How health is measured

Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Search public results on Taobao. Accepts these parameters: sort, keyword, max_price, tmall_only, and min_price. Returns these fields: rating, sold_count, location, and stock.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Default	Description
`Authorization`	header	`string`	Yes	-	Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
`platform`	body	`string`	Yes	`taobao`	Platform identifier, fixed value.
`action`	body	`string`	Yes	`search`	Capability identifier, fixed value.
`keyword`	body.params	Not declared	Yes	-	Specifies the Taobao or Tmall product search term for the search action. It does not perform an exact search by store name.
`max_price`	body.params	Not declared	No	-	Sets the maximum item price filter for the search action in combination with min_price. It does not control SKU inventory limits.
`min_price`	body.params	Not declared	No	-	Sets the minimum item price filter for the search action. It is not a review score filter or an API fee parameter, and whether it filters results across shared actions like shop, product_detail, reviews, or questions is unconfirmed.
`sort`	body.params	`enum`	No	-	For product search, use relevance (default), popular, or price_desc. Default and relevance searches allow up to 20 results; popular and price_desc allow up to 10. Requests above the applicable limit are rejected before charging, and price_asc is not supported. Reviews separately accept newest or relevance, while shop does not expose this sort parameter.Allowed values`popularprice_descrelevance`
`tmall_only`	body.params	Not declared	No	-	Filters product search to Tmall-only items when set to the boolean true and limits the request to 10 results. Pass a JSON boolean only; strings such as "false" and requests above this limit are rejected before charging.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the source platform.
`title`	Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
`price`	Price as a number without a currency symbol; see currency.
`currency`	Currency code of the price (for example CNY, USD). If price is present but currency is null, do not assume a currency.
`sold_count`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`rating`	Rating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards.
`rating_scale`	Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating.
`location`	Location description passed through as is; the format varies by platform.
`shop_name`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`image_url`	Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
`stock`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401: Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422: Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402: Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429: Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503: Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty: The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
