The Agora API enables developers to search, purchase, and track orders for 10 million products sold on 25,000 Shopify and WooCommerce stores. We provide a complete set of endpoints to power an end-to-end shopping experience in your app.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Param, founder of Agora.
Agora is an AI search engine for e-commerce products. We've indexed 10 million products sold on 25,000 Shopify and WooCommerce stores and made them easy to purchase with a single cart transaction. Think of a decentralized Amazon. We launched the search engine and merchant app on Product Hunt a few weeks ago and received incredible feedback and support from the community.
Today I’m excited to launch the Agora API, a complete set of endpoints to power an end-to-end shopping experience. The Agora API enables developers to search, purchase, and track orders for 10 million products sold on 25,000 Shopify and WooCommerce stores. You can search by text, image, URL, or location to find products that your users are looking for.
Why use the Agora API?
🔸 We save you time from having to index millions of products across thousands of stores.
🔸 We take care of payment routing to stores with AI agents and provide you with detailed order tracking.
🔸 We refresh the entire dataset every 24 hours to keep variant and stock information up to date.
The Agora API is free to test. After that, we charge a subscription fee of $2,490 / month for up to 10,000 monthly search requests or $4,490 / month for unlimited monthly search requests. After you subscribe, we send you an automated email with your provisioned API key and onboarding information.
We provide documentation and 24 / 7 support to all developers at [email protected]. This includes helping with an order, issuing refunds, and exchanging products.
What are use-cases for the Agora API?
🔹 AI training data
🔹 Marketplaces
🔹 Shopping assistants
🔹 Live shopping experiences
🔹 Search & discovery tools
🔹 Wallets
🔹 Vertical SaaS
I originally launched Agora as a side project on HackerNews to find a pair of red shoes for my wife last Christmas. I quickly realized that some of the best products on the internet are sold by small online stores that struggle to get the same visibility as large retailers. I started Agora on a mission to democratize online commerce. If you sell the best pair of red shoes in the world, customers should be able to find it. With the Agora API, we're able to amplify this mission to other apps as well.
We're starting with Shopify and WooCommerce stores and will soon have products from other e-commerce platforms and marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, Temu, Squarespace, Wix, and more.
I'd love your feedback!
This is a cool idea, Param!
How well does it handle shipping cost/unavailability?
Each store charges different shipping rates and a lot of stores don’t even ship to specific markets (countries).
it'd be awesome to have webhooks for price changes and back-in-stock notifications. Feels like that could add huge value for price comparison tools
Being able to access and interact with products across so many Shopify and WooCommerce stores through a single API is such a clever concept! I can totally see this being perfect for building shopping apps or even creative tools like price comparison platforms. The order tracking feature is just the icing on the cake—so convenient!
I love APIs, why reinvent the wheel when there is something like this that is so innovative and powerful already for e-commerce search and transactions. Shopify and Woocommerce combined into one solution is one of thje best featutres of Agora and now developers can build their own custom experiences.
Thanks Agora for sharing the fun.
Agora API is a game-changer for anyone building e-commerce experiences! As a digital marketing and social media expert, I know how valuable it is to have seamless access to product data, and Agora makes it effortless. With the ability to search, purchase, and track orders from 10M+ Shopify and WooCommerce products, this API opens up endless possibilities for developers and businesses. Super impressed with how easy it is to integrate. Definitely worth checking out!
Hey @param_jaggi3, love the API! How does Agora handle commissions if a marketplace wants to earn a % of sales from products listed through the API? Is this in your roadmap?
I recommend the Agora API to all developers working with Shopify and WooCommerce! It is a powerful tool that allows you to not only search and buy products, but also track orders from 25,000 stores.
@param_jaggi3 This is such a helpful API while working with agents in e-commerce space!
Always appreciate any solution that helps people find and buy products faster. Congratulations on the launch @alessandro_colombo , @param_jaggi3 and Team Agora!
@param_jaggi This is an exciting concept! With so many Shopify and WooCommerce stores indexed, how does Agora handle product availability and price fluctuations in real-time? Do sellers have any control over how their products appear in search results?
Making it easier to search, buy, and track products across stores sounds amazing. Excited to see how it helps developers build better shopping experiences! 🎉
for marketplaces using your api, who owns the customer relationship? and what kind of analytics do you provide on user behavior across stores?
This is a great solution for developers. The 99.9% uptime guarantee and API reliability stand out as key selling points for serious projects.
