API query not returning expected results

  1. Do you have any idea why this call to the API:

    http://publisher.api.shopping.com/publisher/3.0/rest/GeneralSearch?apiKey=6465F12A-5F54-11DD-AA05-64D5252B6EF2&trackingId=8049965&keyword=star%20of%20david&categoryId=276&attributeValue=elite&numItems=24&numAttributes=25&numAttributesWithValues=25&numValuesPerAttribute=25 does not return any results?

    When I search shopping.com (for the same items) in the ‘jewelry’ category for ‘elite’ brand with keywords of ‘star of david’ I get results.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi Jonathan -

    The results on Shopping.com are all from a single merchant - Amazon - which has been excluded from your results due to the fact that this merchant generally pays a lower CPC. Please contact your account manager if you would like to include this merchant in your results.

    Additionally, there is a bug which has surfaced in this response, in which the API is reporting 1 matching category, but returning none. This has been reported to our engineering team.
