# Flipkart Autocomplete API Documentation

<p><strong>Flipkart Autocomplete API Documentation</strong> Get the search suggestions Flipkart shows while you type. Each suggestion has the text, the type, the category it belongs to (name and store id for the search endpoint) and a small photo. Promotion rows are removed. A query with no suggestion returns an empty list and costs 1 credit. Cost: 1 credit per request, only for successful requests. Failed requests are not billed.</p>
