Search for items by certification status

To identify if the publication has been through the quality certification processes, you should use the /picture-certifier/integrator/items resource. This resource will allow you to search by "status", being able to identify whether a seller’s publications are not certified (NOT_CERTIFIED) or certified (CERTIFIED) or items that are under review (UNDER_REVIEW).
