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; the rate steps down above 1,000 calls a day.

ParameterTypeRequiredNotes
querystringyesKeywords to search for. Required: image search and similar-item search are not available on Amazon, so a keyword query is the only way to search.
brandsstring listBrand names as Amazon spells them, e.g. brands=Nike,Adidas. A call that uses brands costs 2 units instead of 1.
categoryIdstringNarrow to one category, by the marketplace's own id. Opaque and per-marketplace; take it from Product.category[].id or from a result's facets.
facetsstring | object listNarrowings taken from a result's facets, e.g. facets=Color:Black. A call that uses facets costs 2 units instead of 1.
includestring listExpansions that cost more than the default answer, e.g. include=facets.
pageinteger1-based page number; each page is charged separately. There is no pageSize (Amazon fixes the count per page by keyword, 13-47 in practice) and no cursor — paging is by number.
priceMaxnumber ≥ 0Highest price to return, in decimal major units.
priceMinnumber ≥ 0Lowest price to return, in decimal major units.
ratingMinnumber4 only. Amazon's rating filter offers exactly one threshold, "4 Stars & Up"; any other value is a 400 rather than a silently different search.
regionstringBuyer country as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2; sets availability, shipping and price.
sortenumResult 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

No pageSize. Amazon fixes the count per page by keyword — 13 to 47 in practice — with no client override, so accepting the parameter would mean ignoring it.

No cursor. Paging is by number; a cursor would be page + 1 wearing a disguise.

ratingMin is 4 or a 400. Amazon's rating filter offers exactly one threshold, "4 Stars & Up". Answering a ratingMin=3 request with 4-and-up results would be a different search than the one asked for, so it is refused instead.

brands and facets cost 2 units. Everything else costs 1. See Filters.

No condition, freeShipping or inStock.
