Retail Market Research Data

Pricing as a leading indicator of what a category is about to do.

Discount depth and stockout frequency move before reported revenue does. They are observable weekly, in public, for every seller that lists online.

Market research

Three series that lead

How deeply a seller is discounting, how often it is out of stock, and how quickly its assortment is turning over. Each is computable from an append-only record without asking the seller anything.

Market research

The series, however you want to read it

Take the export and model it yourself, or have the dashboard framed around your questions rather than someone else’s. What matters is that the underlying series comes with it — a view you cannot get behind is a set of decisions already made on your behalf.

Endpoints that do this

Where it lands in the API.

GET /v1/exports

Bulk export

The whole index, or your slice of it, as newline-delimited JSON or Parquet. Analysts should not paginate through an API to build a model.

GET /v1/products/{id}/history

History

The observation series. Append-only — nothing is ever updated, so a replay reconstructs exactly what you were told and when.

→ reference
GET /v1/sellers

Seller directory

Every seller in the index, with how it is accessed, refresh cadence, identity strength and coverage. Coverage you can audit rather than take on faith.

Questions

Common questions.

How far back does history go?

History begins when collection begins for a given listing — it cannot be backfilled, which is precisely why it is the durable asset. Coverage age is reported per seller.
