Query Parameters

​
category
string

Product category (e.g., electronics, grocery, beauty). Fuzzy human-readable input — the resolver maps it through tier 1-4 (id → exact name → trigram → embedding kNN) to a canonical category_id. Pair with category_id if you have a deterministic id from a prior call.

Minimum string length: 1
​
category_id
integer

Deterministic category id. When set, bypasses the fuzzy resolver cascade and uses tier 1 (id lookup) directly. Agents that learned a canonical id from a prior call's resolved.category_id should pin it here for round-trip stability.

Required range: x >= 1
​
department
string

Coarse depth-1 BrowseNodes department label (e.g., 'Electronics', 'Grocery', 'Toys & Games'). Exact-match, case-sensitive Title Case. Optional alongside category; either parameter alone or both together are accepted. Use this for stable cross-agent queries where the leaf-level category is too noisy.

Minimum string length: 1
​
country
enum<string>
default:us

Country (us or ca)

Available options:
us,
ca

Body

application/json

Query parameters as JSON (alternative to URL query string for agents that prefer body-based invocation).

​
category
string

Product category (e.g., electronics, grocery, beauty). Fuzzy human-readable input — the resolver maps it through tier 1-4 (id → exact name → trigram → embedding kNN) to a canonical category_id. Pair with category_id if you have a deterministic id from a prior call.

Minimum string length: 1
Example:

"electronics"

​
