The Data score on Amazon search APIs

This score, out of 100, shows how much of a search's results page a provider's call returns. We send each provider the words of a search, as a buyer types them on amazon.com. For each search, we count the parts the answer held, such as the products and each product's price. We divide the number of parts the answer held by the number of parts we count for the search. We count a part on a search when a live provider's answer held that part. We count each part from any provider's answer when fewer than two live providers found the search. For a part made of items, such as the products, we count the items in the answer. We divide that number by the most items any answer held for that search. We keep each provider's first products, up to the number that most providers returned for the search. Each product has details, such as the price. We count the share of the provider's products that have the detail. We score a provider whose plans say answers can be old the same way as a live provider. We average the results over all searches. Every search counts the same. A search where the call returned no product other than ads counts as 0. We compare a provider that ran on fewer searches with the other providers on those same searches. A provider can't score higher by running only on easy searches. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer searches than the benchmark has.
