Product price comparison service / API

Question

1. Is there a free service/API that, given a product, lists online shops and prices where this product can be bought? Something like http://www.ciao.co.uk, but offering an api.

2. What about a universal product catalog, offering an API that can be queried with something like: I want to list all Acer video cards having an NVidia GPU?

I am interested especially on computer hardware products.

Answer 1

I've built quite some integrations with sites like Ciao, but I have yet to come across a site that offers the reverse. Don't think any will, as most of them rely on advertising to get paid.
