**Price** $0.001 per call, plus $0.001 for each extra call it makes — at most 1 more, so $0.002 in total. Only `brands` and rail facets add one — either makes the call 2 units. Every other filter costs nothing extra. [List price](https://apinoa.com/en/pricing); the rate steps down above 1,000 calls a day.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `categoryId` | string | yes | REQUIRED. An Amazon browse NODE — the digits from a category URL, e.g. `172541`. The department slugs `categories` returns at its root (`electronics`) are NOT browse nodes and are refused with `CATEGORY_NOT_BROWSABLE`: call `categories` with the slug to get its child nodes and browse one of those. |
| `brands` | string list |  | Brand names as Amazon spells them, e.g. brands=Nike,Adidas. A call that uses `brands` costs 2 units instead of 1. |
| `facets` | string \| object list |  | Narrowings taken from a result's `facets`, e.g. facets=Color:Black. A call that uses `facets` costs 2 units instead of 1. |
| `page` | integer |  | 1-based page number; each page is charged separately. There is no `pageSize` (Amazon fixes the count per page, 13-47 in practice) and no `cursor` — paging is by number. |
| `priceMax` | number ≥ 0 |  | Highest price to return, in decimal major units. |
| `priceMin` | number ≥ 0 |  | Lowest price to return, in decimal major units. |
| `ratingMin` | number |  | `4` only. Amazon's rating filter offers exactly one threshold, "4 Stars & Up"; any other value is a 400 rather than a silently different search. |
| `region` | string |  | Buyer country as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2; sets availability, shipping and price. |
| `sort` | enum |  | Result ordering: `best_match`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`, `newly_listed` or `avg_review`. Defaults to `best_match`, Amazon's own relevance ordering. `best_match` `price_asc` `price_desc` `newly_listed` `avg_review` |

Listing a browse node with no keyword. Same filters as `search`, minus the words.

Every node below department level lists products, including the large ones.

```bash
curl "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/amazon/browse?categoryId=679416011&priceMax=50&sort=price_asc" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

**No `query`** — a query here is a 400, not a silent drop. Use `search` when you have words.

A response carries no `query` key, and otherwise looks exactly like a `search` response.
