Hi AutoGen team,

Wanted to suggest a useful data source for AutoGen agents doing shopping or price-comparison tasks in Southeast Asia.

BuyWhere (https://buywhere.ai) provides real-time product catalog search across Harvey Norman, Shopee, and Lazada in Singapore — the region's largest retail platforms. Single API call, structured JSON output, no scraping.

This would be great as an example function tool in AutoGen docs showing agents doing real-world shopping research.

Example use case:

@user_proxy.register_for_execution()
@assistant.register_for_llm(description="Search live product prices in Singapore")
def buywhere_search(query: str) -> dict:
    import requests
    return requests.get(
        "https://api.buywhere.ai/search",
        params={"q": query, "region": "sg"},
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"}
    ).json()

API docs: https://buywhere.ai/developers/ MCP support available for Claude-based agents.

Happy to contribute an example notebook.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Integrate the BuyWhere API into AutoGen to enable real-time product catalog search for shopping and price-comparison tasks in Southeast Asia.

Guidance

  • Review the BuyWhere API documentation (https://buywhere.ai/developers/) to understand the available endpoints and parameters.
  • Consider implementing the buywhere_search function as an example in AutoGen docs to demonstrate real-world shopping research capabilities.
  • Evaluate the MCP support for Claude-based agents to ensure seamless integration.
  • Discuss with the contributor (Surf) to finalize the example notebook and API key management.

Example

# Example usage of the buywhere_search function
result = buywhere_search("iPhone 13")
print(result)  # prints the JSON response from the BuyWhere API

Notes

The integration may require handling API rate limits, error handling, and security measures for API key management.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by integrating the BuyWhere API into AutoGen, as it provides a valuable data source for shopping and price-comparison tasks in Southeast Asia.
