Search + Product Request

LIVE REQUESTS ONLY

NOT SUPPORTED FOR BATCHES



Make a type=search request and choose how many of the top search results should have product requests run. Control the number of search results returned number_of_results= and the number of corresponding product requests include_products_count= to run. To build a search and/or product request, refer to product parameters and search parameters pages

For example, to request search results for the search term "memory cards", and run product requests for the top ten search results,on amazon.com , the request would be:

HTTP


Note: Each product request counts as +1 credit. The base search costs 1 credit, and for every result included in include_products_count, an additional 1 credit is charged. If you set include_products_count = 10, the total cost will be 1 (search) + 10 (products) = 11 credits.



Use Case and Benefits

Benefit 1: Improved API Efficiency – The ability to make a single type=search API call and automatically fan out into type=product requests reduces the need for multiple manual API calls, streamlining data retrieval.

Benefit 2: Significantly Faster Response Times – Various optimization strategies, such as limiting the number of search results, excluding sponsored_results, selectively retrieving only necessary fields, will improve response times

Benefit 3: Flexible Data Selection – Users can control the number of search results returned (number_of_results=) and the number of corresponding product requests (include_products_count=), optimizing the balance between speed and data completeness.

Benefit 4: Parallel Processing for Maximum Speed – The system executes product requests in parallel, ensuring that fetching product details does not create unnecessary sequential delays.

Benefit 5: Customizable Field Selection for Performance Gains – Using the fields= parameter, users can limit API responses to only the essential data, leading to additional speed improvements and reduced payload size. 



Example:

A search request that returns 10 results, runs product requests for those 10 results (excluding any sponsored listings), and only retrieves specific fields in the JSON response
