| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| price | 17.9 |
| metrics.sold | 4,027 |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | text | Yes | Search terms. Example: `防晒霜`. |
| `cursor` | text |  | Cursor returned by the previous page. Pass `page.next_cursor` of the page before, unchanged. Each page is charged as a call of its own. |
| `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` | Not provided here |
| `title` | text | Title of the product. On this platform: The title as the result card words it, which may differ from the title on the product's page. | `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. On this platform: The one picture of the result card; the product itself has all of them. | `standard` | Yes |
| `rating` | number | Buyers' rating, out of 5. | `compact` | Not provided here |
| `metrics` | object | Product counts. | `compact` | Yes |
| `metrics.sold` | integer | Units sold. On this platform: Units sold as the result card shows them. | `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` 264 B, `standard` 438 B, `full` 438 B (measured on the response recorded 2026-10-12 21:55 UTC).

## Paging

20 items a page. The page size is the platform's; `limit` is not accepted.

For the next page pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor`; a cursor is valid for 1 hour. `page.has_more` is false on the last page.

## When you are charged

| Case | Charged |
| --- | --- |
| A result with data | $0.0200, once per call |
| Each further page | charged as a call of its own |
| An empty result | $0.0200 |
| Invalid parameters, a failure of ours or of the data source, a timeout | not charged |
| The most one call can cost | $0.0200 (send `X-Max-Price` to refuse anything above your own limit) |

Prices as read 2026-10-21 10:10 UTC, under price book 2, in effect since 2026-10-17 11:00 UTC; the Playground reads the price in force before a run.
