# Search Slickdeals with real pagination, counts, and facets

`GET /slickdeals/search/advanced`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/slickdeals/search/advanced`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Searches Slickdeals' modern search surface -- a richer alternative to GET /slickdeals/search's keyword-only search. Returns real pagination (page/total_pages/per_page/result_count), integer vote/comment/view counts (not parsed from free text), a fuller per-deal record (store id, discount percent, status flags), and facets -- Categories, Stores, and Brands available for the current query, each option carrying a value usable as category_id/brand_id/store_id. Facet values and counts are scoped to the current query, not a site-wide enumeration -- category_id/brand_id/store_id are passthrough filters (obtain a value from a prior response's own facets), not validated against a closed enum. sort defaults to relevance; other values are passed through unvalidated.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, required
- `page` integer
- `sort` string
- `category_id` integer
- `brand_id` integer
- `store_id` integer

## Headers

- `x-api-key` string, required

## Response `200`

OK

- SlickdealsSearchAdvancedResponseDoc

      - `label` string
      - `options` SlickdealsSearchFacetOption[]
        - `count` integer
        - `label` string
        - `parent_value` string: ParentValue is set when this option is a subcategory of another option in the same group (Slickdeals' own Categories facet nests one level deep).
        - `value` string
    - `fetched_at` string
    - `page` integer
    - `per_page` integer
    - `query` string
    - `result_count` integer

      - `is_fire_deal` boolean: IsFireDeal and HasRebate are populated on Frontpage's own deal cards; GET /slickdeals/search/advanced's result cards were not observed carrying either field live, so they read as their zero value there.

      - `is_popular` boolean
      - `list_price` string
