "recently used swatches", allowing store owners to set the same custom color again in other products easily.

This history of recently used colors in the swatches options is now available through an API call. 

#### Changes in API

New endpoint `/swatches` that supports only GET requests. Each object in the `colors` array has at least two fields:

* `name` field sets the name of the product option visible on the storefront and in customer notifications.
* `hexColor` field contains the HEX code displayed in Ecwid admin to the store owner (on the product editor page).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecwid.com/changelog/may-2025/may-16/get-recently-used-swatches-with-a-new-endpoint.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
