Apiguru Amazon Data tools 12
product_detailsUse for one product's current listing. Not for several ASINs (product_details_batch), seller offers or stock (offers_stock), or review text (product_reviews). Fetches the complete product record for one ASIN on one marketplace: title, price, star rating, rating count, images, description, feature bullets, variations and category. Price: $0.003 per call. 404 means the ASIN is absent from that marketplace and IS billed. 503 is a temporary failure on our side and is NOT billed - retry. Bullet points and specs are what Amazon shows for the listing; on multi-variant listings they can describe the product family rather than the exact variant. A null field means Amazon did not show it. Keys of `product_information`, `tech_specs` and the other specification tables are trimmed: Amazon prints some rows twice, once with a trailing space ("Package Dimensions "), and the copies are merged under the clean name; when they differ the listing's own value wins (the second copy of "ASIN" on a variant often names the parent).product_reviewsUse for what customers say about one product. Not for its full review history (Amazon serves full and star-filtered review lists only to signed-in accounts) or for seller feedback (seller_reviews). Returns the overall rating, rating count, review_histogram (percent of all ratings per star), Amazon's 'customers say' AI summary where that marketplace shows one, and the reviews on the product page (typically up to 8 from this marketplace and 5 from other countries), each with rating, review_date, review_country, from_this_marketplace, verified flag and helpful_votes; from_rating/to_rating keep a star window. Price: $0.003 per call. Same 404-billed / 503-not-billed semantics as product_details. No paging or sort: the reviews are those on the product page; review_coverage says how many and from where. from_rating/to_rating filter them. review_histogram (here and on product_details) gives the share of every rating. customers_say is null where Amazon shows no summary (several marketplaces never do); customers_say_note then says so.searchUse to find products by keyword and filters. Rows are result snippets; for the authoritative record of one ASIN call product_details. Search Amazon products by keyword. Filters: page, sort_by, category_id (browse node), min_price / max_price (decimals), product_condition (NEW / USED / RENEWED), brand, seller_id, today_deals and deal_type (coupons, all_discounts, buy_more_save_more). Every answer carries filters_applied, filters_ignored (with the reason) and available_filters for that marketplace. Price: $0.003 per call. Blank values and the literal string 'null' are treated as unset. Invalid page, sort_by, price, product_condition or deal_type is a free 400 naming the parameter and the allowed values. Condition and deal refinements are per marketplace; a marketplace that lacks one gets the unfiltered feed plus an entry under filters_ignored, never a silent empty page. `product_num_ratings` is an integer; `offers_count` is the "N offers" count a result card shows, an integer, and null when the card shows none (most cards; it used to default to 1); `product_brand` is the brand line Amazon prints above some titles (fashion and many branded listings) and null on cards without one -- product_details has `brand_name` for every ASIN; `product_star_rating`, `product_price` and `product_original_price` are decimal strings; a null field means Amazon did not show it. `is_prime` is true when the result carries a Prime badge or its delivery line offers Prime delivery. `metadata.reachable_pages` says how far `page` can go: Amazon serves at most 7 pages of a query even when `metadata.total_pages` counts more (then `pagination_note` says how to split the query). `_links.next` is the next page while there is one; a page past the end is a free 400 `page_out_of_range`. A full page is up to 48 results and about 54 KB; the tool returns the first 10 as light rows by default and the answer carries `_truncated`, `_omitted_fields`, `_projection` and `_notes`. filters_applied echoes the effective sort_by (RELEVANCE when none was sent). A BEST_SELLERS ordering is Amazon's query-scoped popularity, not a category rank: a row's `badges` / `is_best_seller` are what the result card showed for this query, and an ASIN that is #1 in its subcategory can carry no badge here while product_details reports best_seller=true with the rank. For a rank claim, use product_details or best_sellers. An empty `products` list is served as success only when Amazon itself reports 0 results (metadata.total is 0 and `hint` says so). Anything else that is not a usable result is an unbilled, retryable 503 with code upstream_unavailable.product_details_batchUse to enrich a list of ASINs in one call; compare the ASINs in `results` with the ones you sent. Batch variant of product_details. Accepts a comma-separated ASIN list, deduplicates it, and fetches all of them