Slickdeals API endpoint

Slickdeals Search Advanced API

Searches Slickdeals' modern search surface -- a richer alternative to GET /slickdeals/search's keyword-only search. Returns real pagination (page/total_pages/per_page/result_count), integer vote/comment/view counts (not parsed from free text), a fuller per-deal record (store id, discount percent, status flags), and facets -- Categories, Stores, and Brands available for the current query, each option carrying a value usable as category_id/brand_id/store_id. Facet values and counts are scoped to the current query, not a site-wide enumeration -- category_id/brand_id/store_id are passthrough filters (obtain a value from a prior response's own facets), not validated against a closed enum. sort defaults to relevance; other values are passed through unvalidated.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

q (required) — free-text keyword query, e.g. laptop.
page (optional) — 1-based result page, default 1.
sort (optional) — sort order, default relevance. Only relevance has been confirmed live; other values are passed through unvalidated since no server-side enumeration of the full accepted set was found.
category_id (optional) — a category facet id, e.g. 9. Obtain a value from a prior response's own facets — this is a passthrough filter, not a validated closed enum, since facet values and counts are scoped to the current query, not a site-wide enumeration.
brand_id (optional) — a brand facet id, same passthrough contract as category_id.
store_id (optional) — a store facet id, e.g. 482 (eBay), same passthrough contract as category_id.

Response includes query, page, total_pages, per_page, result_count, results[], facets[], source_url, and fetched_at.

Each result has:

thread_id, title, url — the deal's canonical identity.
image_url (optional) — the deal's thumbnail image.
list_price, final_price, discount (optional) — price and discount percent.
store_id, store (optional) — the merchant.
vote_score, comment_count, views_count — community engagement counts, as integers.
forum_id (optional) — Slickdeals' own legacy sub-forum id.
found_by (optional) — the public Slickdeals username who posted the deal.
posted_at (optional) — when the deal was posted.
is_frontpage, is_popular, is_new, is_expired — status flags Slickdeals attaches to the deal.
is_fire_deal, has_rebate — additional status flags populated on GET /slickdeals/frontpage's own result cards; not observed carrying true on this endpoint's own /search cards, so they read as false here.

Each facet group has label (e.g. Categories, Stores, Brands) and options[], each with label, value (usable as category_id/brand_id/store_id), count, and parent_value (set when an option is a subcategory of another option in the same group — Slickdeals' own Categories facet nests one level deep, e.g. Computers → Laptops).
