Walmart search search.

Job id `search.walmart-search`, in [E-commerce](/catalog/ecommerce) (Search engines). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:search.walmart-search` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool's fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `category_id` | string | no |   |
| `engine` | string | no | Fixed to "walmart_search" for this endpoint. Example: "walmart_search" |
| `filters` | string | no |   |
| `page` | integer | no |   |
| `price_max` | number | no |   |
| `price_min` | number | no |   |
| `q` | string | yes |   |
| `sort_by` | string | no |   |
| `store_id` | string | no |   |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [SearchAPI.io](/providers/searchapi-io) | [`searchapi-io-walmart-search`](/reference/tools/searchapi-io-walmart-search) | $0.004 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, checked against 1 real answer:

```txt
{ filters: { name, type, values: { id, name, type }[], max_value, min_value }[], pagination: { next, current, other_pages: Record<string, string> }, trending_items: { id, flag, link, price, title, badges: { key, text, group_name }[], rating, reviews, position, variants: { id, link, title, thumbnail, product_id, swatch_thumbnail }[], condition, seller_id, thumbnail, product_id, description, fulfillment: { delivery: { ... } }, is_preowned, price_range: { to, from, text, extracted_to_price, extracted_from_price }, seller_name, original_price, extracted_price, extracted_original_price }[], organic... ...
```

The shape is cut here. Signed in, `looot inspect searchapi-io-walmart-search` prints all of it.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:search.walmart-search","input":{"q":"<q>","engine":"walmart_search"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:search.walmart-search",
    input: {
      q: "<q>",
      engine: "walmart_search",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:search.walmart-search",
        "input": {
            "q": "<q>",
            "engine": "walmart_search",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:search.walmart-search`.
