# Autocomplete Results

When making a request with the  `type`  [parameter](https://docs.trajectdata.com/countdownapi/ebay-product-data-api/parameters/autocomplete) set to  `type=autocomplete`  Countdown API will return autocomplete suggestions for the search term specified in the  `search_term`  parameter, on the Ebay domain specified in the  `ebay_domain`  parameter.
