Autocomplete
GET /request
When making a request with the type parameter set to type=autocomplete Rainforest API will return autocomplete suggestions for the search term specified in the search_term parameter, on the Amazon domain specified in the amazon_domain parameter.
You may scope your autocomplete request to an Amazon autocomplete alias (synonymous with a product area or top-level category) by specifying the alias using the autocomplete_alias parameter. The available autocomplete_alias values vary depending on the amazon_domain used. You can find a full list of all autocomplete aliaes, per Amazon-domain, in the autocomplete aliases reference.
