will only return items that have higher price than 10

array, located in our JSON output (e.g. categories[1].id
).
You can search using category_id parameter without specifying _nkw parameter.
_stpos
Optional
Parameter defines the ZIP or Postal code. You can use it to filter the shipping products by a selected area.
LH_ItemCondition
Optional
Parameter defines one or multiple product conditions to limit the search to. Condition is represented via numeric ID, e.g. 1000

. Multiple IDs should be joined with |
delimeter, e.g. 1000|3000
. List of supported IDs can be found on eBay documentation page. There is also undocumented ID 10

Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Ebay results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false
(default) to allow results from the cache, or true
to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false
(default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true
to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for organic results and more.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status
. It flows this way: Processing
-> Success
|| Error
. If a search has failed, error
will contain an error message. search_metadata.id
is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
HTML output is useful to debug JSON results or support features not supported yet by SerpApi.
HTML output gives you the raw HTML results from Ebay.
