--- title: Specifications (deprecating 10/31) slug: scaleserp/search-api/searches/google/product-specifications docTags: createdAt: 2024-08-03T18:00:34.680Z --- # Google Product Specifications deprecating on 10/31 Google no longer supports individual Shopping product pages. Product information now appears within a right-hand Product Knowledge Panel when you click an item in the Shopping results. As a result, we are replacing the **Google Shopping Product Specifications **request with the new [Google Product Details](docId:3hApftG7JUWBdR1Aei4ey) request, which extracts data directly from this panel. The Product Details request replaces the legacy Product, Online Sellers and Specifications requests. # Google Product Specifications Parameters `GET` `/search?search_type=product&product_type=specifications` The Google Product Specifications Parameters are applicable when making a request with `search_type=product` and `product_type=specifications` to retrieve product specifications results for a given product ID. The product ID is specified in the `product_id` parameter and you should also specify a `location` parameter to geo-locate the request (locations can be retrieved via the [Locations API](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/locations-api/overview)). Google Product IDs are returned by [Google Shopping search](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/search-api/results/google/shopping) requests. :::hint{type="info"} **Products & Location** Google Product pages are highly location-sensitive so it is important that you specify a `location` that matches the location that was used to retrieve the `product_id` in the original [Google Shopping search](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/search-api/searches/google/shopping) request. ::: ![](https://apiimages.imgix.net/scaleserp/images/png/docs/google_product_specifications.png?auto=format\&ixlib=react-9.5.1-beta.1\&w=600 "Google Product Specifications") For example, to request product specifications results for the product ID `13244508647295616715` in the location `United States` , the request would be: :::CodeblockTabs HTTP ```HTTP https://api.scaleserp.com/search?api_key=demo&search_type=product&product_type=specifications&product_id=13244508647295616715&location=United+States ``` ```curl curl -L --get https://api.scaleserp.com/search \ -d api_key="demo" \ -d product_id="13244508647295616715" \ -d search_type="product" \ -d product_type="specifications" \ -d location="United+States" ``` ```nodejs const axios = require('axios'); // set up the request parameters const params = { api_key: "demo", product_id: "13244508647295616715", search_type: "product", product_type: "specifications", location: "United+States" } // make the http GET request axios.get('https://api.scaleserp.com"/search', { params }) .then(response => { // print the JSON response console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, 0, 2)); }).catch(error => { // catch and print the error console.log(error); }) ``` ```python import requests import json # set up the request parameters params = { 'api_key': 'demo', 'product_id': '13244508647295616715', 'search_type': 'product', 'product_type': 'specifications', 'location': 'United+States' } # make the http GET request api_result = requests.get('https://api.scaleserp.com/search', params) # print the JSON response print(json.dumps(api_result.json())) ``` ```php 'demo', 'product_id' => '13244508647295616715', 'search_type' => 'product', 'product_type' => 'specifications', 'location' => 'United+States' ]); # make the http GET request $ch = curl_init(sprintf('%s?%s', 'https://api.scaleserp.com/search', $queryString)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); # the following options are required if you're using an outdated OpenSSL version # more details: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/13/LetsEncryptRootCertExpire/ curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180); $api_result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); # print the JSON response echo $api_result; ?> ``` ::: *** ### Google Product Specifications Parameters The following parameters are available for all requests made when `search_type=product` and `product_type=specifications` . | `Parameter` | `Required` | `Description` | | --------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `search_type` | `required` | Should be set to `search_type=product` . | | `product_type` | `required` | Should be set to `product_type=specifications` . | | `product_id` | `required` | The Google Product ID to retrieve.

You can enter any location as free-text, but if you choose one of the Scale SERP [built-in locations ](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/locations-api/overview)then the `google_domain` , `gl` and `hl` parameters are automatically updated to the domain, country and language that match the built-in location (note that this behaviour can be disabled via the `location_auto` parameter). | | `location_auto` | `optional` | If the `location` field is set to a Scale SERP [built-in location ](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/locations-api/overview)from the [Locations API ](https://docs.trajectdata.com/scaleserp/locations-api/overview), and `location_auto` is set to `true` (default) then the `google_domain` , `gl` and `hl` parameters are automatically updated to the domain, country and language that match the built-in location.
