```http
GET | POST /v1/amazon/browse
```

Send parameters as a query string with `GET`, or as a JSON body with `POST`. Both are equivalent.

## Request

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

```js tab="JavaScript"
const params = new URLSearchParams({ categoryId: "679416011", priceMax: "50", sort: "price_asc" });
const res = await fetch(`https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/amazon/browse?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APINOA_API_KEY },
});
const { success, data, error } = await res.json();
```

```python tab="Python"
import os

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/amazon/browse",
    params={"categoryId": "679416011", "priceMax": "50", "sort": "price_asc"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APINOA_API_KEY"]},
)
body = res.json()
```

## Parameters

| 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. Not available on amazon.fr (`region=FR`). |
| `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. Not available on amazon.fr (`region=FR`). |
| `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. Not available on amazon.fr (`region=FR`). |
| `region` | enum |  | Which Amazon marketplace to query, by buyer country: US, CA, MX, BR, FR, IT, ES, NL, SE, TR, AE, SA, IN, JP, SG, AU. Defaults to US. Prices come back in that marketplace's own currency (JP in JPY, FR in EUR). `US` `CA` `MX` `BR` `FR` `IT` `ES` `NL` `SE` `TR` `AE` `SA` `IN` `JP` `SG` `AU` |
| `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` |

The same parameters, and every response type, are in the OpenAPI document: https://apinoa.com/openapi.json

## Response

Returns [`SearchResult`](/docs/api-reference/marketplaces/response-schema#searchresult) in `data`. A real response, shortened: arrays keep their first entries and long text is cut.

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "marketplace": "amazon",
    "page": {
      "index": 1,
      "size": 0
    },
    "items": [],
    "facets": []
  }
}
```

## Errors

| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | `CATEGORY_NOT_BROWSABLE` | The category is a navigation level with no products. Browse one of its children from `categories`. |
| 400 | `INVALID_PARAMS` | A parameter is missing, unknown or out of range. The message names it. |
| 401 | `UNAUTHORIZED` | The `x-api-key` header is missing, or the key is revoked or unknown. |
| 402 | `INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE` | The balance does not cover this call. Top up in the dashboard. |
| 429 | `MARKETPLACE_SATURATED` | Too many concurrent calls. Retry after the `Retry-After` seconds. |
| 502 | `UPSTREAM_ERROR` | The platform answered with something unusable. Retry with backoff. |

Every code is listed in [Errors](/docs/errors). Failed calls are not billed.

## Pricing

**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.

## Notes

- **Same filters as `search`, minus the keyword.** A `query` is a 400, not silently dropped. Use [Search](/docs/api-reference/amazon/search) when you have words.
- **`categoryId` is a browse node** (`679416011`). Get one from [Categories](/docs/api-reference/amazon/categories); every node below department level lists products.
- The response has no `query` key and otherwise looks exactly like a search response.
