Query parameters
Useful optional inputs
limit— Bound the returned rows to what your task needs.A smaller limit does not necessarily reduce source calls or price; inspect the quote.
cursor— Continue the same source traversal with the complete returned cursor.Saved-result retrieval and a new source page can have different prices; quote the next call.
dry_run— Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.
| Name | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
query | yes | Search terms | standing desk |
location | no | Location name (sets the marketplace) | United Kingdom |
language | no | Language code | en |
department | no | Amazon department | Electronics |
limit | no | Requested rows per response, 1–1000. The source may return fewer. Remaining rows from an already purchased page use a saved cursor and cost zero to retrieve for up to one hour; further native source pages use this endpoint’s normal price. | 5 |
cursor | no | Use the returned cursor unchanged, retaining the original query, filters and limit. Saved mlo1. cursors retrieve already purchased rows at zero credits for up to one hour. A native source cursor, when supplied, starts a normally priced source page. Quote with dry_run before continuing. | |
dry_run | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. | 1 |

Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "amazon",
"endpoint": "/v1/amazon/search",
"data": {
"items": [
{
"asin": "DEMO000001",
"title": "Example desk lamp",
"price": 42,
"currency": "GBP",
"rating": {
"value": 4.5,
"votes": 84,
"max": 5
},
"reviews_count": 84
}
],
"cursor": null,
"has_more": null
},
"credits_used": 5,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
items | array | Records in this response page. |
items[].asin | string | null | Amazon product identifier. |
items[].title | string | null | Listing title. |
items[].url | string | null | Original source URL when supplied. |
items[].brand | string | null | Brand reported by the listing. |
items[].price | number | null | Listing price amount in the accompanying currency; not a checkout quote. |
items[].currency | string | null | Currency code, for example GBP. |
items[].rating | object | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].rating.value | number | null | Source star-rating value. |
items[].rating.votes | number | null | Ratings reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero. |
items[].rating.max | number | null | Maximum of the rating scale, normally 5. |
items[].reviews_count | number | null | Reviews reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero. |
items[].availability | string | null | Source availability text. |
count | number | null | Returned row count when supplied; not the full source total. |
cursor | string | null | Opaque next-page token. A missing token does not prove full history was retrieved. |
has_more | boolean | null | Source continuation indicator; null means unknown. |
_warnings | array | Collection limitations or component warnings. Read before interpreting coverage. |
marketplace | object | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
marketplace.country | string | null | Resolved marketplace country code. |
marketplace.domain | string | null | Resolved Amazon marketplace domain. |
Some source fields differ from a product-detail lookup. Fetch the selected ASIN before depending on detail-only fields.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
