Parameter used to sort the query results in a top to bottom style or vice-versa. Available options: ASC and DESC.
category_attr_values
Optional
Gender and Age Range filters on Yahoo! Shopping Search separated by comma (,). (e.g. gender_female,age_adult is 'female' and 'adult', etc.). Can be obtained from filters.gender and filters.age-range in API response.

Pagination
start
Optional
Parameter defines the result offset. It skips the given number of results. It's used for pagination. (e.g., 1 (default) is the first page of results, 60 is the 2nd page of results, 120 is the 3rd page of results, etc.).
limit
Optional
Parameter defines the maximum number of results to return. (e.g., 10 (default) returns 10 results, 40 returns 40 results, and 100 returns 100 results).
page
Optional
The page parameter does the start parameter math for you! Just define the page number you want. Pagination starts from 1.
Serpapi Parameters
engine
Required
Set parameter to yahoo_shopping to use the Yahoo! shopping API engine.
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Yahoo! Shopping 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_key
Required
Parameter defines the SerpApi private key to use.
output
Optional
Parameter defines the final output you want. It can be set to json (default) to get a structured JSON of the results, or html to get the raw html retrieved.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for results.
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 Yahoo! Shopping.
