About
- Channel3 API is a developer interface to a normalized product catalog of 100M+ products from 25,000+ brands, letting AI agents and apps search, recommend, look up, and link to products for purchase.

- Checkout is not yet available; the site lists it as coming soon.
What it helps with
- Product data is fragmented across retailers and inconsistent in specifications, so agents get unstructured web results i
- Scraping retailer sites is fragile and expensive to maintain, and data changes constantly
- The same product appears differently across retailers, making comparison and recommendation unreliable
- Monetizing agent shopping requires joining many affiliate networks and handling tracking, which Channel3 consolidates
