# Store Item

{% hint style="info" %}
Store Item API supports full text store item search in particular retailer or user country.

This section is incomplete and currently a work in progress.
{% endhint %}

### Use-case request examples

#### Search a store item by name across retailers presented in the country defined in user preferences

No need to specify a retailer name in the request.

Avoidances, diets, preferred and disliked ingredients will be taken into account as soft filters.

The complete request model can be found in [swagger](https://api.whisk.com/spec/#/StoreItemAPI/StoreItemAPI_SearchStoreItems).

```
curl -X POST "https://api.whisk.com/storeitem/v2/search" -H  "accept: application/json" -H  "Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%" -H  "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "query": "Banana",
  "cursor": {
    "limit": 10
  }
}'
```

#### Discontinued availability

Whisk can distinguish between `discontinued` and `outOfStock` products if a grocer provides the relevant information. Currently it's supported for Korean retailers. If a product is marked as out of stock in a product feed, Whisk will consider it may return in the future. Whisk will not return out of stock products for search requests.

```
{
...
  "is_available": false,
  "discontinued": false,
...
}
```

If product a product is completely missing in a feed, it's considered to be discontinued e.g.

```
{
...
  "is_available": false,
  "discontinued": true,
...
}
```
