🐛 Troubleshooting

No products returned for a keyword

• Try a broader term (e.g. brake pads instead of a very specific phrase)
• Or use a category id from the category page URL

Detail mode shows no store stock

• Set a valid storeId; the default reflects a representative US store
• Some parts are ship-only and may not stock locally

Run hits the result cap quickly

• FREE tier is capped at 25 products — upgrade to PAID for unlimited results
