# Similar Products

> Get 10, 50 or 100 products similar to an Amazon ASIN, with brand, category path, image and title, using the SIMILAR_PRODUCTS operation.

Source: https://docs.easyparser.com/real-time-integration/similar-products

The Similar Products operation (`SIMILAR_PRODUCTS`) returns the products Amazon associates with a given product in the same marketplace, together with basic data about the product itself. You send one `asin` and a marketplace `domain`, and choose how many similar products to request with `similar_limit` (`10`, `50` or `100`).

## When to use

- Map competitors: list the products closest to your listing and group them by `brand` and `title`.
- Research products: explore alternatives around a product to find gaps and sourcing ideas in the same `category`.
- Build a dataset around a niche: pass the returned ASINs to the [Detail](/real-time-integration/detail), [Offer](/real-time-integration/offer) or [Sales Analysis and History](/real-time-integration/sales-analysis-and-history) operations.
- Show recommendations: power "similar items" or comparison modules in your own tools with each item's `image.link` and `title`.
- Monitor your brand: check the `brand` of similar items to spot look-alike listings next to your products.

## What the response includes

- **Source product:** ASIN, title, brand, category path and main image of the requested product ([`result.product`](/real-time-integration/similar-products/response#resultproduct)).
- **Similar products:** a `similar` array inside `result.product`, where each item has the same compact shape: `asin`, `title`, `brand`, `category`, `image` ([`similar[]`](/real-time-integration/similar-products/response#similar)).

The response does not include prices, offers or ratings. See the [Response](/real-time-integration/similar-products/response) page for every field.
