Everything you need to build price intelligence.

Send a product name or a retailer URL. One request returns matched products with their merchant offers inline — seller, price, currency and stock — with global coverage across supported markets.

Each Search costs 10 Search credits, and so does each item in an Async Bulk job. Every other operation — Product Snapshot, Product Snapshot Batch, Product Clusters, Price History, Catalogue lookup, Schedules — costs 0 credits.

A cold call runs a live collection before it returns, so allow a 95-second timeout. A repeat of the same query is served from cache and costs the same. meta.cache_source tells you which you got. Run this query yourself →

What each call costs

Search Products10 credits

Per response that returns at least one product. A cache hit costs the same as a live scrape; empty results and failed requests cost nothing.

Async Bulk Search10 credits

Per item, reserved when the job is submitted — the same as a Search, because it is the same work. Empty, failed and cancelled-before-start items are refunded; checking status, reading results and cancelling cost nothing.

  • Product Snapshot0 credits

    Per product read by its ID.

  • Product Snapshot Batch0 credits

    Per product returned, never per call.

  • Product Clusters0 credits

    Per page of cluster members.

  • Price History0 credits

    Per product window read.

  • Catalogue lookup0 credits

    Turns product or seller text into the IDs every other operation needs. Free, so that finding an ID never costs a Search.

  • Schedules0 credits

    Creating, listing, pausing and deleting schedules is free, and a background refresh uses no credit. A later Search that returns products bills normally.

Operations that cost 0 credits do not draw on your Search rate limit, and they keep working if your Search credits run out. Only product-bearing Searches are charged.

Pricing models, included allowances, and usage limits for all Beta features may change before general availability. Existing Product Search pricing and Search-credit allowances remain unchanged unless separately announced.

Schedules Beta

Recurring catalogue discovery, included

Run selected searches through recurring catalogue discovery. Weekly and daily cadences are available globally across supported markets. Sub-daily cadences are not available yet.

Schedules management calls use no API credits, and there is no separate scheduling fee. Background scheduled refreshes use no API credits. A later customer-initiated non-empty Search follows normal billing.
