Workflow

Step 1 — Identify the Research Objective and Select Nodes

Clarify the user's goal and identify the appropriate entry point and supporting nodes.

Common entry points:

• User provides a product share link → Start with get_product_id_from_share_link to resolve product_id.
• User provides a product name or keyword → Use product_list_analytics to discover matching products.
• User asks about a category → Resolve the full category hierarchy first (see Step 1a below).
• User provides a shop name or ID → Use shop_list_analytics or shop_detail_analytics.
• Competitive market analysis → Combine product_ranking_analytics + shop_ranking_analytics + category filters.

Step 1a — Resolve Category IDs

⚠️ When the user asks about a product category or wants to filter by category, always resolve the full category hierarchy first:

1. Call primary_categories_analytics → obtain category_id (L1)
2. Call secondary_categories_analytics with category_id → obtain category_l2_id (L2)
3. Call tertiary_categories_analytics with category_l2_id → obtain category_l3_id (L3)

Use the appropriate level of category ID as a filter in subsequent product or shop queries.

Step 2 — Retrieve API Schema

Before calling any node, inspect its input schema to confirm required parameters and valid values:

bash

node scripts/run.js --schema <tool_name>

# Examples
node scripts/run.js --schema product_list_analytics
node scripts/run.js --schema get_product_id_from_share_link

For analytics nodes, pay particular attention to filter parameters such as category_id, category_l2_id, category_l3_id, region, min_spu_avg_price, max_spu_avg_price, product_sort_field, sort_type, and page_num/page_size.

Step 3 — Call APIs and Cache Results Locally

Execute the required tool calls and persist all responses to the local cache.

Calling a tool (using scripts/run.js):

bash

# Single page call — result is cached automatically
node scripts/run.js --tool <tool_name> --params '<json_args>' --pretty

# Fetch all pages at once (auto-pagination)
node scripts/run.js --tool <tool_name> --params '<json_args>' --all-pages --page-size 50

# Force a fresh call, skip cache
node scripts/run.js --tool <tool_name> --params '<json_args>' --no-cache

Example — resolve product_id from share link:

bash

node scripts/run.js --tool get_product_id_from_share_link \
  --params '{"share_url":"https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPH7PbVhQDwt7-vS8eu/"}' --pretty

Example — get product analytics (all pages):

bash

node scripts/run.js --tool product_list_analytics \
  --params '{"region":"US","category_id":"600001"}' \
  --all-pages

Pagination for analytics endpoints:

All *_analytics endpoints use page_num (1-indexed) and page_size (max 10). run.js injects these automatically if not specified. Use --all-pages to iterate all pages automatically.

text

--page-num 1  --page-size 10   → first page (default)
--all-pages                    → all pages merged into one result

Cache directory structure:

text

.keyapi-cache/
├── products/
│   └── {product_id}/
│       ├── detail.json              # get_product_detail / product_detail_analytics

└── rankings/

    └── shops_{params_hash}.json      # shop_ranking_analytics

Cache-first policy:

Before every API call, check whether a cached result already exists for the given entity and node. If a valid cache file exists, load from disk and skip the API call. Category data is especially stable and should be aggressively cached.

Cover image processing:

After each API call, scan all response image URLs. If any URL's host matches echosell-images.tos-ap-southeast-1.volces.com, collect those URLs and call batch_download_cover_images in a single batch request. Replace the original URLs in your working dataset with the converted URLs returned by this node.

Step 4 — Synthesize and Report Findings

After collecting all API responses, produce a structured market intelligence report tailored to the user's objective:

For product analysis:

1. Product Overview — Title, price range, seller info, category path (L1 → L2 → L3), rating.
2. Sales Performance — Historical sales volume, GMV trend, growth rate, seasonality patterns.
3. Customer Sentiment — Review volume, rating distribution, key positive/negative themes from reviews.
4. Creator & Content Attribution — Top creators promoting the product, video and live-stream conversion rates.
5. Competitive Position — Ranking within category, price positioning vs. competing products.

For shop analysis:

1. Shop Profile — Shop name, category focus, total products, seller tier.
2. Revenue Intelligence — GMV history, monthly sales trend, growth trajectory.
3. Product Portfolio — Top-performing products, category distribution, price range strategy.
4. Creator Ecosystem — Associated creators, their individual GMV contributions, collaboration patterns.
5. Market Position — Category ranking, competitive comparison.

For category/market analysis:

1. Category Landscape — Category hierarchy, total market size estimate, top sub-categories.
2. Top Products & Shops — Ranking leaders, their metrics, and differentiation factors.
3. Trend Analysis — Rising vs. declining sub-categories, emerging product types.
4. Opportunity Signals — Underserved niches, high-growth segments, pricing white spaces.

Common Rules

Rule	Detail
Pagination	All *_analytics endpoints use page_num (starts at 1) and page_size. Never use page 0.
Cover images	Batch-convert all image URLs from echosell-images.tos-ap-southeast-1.volces.com via batch_download_cover_images before storing or displaying.
Success check	code = 0 → success. Any other value → failure. Always check the response code before processing data.
Retry on 500	If code = 500, retry the identical request once after a brief pause before reporting the error.
Cache first	Always check the local .keyapi-cache/ directory before issuing a live API call. Category data is especially cacheable.
Category resolution	When filtering by category, always resolve the full hierarchy (L1 → L2 → L3) using the category analytics nodes before applying category filters.
Product ID from link	When the user provides a product share URL, always call get_product_id_from_share_link first to extract the product_id.

Error Handling

Code	Meaning	Action
0	Success	Continue workflow normally
400	Bad request — invalid or missing parameters	Validate input against the tool schema; check category IDs and product IDs are correct
401	Unauthorized — token missing or expired	Confirm KEYAPI_TOKEN is set correctly; visit keyapi.ai to renew
403	Forbidden — plan quota exceeded or feature restricted	Review plan limits at keyapi.ai
404	Resource not found — product or shop not indexed	Verify IDs are correct; try a search-based node to locate the resource
429	Rate limit exceeded	Wait 60 seconds, then retry
500	Internal server error	Retry once after 2–3 seconds; if it persists, log the full request and response and skip this node
Other non-0	Unexpected error	Log the full response body and surface the error message to the user
