> Merchant-side market search returning the items a merchant can buy through the secure buy endpoint, with exactly the same listing data as the client route.

**Authentication:** Merchant API Key (`api-key` header)
**Scope:** `CORE_ACCESS`

| `source`      | string  | —       | Set to `internal` to restrict results to the AssetPay pool, or `external` to restrict them to third-party marketplace listings (refreshed every 5 minutes). Omit for both. Ignored when `development` is set.                                                     |
| `development` | boolean | `false` | Sandbox flag. When `true` (or `1`), every returned item is stamped with instant delivery, a placeholder `previewToken`, and a synthetic holding `botInfo` so you can build against the full item shape using cheap live listings. The `source` filter is ignored. |

## Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "requestId": "...",
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "items": [ /* InventoryItem[] */ ],
    "count": 1523
  }
}
```

See [`GET /client/market`](/docs/api-reference/client/get-market#response) for the full field list and the [`Item`](/docs/reference/types#item) type.

Items sourced from the AssetPay internal pool (self-owned, instant delivery) additionally carry `previewToken` (Steam inspect/preview token) and `botInfo` (the holding bot). Third-party marketplace listings expose an inspect link upstream and have no `previewToken`.

To keep results current without polling, subscribe to the WebSocket [Market Updates](/docs/guides/websocket#market-updates) event. It pushes `internal`-source item and price changes in the same item shape, priced for your account.
