# Product research

Availability: Planned API.
Last reviewed: 2026-08-28.

Research a product's attributes, positioning and observed offers without silently changing your business-owned catalog.

## Ask a product question

Provide product/family/variant references where known, relevant pages or documents, seller context and the comparison you need. Distinguish a product identity from a page, a variant from an offer, and list price from a time-bound promotion.

Do not invent currency, availability or dimensions when the source omits them.

## Produce a cited artifact

Save normalized observations with source time, unit/context, conflicts and explicit unknowns. Link media evidence separately from rights-cleared or approved assets. Suggested catalog changes should name the target revision and the evidence behind the change.

For example, two seller pages may disagree about a material or package quantity. The report should preserve both observations rather than selecting a fact without explanation.

## Review and promote

Accepted business facts belong in the [catalog workflow](/docs/guides/catalogs). Research results and proposed edits remain separate until an authorized review. Page completion does not prove every variant or image was captured.

## Availability

This specialist business API is planned. Imported evidence is not a universal accuracy guarantee, a supplier endorsement or permission to republish its text and media.
