# Target Search plugin

> Target product search as clean JSON - tcin, title, brand, price, formatted price, currency, image and a direct product link.

The **Target Search** plugin turns any Target search into structured JSON. Give it a keyword, and it returns the products Target shows - each with a `tcin`, title, brand, price and formatted price, currency, image and a clean product URL. Sort, filter by price and collect up to `max_results`.

It runs on the same fetch chain that serves `getPageSource`. target.com is an empty client-rendered shell, so the plugin reads the products straight from Target's own Redsky JSON API (`plp_search_v2`) - no Target developer account needed.

<Note>
  Try it in the dashboard first: [app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins](https://app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins). You get a live results view plus a copy-paste snippet.

  Any field with no value is omitted from a product, so each item carries only the fields Target's search returned (e.g. `brand` or `image` may be absent).

## What you can build

* **Price monitoring and repricing** - track `price` for a product over time.
* **Catalog and assortment research** - pull a whole category with brands.
* **Competitor tracking** - compare the same keyword against your own listings.
* **Availability and pricing feeds** - build a live Target price feed keyed by `tcin`.