concurrently. Far cheaper and faster than N single calls. Price: $0.0024 per item (max 20). Billed per ASIN processed, including ones that come back not-found. More than 20 ASINs returns 413. Bullet points and specs are what Amazon shows for the listing; on multi-variant listings they can describe the product family rather than the exact variant. A null field means Amazon did not show it. ASINs Amazon has no record for on that marketplace are listed in not_returned (billed, like a not-found product_details call; retrying will not help). The batch record comes from Amazon's app, not the product page: price, rating, availability, images, bullets and variants, but no best-seller ranks, no category path and no merchant (seller) id. For those call product_details per ASIN. On an API key both cost one request per ASIN, so the batch saves calls and time, not money; keyless (x402) it is also cheaper per item.offers_stockUse to compare sellers' current offers and see who holds the buy box, and, with check_inventory, how many units a buyer can add to the cart now. The stock number is not a sales estimate. Not for the listing's own details (product_details). Returns the current offer list per ASIN (seller, price, condition, buy-box winner) and, optionally, the actual purchasable stock quantity. Price: $0.0045 per item (max 10). Billed per lookup, which is more than one per ASIN when check_inventory is true. offers_count=winner returns only the offer flagged is_buybox_winner (offers_total keeps the full count); it used to scope only the inventory check and return every offer. /scrape is a legacy alias for the same handler. When Amazon will not return the offer list for an ASIN, the result carries source=product_page: the featured (buy-box) offer read from the product page, offers_on_amazon (how many offers Amazon says exist) and a note; other sellers' offers and stock are then not included. With check_inventory, a cart check that cannot read a quantity is retried once on another session; one that still fails says so on the offer, inventory_response {"error": "cart check failed", "code": "cart_check_failed", "retryable": true}, is not billed, and never reads as a quantity of 0. Each offer carries `ships_from` (the "Ships from" name: Amazon for FBA, else the seller), `delivery_message` (the offer's own delivery promise, e.g. "FREE delivery Friday, October 16 on orders shipped by Amazon over $35") and `delivery_message_secondary` (the "Or fastest delivery ..." line), null when the offer shows none. `delivery` is the same value as `ships_from`, kept for existing integrations; it never held delivery information. A row for an ASIN that could not be answered carries `error`, `code`, `http_status`, `billed`, `retryable` and `next_step`, like a top-level error: `upstream_unavailable` (not billed, retry that ASIN), `no_offers` ("No offers found": the offer list holds no offer that can be bought as is -- customizable listings have none; billed like a 404) or `asin_redirected` (Amazon answers the ASIN with another listing's offers; billed like a 404). On agent.apiguru.app the answer also carries `success` and `_links` (self, and `details_url` per row); `billable_requests_count` is there on your own key only.best_sellersUse for what sells best in a department right now. The rank is Amazon's, not a sales figure. Best-seller rankings for a department of one marketplace, 50 per page. Every answer carries the department it resolved to and how (category_resolution: by slug, name or a fragment of a name, with a hint when a fragment such as 'shoes' landed on the whole 'Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry' department, or 'subcategory' when a word such as 'camera' named a subcategory), available_categories (that marketplace's departments with slugs; MCP: with compact=false) and available_subcategories (the children of the node shown, with the ids subcategory_code takes). On amazon.com subcategory_code also takes any browse node id at any depth, or a name resolved under the department ("women's shoes", "mules & clogs"); category.subcategory_path gives the node's full path and category.heading the page's own title line. Price: $0.003 per call. No required parameters - calling it bare returns US appliances page 1. `category` accepts a slug, a display name, one of the older US department names, or a unique fragment; category_resolution.via says which, and a fragment match adds a hint naming the subcategories that carry the word, with ids. On amazon.com the whole browse tree is known: subcategory_code takes any node id or a name at any depth, subcategory_name and subcategory_path are filled without a fetch, and available_subcategories lists the node's real children (empty on a leaf). Other marketplaces name only what their navigation showed. page is capped at 5 (a 400 beyond, not a 500). `rank` is the position within the requested list on this page. Rows are the same for every marketplace; only the department vocabulary