POST /api/usbif/products/search

Price: 20 credits

Search the USB-IF certified product list — devices, cables, connectors, silicon and chargers that passed USB-IF compliance testing. Filters by text, company, retail or development segment, listing status, speed, declared feature, total port wattage and certification date, newest certification first. Each product carries its TID, model, company, category paths, speeds, features, port wattage and certification time.

How to use it

Pass a returned `tid` to usbif/products for the device type, revision, supported USB specifications, power rails and cable length this list does not carry. Several `speeds` widen the match to any of them while several `features` must all be declared, so send one feature per call when either will do. About half of the products carry no `category`, so a `segment` filter drops them rather than classifying them.

Errors

• 422 — A date or wattage range is inverted, or a speed or feature is not in the catalogue Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — No certified product matched the filters Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
