When to use BuyWhere Product Catalog

Choose if

You're building a shopping agent that needs to search and price-compare consumer products across Southeast Asia (Shopee, Lazada, Tokopedia) and the US (Amazon, Walmart, Target) from a single MCP. The BM25-ranked search and structured deals feed save you from writing 40 retailer scrapers. The free tier (60 req/min) is enough for development; the live tier covers production.

Avoid if

You need EU, LATAM, or Brazilian retailer coverage (not the catalog's focus), or you need real-time inventory + checkout-grade pricing (this is catalog data, refresh cadence not specified per-retailer). Also avoid if your agent only needs Amazon — go direct to Amazon SP-API or a specialized Amazon MCP. Licence is proprietary; do not assume self-host rights from the GitHub presence.

Risk Flags

  • MEDIUM rate_limit Free tier capped at 60 req/min; Live tier at 600 req/min; returns 429 on exceed (use exponential backoff). Production agents should budget for paid keys.
  • LOW scope Catalog skewed to Southeast Asia + US retailers. EU and LATAM coverage thin. Confirm region coverage before relying on it for a non-SEA/US shopping workflow.
