Jiji category filters
Every filter of a category as the site's search shows it: key (use it in /jiji/v1/search filters or ranges), label, type, unit, range bounds and presets with counts, and the possible values with listing counts (e.g. every car make). Pass filters to get dependent values (e.g. the models of one make).
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Part of the Jiji API: 15 endpoints with prices, use cases and example responses.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
categoryrequired | string | A category slug from /jiji/v1/categories. Example: cars |
filters | string | Already chosen values as key:value;key2:value (e.g. filter_attr_1_make:Toyota to get its models). |
region_id | string | A region id from /jiji/v1/regions to count values in one region. |
country | ng | ke | gh | ug | tz | et | Country site: ng (default), ke, gh, ug, tz or et. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/filters?category=cars" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/filters",
params={"category": "cars"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/filters");
url.searchParams.set("category", "cars");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
Example response (real call, trimmed: lists cut to 2 items, long text shortened, raw left out)
