Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

When to Use

  • User wants to find a product on Amazon

<summary>curl equivalent</summary>

curl -X POST "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"amazon_search","q":"wireless earbuds"}}'

</details>

Search with Category

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"amazon_search","q":"laptop","category_id":"electronics"}}'

Parameters

  • engine (required) - Must be amazon_search
  • q (required) - Search query
  • category_id - Amazon category (electronics, books, etc.)
  • page - Page number for pagination

Response

Top-level keys: search_metadata, search_parameters, search_information, organic_results, filters, pagination.

Each item in organic_results array:

  • position (integer) - Result rank
  • asin (string) - Amazon product ID
  • title (string) - Product name
  • link (string) - Product page URL
  • image (string) - Product thumbnail URL
  • price (string) - Display price (e.g., "$69.99")
  • extracted_price (number) - Numeric price for comparison
  • original_price / extracted_original_price - Pre-discount price (if on sale)
  • currency (string) - Currency code (e.g., "USD")
  • rating (number) - Star rating (0-5)
  • reviews (integer) - Number of reviews
  • is_prime (boolean) - Prime eligible
  • is_best_seller / is_amazon_choice (boolean) - Badge flags
  • delivery (string) - Delivery estimate text

Pagination: Use page=2, page=3, etc. for more results.

Examples

User: "Find wireless earbuds on Amazon"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"amazon_search","q":"wireless earbuds"}}'

User: "Search for laptops under $500"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"amazon_search","q":"laptop under 500"}}'

User: "Find highly rated coffee makers"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"amazon_search","q":"coffee maker best rated"}}'

Error Handling

  • 400 - Invalid engine name or missing q parameter
  • 401 - Invalid API key
  • 429 - Rate limit — wait and retry
  • Empty organic_results array means no products matched the query — try broader search terms
  • Use separate -q flags if & in query string causes issues: -q 'engine=amazon_search' -q 'q=wireless earbuds'

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take gooseworks-ai/amazon-search from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
