About E-Commerce API

The E-commerce Product Search and Price Comparison project is a web-based application that allows users to search for products across different online retailers, compare prices, and find the best deals. The application leverages an E-commerce API, which provides access to product information and pricing from various e-commerce platforms. The primary goal of this project is to help users make informed purchasing decisions by presenting them with a comprehensive view of product options and prices from multiple sources.

• Time-Saving:Price comparison APIs save consumers time by providing a centralized platform where they can quickly view and compare prices without visiting multiple websites individually.
• Cost Savings:Customers can identify the most cost-effective options, potentially saving money on their purchases. This fosters a competitive market where retailers strive to offer competitive prices to attract more customers.
