Hi, To retrieve product specifications given a product title, the most efficient solution found so far, is to perform 2 SDC API calls: * First step is to retrieve product ID proceeding to a search. * Second step is to make a specific call to retrieve product details. Is this something improved in API version 3? Can API called only once to retrieve product specifications?

Hi soqueta - This has indeed been improved in API v3. You can now simply ask for specifications to be included for any products returned by adding the 'showProductSpecs=true' parameter (see http://developer.shopping.com/docs/API_Use_Cases#8). --ryan
