Usage notes
Section titled “Usage notes”The endpoint is public - no API key and no credits - and cached server-side, so it is safe to call on page load or poll on a schedule.
Typical uses
Section titled “Typical uses”- Building a country or retailer picker from live data instead of a hardcoded list.
- Deciding which
countryvalues to pass to search. - Monitoring catalogue growth and freshness across markets over time.
Freshness
Section titled “Freshness”last_updated_at is per retailer, not per country - retailers inside one
country can differ by hours. Treat the response as a freshness map: schedule
your own refresh jobs around it rather than assuming every market updates on
the same cadence.
Countries with no indexed data are omitted from the response entirely, so an
absent country_code means “no data yet”, not an empty retailer list.
