Who is the Direct API for?
If your stack doesn't fit a pre-built connector, the API is your path.
Custom or legacy platforms
Your store runs on a proprietary stack or a platform without native connectors. Upload your catalog via CSV/JSON and connect your frontend in hours.
Headless Commerce
Decoupled architectures where frontend and backend are independent. The API delivers results in pure JSON that your frontend consumes however it wants.
Specific or high-volume integrations
Projects with search needs beyond traditional e-commerce — technical catalogs, B2B platforms, internal search engines, or AI projects consuming results directly.
Two endpoints. Everything you need.
The SearchMind API exposes semantic search and conversational chat from the same system.
/v2/search — Semantic Search
Semantic search with Hybrid Retrieval. Returns products ranked by relevance, facets for filtering, and typo correction included. A single call with your API Key.
curl 'https://api.searchmindai.com/v2/search' \
-H 'API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"query": "lightweight running shoes women",
"limit": 10,
"facets": true
}'Response includes ranked products, available facets, and relevance score per result.
From catalog to search in 3 steps
Upload your catalog
Upload your products in JSON or CSV format with the fields you already have: name, description, price, SKU, category. SearchMind indexes the catalog and prepares it for semantic search.
Configure your experience
From the admin panel you define facets, filters, relevance weights, language, and chat behavior. No additional code needed.
Connect your frontend
Call /v2/search or /v2/chat from your frontend with your API Key. Receive JSON. Render it however you want. Full documentation at api.searchmindai.com.
