Choose a concrete product phrase and market, then submit one asynchronous search request.

- POST the request to /v1/tiktok-shop/search and save the returned task_id.

# Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id}
# Read data.results.items and follow next_cursor while has_more is trueBest Use Cases
- Regional product discovery: Map public products matching a category, need, brand, or product phrase in a selected market.
- Price and discount comparison: Compare available sale price, original price, currency, and discount fields across returned products.
- Reputation and demand comparison: Compare exposed ratings, review counts, and sold counts without converting missing metrics into zero.
- Product and shop shortlisting: Use product links, seller identity, images, categories, and SKU context to select candidates for deeper review.
Pro Tips
- Always store query and region together because the same phrase can resolve to different public catalogs.
- Set results_limit to the volume you need and follow next_cursor until has_more is false to read the complete task result.
- Treat a missing price, rating, review count, or sold count as unavailable rather than zero.
- Retain search_query and collected_at with every record so regional snapshots remain reproducible.
- Pass a selected PDP URL to the TikTok Shop Product API when you need a fresh detail-level enrichment.
