**Price** $0.001 per call. [List price](https://apinoa.com/en/pricing); the rate steps down above 1,000 calls a day.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `categoryId` | string | yes | The eBay category to list, e.g. `183448` — the bare number from a category URL, where the slug and the `bn_` node are decorative. An unknown id is a 404, and a category eBay serves as a navigation hub rather than a product river is a 400 `CATEGORY_NOT_BROWSABLE`. |
| `brands` | string list |  | Brand names as the marketplace spells them, e.g. brands=Nike,Adidas. |
| `condition` | enum |  | Item condition. `new` `used` `refurbished` |
| `facets` | string \| object list |  | Narrowings taken from a result's `facets`, e.g. facets=Color:Black. The escape hatch for filters the typed vocabulary has no word for; prefer a typed parameter where one exists. |
| `freeShipping` | boolean \| enum |  | Only listings the marketplace itself advertises as shipping free. |
| `page` | integer |  | 1-based page number. eBay pages by number, so there is no `cursor`; each page is charged separately. |
| `pageSize` | integer |  | Results per page: 60, 120 or 240 only, the three page sizes eBay offers. Larger pages take longer to return (about 5 s for 240 items), but a page of any size costs one call. |
| `priceMax` | number ≥ 0 |  | Highest price to return, in decimal major units. |
| `priceMin` | number ≥ 0 |  | Lowest price to return, in decimal major units. |
| `region` | string |  | Buyer country as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2; sets availability, shipping and price. |
| `sort` | enum |  | Result ordering. `price_asc`/`price_desc` are eBay's price-plus-shipping sorts rather than its bare-price ones, and `ending_soonest` orders by auction close. `best_match` `ending_soonest` `newly_listed` `price_asc` `price_desc` |

Listing a category with no keyword at all. Same filters as `search`, minus the words.

```bash
curl "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/ebay/browse?categoryId=183448&condition=used&priceMax=50&sort=price_asc" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

`categoryId` is the bare category number from an eBay category URL — in
`ebay.com/b/LEGO-R-Bricks-Pieces-Parts/183448/bn_16564827` it is `183448`. The slug and the `bn_` node
are decorative and you can ignore both.

**No `query`.** Sending one is a 400 rather than a silent drop. Use `search` when you have words.

**An unknown category is a 404**, not an empty page — you are told the id is wrong instead of being
left to guess whether the category is simply empty.

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

One caveat that is eBay's own behaviour: a price band matches a listing whose **range** overlaps it,
while the result reports the low end. So `priceMin=10` can legitimately return a row showing `$4.90` —
a "$4.90 to $899.90" variation listing.
