Shopify product API is not consistent in returning status attribute

[JustinKillian]

Hi,

We are facing issues with Shopify product API. It returns status attribute for some products and for some status attribute is missing. Two example are attached below

Product 1 (With status returned):
Request: https://pleasure-forge.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-10/products/6264151277749.json
Response:

Product 2 (Missing status attribute in API response):
Request:
https://pleasure-forge.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-10/products/6334212309173.json
Response:

Can someone please let us know what is the reason for this inconsistency and when it will be corrected?

I'm dealing with this inconsistency as well. I guess these are old products. If you change the status from admin page, they will start to show up in API calls as well. Interestingly, Shopify sends this information in webhooks for all of the products.
