May 2026: Update

New
Today, we're thrilled to update you on some of the newest enhancements and give you a sneak peek into what’s coming next.

​Amazon Categories API​

The ​Amazon Categories API​ returns Amazon’s category hierarchy (browse nodes) as structured, queryable data. It includes:

  • Three Query Modes - List all root categories (default), look up a single category by category_id (returns the category, its parent context, and direct children), or search by name with search_term (up to 100 results).
  • Seven Category Types - The category_type parameter covers standard (the browse nodes used by product search), deals, bestsellers, new_releases, movers_and_shakers, most_wished_for, and most_gifted.
  • Multi-Domain - Root categories across seven Amazon marketplaces (US, UK, DE, ES, FR, IN, IT).
  • Search Integration - ​Amazon Search now accepts a category_id​parameter for category-scoped product queries.

​BestBuy Product API​

The ​BestBuy Product API​ returns full structured detail for a single BestBuy product, fetched by SKU via product_id. It includes:

  • Product Data - Core fields such as title, sku, model_number, manufacturer, description, rating, reviews, and a complete image gallery.
  • Pricing - The price object plus member_savings, installment plans, finance_option, and open-box pricing tiers.
  • Specifications - A structured specifications list and product dimensions.
  • Variants & Seller - Product variants (color, capacity) and marketplace seller and condition data.
  • Reviews - A customer rating breakdown plus syndicated_reviews.

We kept keys exactly the same as in the BestBuy Search API for easier migration.

​Airbnb Experience Details API​

The ​Airbnb Experience Details API​ returns the full record for a single Airbnb Experience, fetched by experience_id. It includes:

  • Experience Data - title, description, link, rating, review_count, highlights, and media (image and video).
  • Agenda & Host - A structured agenda plus host identity and details.
  • Pricing - Localized price labels with extracted_price.
  • Availability & Reviews - Upcoming availability and individual reviews for the experience.
  • Logistics - location, accessibility features, guest requirements, and cancellation policy.
  • Similar Experiences - A similar_experiences array for discovery.

​Airbnb Property Availability Calendar API​

The ​Airbnb Property Availability Calendar API​ returns up to 12 months of day-by-day availability for a single Airbnb listing, fetched by property_id. It includes:

  • Availability Calendar - Per-day entries with availability status, check-in and check-out eligibility, and minimum/maximum-night constraints.
  • Date Range Control - start_month, start_year, and months (1-12, default 12) control the window returned.
  • Localization - Works across international Airbnb domains via airbnb_domain.

​Google Scholar Case Law API​

The ​Google Scholar Case Law API​ returns the full text of a US federal or state court opinion indexed by Google Scholar, fetched by caselaw_id. It includes:

  • Case Information - case_information, short_citations, dates, and docket_numbers.
  • Full Opinion - The cleaned full_text of the opinion, with footnotes separated out from the body.
  • Cited Cases - A cited_cases list grouped by case_id, preserving each textual citation variation.
  • Chaining - The parent google_scholar engine now returns caselaw_id on organic_results in case-law mode, so you can chain google_scholar into google_scholar_case_law.

​MCP Tool Bundles​


We added 13 travel & maps tools to our MCP integration, covering Google Maps (Directions, Reviews, Photos, Local, Place), Google Hotels, Google Travel Explore, TripAdvisor, and Airbnb Property Reviews. Designed so AI agents can pipeline calls across them without parameter drift.

Google Product Changes

Recent Google Shopping changes affect how products are fetched, so we've updated our three product engines. Here's what changed and how to migrate:

  • The product_id and prds parameters have been removed due to the latest Google Shopping changes
  • A product_token minted by the Google Shopping API (reuse the one returned in each shopping_results entry) is now required
  • Use the Google Product Page API for product_id, prds, and older product_token formats
  • Same as Google Product, product_id and prds are removed, and a product_token from the Google Shopping API (reuse shopping_results[].product_token) is now required
  • The Google Product Page API remains backward-compatible
  • The backward-compatible option for products. It still accepts product_id, prds, and older product_token formats
  • Calling it with a product_id now returns a product.product_token you can pass to google_product_offers for paginated offers
  • Added delivery_price and extracted_delivery_price to each offer
