🤖 Using an AI assistant? Copy this link into ChatGPT / Claude / Cursor — it reads every endpoint and parameter instantly and tells you if this API fits your use case.

The primary search endpoint returns products with name, brand, price, condition, availability, rating, review count, image and URL, and you can browse, pull a product, deals, new_arrivals, brands, categories, filters and reviews. It is built for price intelligence, catalog enrichment and German e-commerce analytics that need Otto data without a scraper. One ReefAPI key, one shared credit pool, the standard envelope.
