The power of the WB Custom Scraping API stands in its parameter. Learn how to use them and you will master E-commerce scraping in little to no time.

In order to customise the response from the WB Custom API, you have to pass certain query parameters and payload to your request. As we discussed in the Getting Started section, the WB Custom API supports multiple search types. Because each type has its own particularities, the WB Custom API has two sets of parameters:

  • General parameters, applicable to any of the search engines

  • Search type specific parameters, applicable to specific search engines

We will cover the General parameters here and present the specific ones in the sections dedicated to each search engine.
