Motonet Product Search
Search the Motonet product catalog using their internal search API. No browser or authentication required.
Quick Start
Run the search script to find products:
./scripts/search.py "akku"
./scripts/search.py "öljynsuodatin" --limit 20
./scripts/search.py "perävaunu" --json
./scripts/search.py "jarrupalat" --page 2
How It Works
The Motonet webshop at motonet.fi uses a Next.js backend with an internal
search API. The search script calls this API directly over HTTPS with JSON
responses, bypassing the need for a browser.
The API requires no authentication.
Using the Search Script
Basic search
./scripts/search.py "search term"
Prints a formatted list of up to 10 products with name, brand, price, category, product code, and product URL.
JSON output
./scripts/search.py "search term" --json
Outputs the raw API response as JSON for programmatic use.
Pagination
./scripts/search.py "search term" --limit 20 --page 2
--limit N— Number of results (default: 10, max: 30)--page N— Page number, 1-based (default: 1)
Note: The API enforces a maximum page size of 30 results.
Programmatic Use
Import the search functions in Python:
from scripts.search import search_products, extract_products
raw = search_products("akku", limit=5)
products = extract_products(raw)
for p in products:
print(p["name"], p.get("price", "N/A"))
