## FAQ

### How do I use the Target Search API?

Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/target/search with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

### How much does the Target Search API cost?

$0.01 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

### What parameters does the Target Search API accept?

Required: q (string | number | boolean). Optional: page (string | number | boolean), sort (any), facet (string | number | boolean), spelling (any), store_id (string | number | boolean) and max_price (string | number | boolean) and 5 more. The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

### What does the Target Search API return?

A JSON result. This endpoint runs asynchronously, so the response tells you how to fetch the finished result.

### Do I need a Target developer account or API key?

No. Target Search runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Target API access separately.

## README

### Target Search

Search Target products by keyword with TCIN, brand, price, sale price, rating, reviews and pickup, delivery and shipping availability.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "target/search", "q": "wireless earbuds"}'
```

This API runs asynchronously. `/v1/run` returns a task `id` with status `pending`; poll `GET https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run/{id}` until `status` is `completed` and read the result from `outputs[0].data`.
