| rating | 4.6 |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | text | Yes | Search terms. Example: `yoga mat`. |
| `view` | text |  | How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: `compact`, `standard` (default), `full`. |
| `fields` | list of text |  | Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as `author.name`. |

## Returned fields

`data.items` is a list of product objects. Preview: the structure may change, announced beforehand.

Three views: `compact` (the most used fields, long text cut short), `standard` (the default: every standard field) and `full` (adds `ext`, the platform's own fields). A field is in the view named and in every larger one.

| Field | Type | Description | From view | This endpoint |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | text | ID; pass it unchanged to the endpoints that get the product and list its reviews. | `compact` | Yes |
| `url` | link | Link that opens the product. | `compact` | Yes |
| `title` | text | Title of the product. | `compact` | Yes |
| `description` | text | The text of the product's description. Long text: the compact view keeps the first 500 characters and says so in `warnings`. | `standard` | Not provided here |
| `price` | amount | Current price; the lowest one when its variants are priced differently. | `compact` | Yes |
| `original_price` | amount | The price before the discount; null when there is none. | `standard` | Yes |
| `currency` | text | Currency of the prices, an ISO 4217 code. | `compact` | Yes |
| `images` | list of link | Addresses of the product's pictures. | `standard` | Yes |
| `rating` | number | Buyers' rating, out of 5. | `compact` | Yes |
| `metrics` | object | Product counts. | `compact` | Yes |
| `metrics.sold` | integer | Units sold. | `compact` | Yes |
| `metrics.reviews` | integer | Reviews. | `compact` | Not provided here |
| `shop` | object | The shop that sells it. | `compact` | Yes |
| `shop.id` | text | Shop ID. | `compact` | Yes |
| `shop.name` | text | Name of the shop. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate` | list of object | Which numbers of this item are approximate or lower bounds; absent when all are exact. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].field` | text | Path of the field, such as metrics.views. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].kind` | text | Approximate, or a lower bound. Values: `approximate`, `lower_bound`. | `compact` | Yes |

A field with no value on an item is `null`. A field this endpoint cannot give is left out and listed in `meta.unavailable`.

Typical size of one item: `compact` 346 B, `standard` 612 B, `full` 612 B (measured on the response recorded 2026-10-12 21:46 UTC).

## Paging

About 48 items a page, 60 at most. The page size is the platform's; `limit` is not accepted.

Everything comes in one page; no cursor is issued.

## When you are charged

| Case | Charged |

| Invalid parameters, a failure of ours or of the data source, a timeout | not charged |

## Use it in your AI

`dataxapi setup` gives the agents on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) the DataXAPI MCP server and the base skill. The key is read from DATAXAPI_API_KEY; none is written into a file.

MCP server: `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp`. The entry for your client is under MCP in the request examples of this page; then ask your agent to call `tiktok.shop.products.search`.