differs, and the answer carries it.dealsUse for items currently promoted in Amazon's deals feed. Not for one product's price (product_details); for a brand by name use search with brand= and today_deals=true. Returns the current Amazon deals feed: ASIN, title, deal price, list price, discount, deal badge, start/end time and product links. Filter by department (categories), brand id (brands), rating cut-off, price bounds, minimum discount and Prime program. Every answer carries available_filters (the category and brand ids this marketplace accepts, with names), filters_applied / filters_ignored (what took effect) and next_offset (the next page, null when the feed ends). Price: $0.003 per call. Filters are by id: categories takes a department id or name, brands takes brand ids only; available_filters in every answer lists both with names, and filters_applied / filters_ignored report what Amazon honoured. A page is 30 rows; page with offset=next_offset (null when exhausted); total_count caps at 500. min_price, max_price, min_discount and max_discount are applied to the rows after retrieval, scanning up to 3 feed pages per call, so a page can hold fewer than 30 rows and total_count does not reflect them. An empty answer carries a hint saying why. Deal prices expire: check deal_ends_at. The older price_range and discount_range parameters are still accepted, as buckets (1-5 = under 25 / 25-50 / 50-100 / 100-200 / 200 and up; 1-4 = 10 / 25 / 50 / 70 percent off or more) or as bands such as 25-50 and 70+.seller_profile_batchUse to vet sellers: name, rating and feedback counts as Amazon displays them. Returns the storefront profile for each seller id: business name, rating, feedback counts, address and marketplace presence. Price: $0.0036 per item (max 10). Seller ID validation is all-or-nothing: one malformed id rejects the entire request with 400. Every row in results is an object with `status`: `ok` (the profile), `not_found` (Amazon has no page for that id on this marketplace; billed, like a 404) or `unavailable` (could not be retrieved right now; NOT billed on the keyed path, `retryable: true`). A row is never null. billable_requests_count counts ok + not_found rows; on the pay-per-call rail the per-item quote is settled up front, so retry `unavailable` ids in a separate call rather than expecting a partial refund. On agent.apiguru.app the answer also carries `success` and `_links.self`; `billable_requests_count` is there on your own key only.seller_productsUse to list one seller's storefront. Products listed by a seller: a storefront search. Takes the same filters as search -- query, page, sort_by, category_id, min_price / max_price, product_condition, brand, today_deals, deal_type -- and answers with filters_applied, filters_ignored and available_filters like search does. Price: $0.003 per call. A malformed seller_id is a free 400, as on seller_profile_batch. metadata.total_pages counts every page of the result (48 rows a page), but Amazon serves at most 7 pages of one query: metadata.reachable_pages is how far page can go, and when it is less, pagination_note says how to see the rest (min_price/max_price bands or category_id). _links.next is the next page while there is one; a page past the end is a free 400 page_out_of_range. Invalid sort_by, price, product_condition or deal_type is a free 400 that lists the allowed values. No single sort order lists a whole storefront: Amazon's relevance order (the default) can count far fewer products than the store holds and repeats products across pages, and other orders include products it leaves out (measured on one store: relevance 321, NEWEST 1,898; on another, relevance and NEWEST shared 90 of 161 products). Page 1 of a storefront without `query` carries `coverage_note` with the recipe: page through sort_by=RELEVANCE and sort_by=NEWEST, split a store larger than 336 products into min_price/max_price bands, dedupe by asin. An empty storefront carries `note`: Amazon reports 0 products for a seller with no listings on that marketplace and for an id that is not a seller alike, so check it with seller_profile_batch (`_links.seller_profile`). Rows have the search row shape: `offers_count` is null unless the card shows a count, and `product_brand` is null on most storefront cards (Amazon prints no brand line there; product_details has `brand_name`).seller_reviewsUse for a seller's customer feedback (service, shipping). Not for product reviews (product_reviews). Returns paginated seller feedback, optionally filtered to a star-rating window. Price: $0.003 per call. from_rating and to_rating are optional; omit both for unfiltered feedback. A page holds 5 reviews and the answer carries current_page and has_next_page; Amazon exposes no total, so page until has_next_page is false (up to page 100).list_capabilitiesList every Apiguru endpoint with its price, required parameters and supported marketplaces, plus your current access mode, cache and session budget.

