The Problem
Each platform has its own quirks. Google returns organic results alongside AI Overviews, Shopping, and Knowledge Graph. Amazon returns sponsored slots, organic listings, and brand stores. YouTube mixes videos, channels, and playlists. Walmart returns its own mix of sponsored and organic products. If you integrate them directly, you end up with four different authentication flows, four different pagination models, four different response schemas, and four different failure modes. Keeping all of this synchronized as platforms evolve is a full-time job that no single engineer signed up for.
The Scavio Solution
Scavio normalizes all four platforms behind a single endpoint. You pass a platform parameter, you get back a predictable envelope with consistent field names. Titles are titles, links are links, positions are positions, prices are always numbers with a currency. Platform-specific extras live under a clearly named key so you can opt in without changing the core plumbing. Your application layer stops caring which platform is being queried and starts focusing on what to do with the results.
Before
Before Scavio, a cross-platform feature meant four clients, four parsers, four sets of tests, and four edge-case backlogs. Adding a new platform was a quarter of engineering work.
After
After Scavio, a cross-platform feature is a for-loop over platform names. Adding a new platform is changing an array literal. The feature ships in a morning.
Who It Is For
Full-stack developers and platform teams building shopping assistants, research tools, or cross-channel analytics. Anyone tired of gluing together four vendor SDKs to answer one user question.
Key Benefits
- Single authentication, single base URL, single SDK surface
- Normalized response shape across all four supported platforms
- Predictable error codes and rate limits regardless of platform
- Opt-in platform-specific fields keep the common path clean
- New platforms land without touching your core application code
Python Example
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
URL = "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search"
def multi_search(query: str, platforms: list[str]):
results = {}
for platform in platforms:
r = requests.post(
URL,
headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
json={"platform": platform, "query": query},
timeout=10,
)
results[platform] = r.json()
return results
data = multi_search("wireless earbuds", ["google", "amazon", "youtube", "walmart"])
for platform, payload in data.items():
print(platform, len(payload.get("organic", [])))JavaScript Example
const API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key";
const URL = "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search";
async function multiSearch(query, platforms) {
const calls = platforms.map((platform) =>
fetch(URL, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "x-api-key": API_KEY, "content-type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ platform, query }),
}).then((r) => r.json().then((d) => [platform, d])),
);
return Object.fromEntries(await Promise.all(calls));
}
const data = await multiSearch("wireless earbuds", ["google", "amazon", "youtube", "walmart"]);
for (const [p, payload] of Object.entries(data)) {
console.log(p, (payload.organic ?? []).length);
