Example request

Terminal window
curl --get "https://realtime.easyparser.com/v1/request" \
--data-urlencode "api_key=YOUR_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "platform=AMZ" \
--data-urlencode "operation=SIMILAR_PRODUCTS" \
--data-urlencode "domain=.com" \
--data-urlencode "asin=B0CJB6V2L5" \
--data-urlencode "similar_limit=10"

Notes

  • similar_limit is an upper bound. The number of items returned depends on what Amazon lists for the ASIN, so a response can contain fewer items, or an empty similar array.
  • An unknown ASIN is still charged 1 credit, unlike other failed requests. Check that the ASIN exists in the requested domain before you send large batches.
  • To fetch similar products for many ASINs in one job, use the Bulk API with the asins payload key.
