## README

### TikTok Shop Search Suggestions API

Get TikTok Shop search autocomplete terms for a keyword: the long-tail queries shoppers actually type, for keyword and demand research.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/tiktok-shop/search-suggestions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "ashwagandha gummies", "country": "US"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | Yes | Seed keyword to expand (e.g. ashwagandha gummies). |
| `country` | string | No | Two-letter country code of the TikTok Shop market (e.g. US). Default `"US"`. |
| `language` | string | No | Language tag for the suggestions (e.g. en-US). Default `"en-US"`. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00095 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
