• sold_comps_batch

  Up to 25 sold_comps lookups in one call (100 on Pro+), each costing one API call.

Item-level and per-listing answers need Pro or Pro+; categories work on every plan. Amounts are in cents.

  Parameters:

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_sold_history

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Pro: free text, e.g. 2015 ford f150
  • item — string — Pro: tracked item slug, e.g. forklift
  • limit — integer — Default 25
