print(f"Detailed info for: {product_detail.title}")
print(f"Materials: {product_detail.materials}")
print(f"Key features: {product_detail.key_features}")

Asynchronous Client

import asyncio
from channel3_sdk import AsyncChannel3Client

async def main():
    # Initialize the async client
    client = AsyncChannel3Client(api_key="your_api_key_here")
    
    # Search for products
    products = await client.search(query="running shoes")
    
    for product in products:

        print(f"Score: {product.score}")
    
    # Get detailed product information
    if products:
        product_detail = await client.get_product(products[0].id)
        print(f"Gender: {product_detail.gender}")

# Run the async function
asyncio.run(main())

Advanced Usage

Visual Search

# Search by image URL
products = client.search(image_url="https://example.com/image.jpg")

# Search by base64 image
with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    import base64
    base64_image = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
    products = client.search(base64_image=base64_image)

Multimodal Search

# Combine text and image search
products = client.search(
    query="blue denim jacket",