check_setup_readinessWhat this account already has, what it still needs, and the single next action to take. Returns ready_to_design / ready_to_fulfill / ready_to_sell, a per-store breakdown, and an ordered next_steps list. Start here for any first-time setup, and call it again after each connection to confirm the state actually changed. Read-only, makes no provider calls, and is safe to poll. [#01f20c]list_connectable_providersFulfillment providers and sales channels this account may connect, each marked with how it connects: connect_mode "in_chat" means you can complete it here by asking for a credential, "browser" means you must dispatch an authorization link with start_channel_connect and poll. Also returns where the merchant generates the credential, when there is one. Use this before asking a user for anything, so you ask for the right thing. [#21af2f]connect_fulfillment_providerConnect an API-token fulfillment provider (Printify, Gelato) to a store, entirely in chat. Validates the token first, so a bad token fails before anything is stored. If the token maps to more than one shop the result asks you to pick one and lists them — call again with shop_id set. For Printful use start_channel_connect instead: it needs a browser. Never repeat the token back to the user. [#98598c]connect_sales_channelConnect an API-key sales channel (WooCommerce, Wix) to a store, entirely in chat. For Shopify and TikTok Shop use start_channel_connect instead: they need a browser. Credentials are write-only and are never returned. [#c9093d]start_channel_connectBegin a browser-based connection (Printful, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Fourthwall). Shopify additionally requires shop_url, the merchant myshopify domain — ask for it before calling. Returns an authorization URL to give the user. THE CONNECTION IS NOT FINISHED WHEN THIS RETURNS. You must keep polling check_connection_status (passing the same provider_uuid) until it reports connected, then tell the user. The browser tab where they authorize is NOT this conversation and cannot report back to you, so polling is the only way you or they will learn it worked. Poll every few seconds, up to about two minutes, and if it has not landed by then ask whether they finished authorizing rather than giving up silently. If they need to create an upstream account first, let them, then call this again for a fresh link. [#6d4006]check_connection_statusPoll whether a dispatched connection has completed. Call this repeatedly after start_channel_connect while the user authorizes in their browser, and announce the result when it lands: they cannot see this conversation from the tab they authorized in, so if you do not tell them, nobody does. Read-only, makes no provider call, and is safe to poll every few seconds. connected true means say so and continue setup. connected false means keep waiting. needs_reconnect means retrying will never work and you must dispatch a fresh link with start_channel_connect. [#807361]list_my_workspacesList the workspaces this account can act in, each with its uuid. Agency / multi-brand accounts have more than one (e.g. a workspace per client); a single account just has Default. The store / product / order / design tools operate on the Default workspace unless you pass workspace=<uuid>. Use this FIRST to resolve a workspace by name (e.g. a client's name) to the uuid those tools need. Read-only. [#358d40]list_my_storesList the merchant's ApparelHub stores, each with its fulfillment providers (Printful/Printify) and connected sales channels (Shopify/WooCommerce/Wix). Read-only. [#739377]list_my_designsList the merchant's generated design images (newest first). Read-only. Use these design_uuids with the design/product tools. Pass on_products=false to find orphan designs (designs not used by any live product), the supported way to audit a workspace for unused designs before archiving them. Pass archived=true to list already-archived designs. A design with no full_url carries processing_status: "pending"/"processing" means it is still being made and is worth polling, while "failed" means it gave up and processing_error says why. Branch on processing_error_code rather than matching the message text, and do not retry a design whose failure is a content block — it will fail the same way every time. [#58124e]get_design_collectionList the OTHER designs that came out of the same generation as this one. When generate_image is called with concepts > 1, one generation produces a themed set; every design is saved separately and this is how you find its siblings. The design you ask about is never included, and the list is oldest first. An ordinary design returns an empty list, which is the honest answer, not an error (an inaccessible or unknown uuid also reads as empty, so an empty list does not prove the design exists). Read-only and not metered. Each entry carries title and concept_description: the product name and retail description the model wrote for that concept. Use them to build products without asking the merchant to retype copy the model already produced; either may be null and must never be invented. background_state says whether the design can be lifted off its background: transparent is ready to place, opaque_box can be keyed automatically (process_transparency), opaque_varied cannot be separated and will print WITH its background. Asked for a set, the model often answers with pictures of finished garments rather than flat art, and building a product from one prints a garment onto a garment, so do NOT build a product from an opaque_varied design without telling the user it will print with its background. Do not describe it as "a photograph" either: legitimately textured art reports opaque_varied too. [#f2d543]list_my_productsList the merchant's products with their fulfillment and sales-channel sync status. Each channel entry also carries `health` — what the channel last said about the listing. A channel can remove or deactivate a listing at any time, so check `health`, not just `sync_status`: a product can read 'Synced' historically and still be gone. Pass store_uuid to scope to one store; omit for all products. Read-only. [#06afd6]list_my_ordersList the merchant's recent orders across channels. An order carrying `needs_attention` is one the merchant must act on (the fulfillment provider failed or cancelled it, the buyer cancelled after production started, or it was paid but never sent to production): always tell the user about those, with the `message`. Read-only. [#20d0e7]- +112 more on the listing page
