Prices are in USD. A call is one endpoint execution (a Run). A task may use several calls.
“Catalog rate” is the listed call price; usage-based totals depend on inputs and options. “Up to” is the maximum total charge for that call. Result and token rates use their stated units.
Open an endpoint for its pricing rules, including charges for no match or errors.
$50 minimum top-up. $1 trial credit for new accounts. Paid top-ups start at $50; this funds API usage rather than a monthly subscription.

Google Shopping API questions, answered.
Is this Google Merchant API or Content API for Shopping?
These operations read product and merchant data from supported providers. Managing your own Merchant Center products, inventory or campaigns uses Google’s merchant services and their own authentication.
Can I use this as a Google Shopping scraper API?
The listed search and product operations retrieve structured Shopping data through the named providers. Choose the operation by query or product ID, then inspect its supported fields and limits.
Does the API automatically match products or reprice inventory?
Your workflow must decide which offers represent the same product and how to use the returned prices. These data operations do not implement automatic product matching or inventory repricing.
Are the prices comparable across countries?
A meaningful comparison needs the same market, currency and product variant. Check the returned offer and seller details; shipping and tax treatment can differ between listings.
