Every product card on this page is a snapshot of BuyWhere's live catalog. If you are building an agent, a price tracker, or just want to verify a listing, you can hit the same endpoint the page renders. No scraping, no proxies — one signed HTTP call and the JSON comes back. Three ways in:

1. REST — direct catalog search
No auth required for low-volume reads. Returns the same merchant metadata this page ranks on.
```
curl "https://api.buywhere.ai/v1/products/search?q=Smartphone&country_code=us&limit=6"
```
2. MCP — tool-callable from any agent
Connect once and your agent can call search_products, find_best_price, and get_deals directly.

3. Self-serve API key — one call, no dashboard
Higher rate limits and MCP access need a key. Register takes one POST; the free tier is enough for most prototypes.
```
curl -X POST "https://api.buywhere.ai/v1/auth/register?verify=false" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_name":"my-agent"}'
```
