Magento – How to check if a product exists in Magento 2 without throwing \Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException

exceptionmagento2productrepository

I'm attempting to scan an incoming list of products and add any new ones to the catalog. Therefore, I must run a check on each product to see if it already exists.

I'm using a ProductRepositoryInterface via DI to load each product by SKU, but if the product doesn't exist within the catalog (new product), it fails with a \Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException.

How can I write logic around this so I can either: confirm the product exists, skip it gracefully, and move on OR confirm the product doesn't exist, and then add it? Is there something like an exists() method that I'm missing?

$product = $this->productRepository->get($xmlProductSku);

Same issue here Magento2 - ProductRepository always throws NoSuchEntityException

You'd use the concrete Exception class Magento are throwing in the try/catch block

I'm not sure how .NETs SOAP API would handle this, but I'd try using the catalog_product.list method with a SKU filter. If the resulting list/array/collection/whatever-its-serialized-as is empty, then you know the product doesn't exist.

Per the comments below, the following code should get you that list

Dim productExists As Boolean 
Dim webService As MagentoService = New MagentoWS.MagentoService 
Dim filters As filters = New filters() 
filters.filter = {New associativeEntity() With {.key = "sku", .value = sku}} 

Dim productInfo As catalogProductEntity() = webService.catalogProductList(sSessionId, filters, String.Empty) 

productExists = productInfo.Count() > 0
