slickdeals_search
Search Slickdeals community deals by keyword to retrieve deal threads with title, price, merchant, votes, and post details. Narrow results by forum or deal type.
Instructions
Search Slickdeals community-submitted deals by keyword. Searches Slickdeals (slickdeals.net), a community deal/coupon aggregator, for deal threads matching a free-text keyword query. Each result is one community-submitted deal thread with its title (which conventionally embeds the deal price), a best-effort price extracted from that title, the merchant domain, the community vote ("thumb") score, the public Slickdeals username who posted it, and when it was posted. Pair a result's thread_id or url with GET /slickdeals/deal for the full detail record, including comment count and category. An optional forum_id restricts results to one Slickdeals legacy sub-forum (e.g. Hot Deals, Coupons) -- obtain a value from GET /slickdeals/forums, a closed enum validated before the request is made. An optional deal_type_id restricts results to one Slickdeals deal-type tag (e.g. Coupon, Free / Freebie, YMMV) -- obtain a value from GET /slickdeals/deal-types, also a closed enum validated before the request is made; composes with forum_id.
