:: and format the results into cards that will populate a 5 column wide grid.
To modify the code to format the results into cards displayed in a 5-column grid, you will need to make some updates to both the Python backend and the HTML file. I’ll assume you’re using a Flask backend to handle the API request and render the HTML with the results. Here’s how to approach it:
### Python (Flask Backend)
Update your Flask app to make the request to the API and pass the response data to the HTML template.
“`python
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
import requests
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route(“/”, methods=[“GET”, “POST”])
def index():
data = None
error = None
if request.method == “POST”:
query = request.form[“query”]
url = “https://real-time-product-search.p.rapidapi.com/search-v2”
querystring = {
“q”: query,
“country”: “us”,
“language”: “en”,
“page”: “1”,
“limit”: “10”,
“sort_by”: “BEST_MATCH”,
“product_condition”: “ANY”
}
headers = {
“x-rapidapi-key”: “0120c8bf04msh6d5c29e42bb10bbp19620fjsne0230d695402”,
“x-rapidapi-host”: “real-time-product-search.p.rapidapi.com”
}
try:
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for bad responses
data = response.json().get(“data”, {}).get(“products”, [])
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
error = str(e)
return render_template(“index.html”, data=data, error=error)
if __name__ == “__main__”:
app.run(debug=True)
“`
### HTML (index.html)
Now, update the HTML template to render the results in a 5-column grid using CSS.
“`html
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 20px;
}
.error {
color: red;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.response {
margin-top: 20px;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr);
gap: 20px;
}
.card {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
text-align: center;
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.card img {
max-width: 100%;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.card h3 {
font-size: 1.2em;
margin: 10px 0;
}
.card p {
color: #555;
}

{% if error %}
{{ error }}
{% endif %}
{% if data %}
Response Data:
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
“`
### Key Modifications:
1. **Python Code:**
– The form now sends a POST request to search the products based on the query.
– The API response is processed, and the `data` (product list) is passed to the template.
2. **HTML (index.html):**
– Added a grid layout with `display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr);` to display a 5-column grid.
– For each product, a card is created displaying the title, merchant name, image (if available), and a link to the offer page.
– The `product` dictionary is expected to have keys like `title`, `photo`, `merchant_name`, and `offer_page_url`. Ensure these keys match what the API provides in its response.
### Notes:
– Adjust the grid layout if you want a different number of columns or further styling.
– You can modify the card structure to display additional product details if needed.
– Ensure the API response structure matches the expected format in the template (e.g., `product.photo`, `product.title`, etc.).
With these modifications, the products will be displayed in a responsive grid of cards, each containing an image, title, merchant name, and link to the offer page.

The issue you’re facing suggests that the data is not being correctly passed to the template, possibly because the API response might not be in the format expected or the data itself is empty.
Let’s troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
### Step 1: Debug the API Response
First, confirm that the API is returning the expected data. You can log the response from the API to check its contents.
Update the Python code to print the response before passing it to the template:
“`python
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
import requests
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route(“/”, methods=[“GET”, “POST”])
def index():
data = None
error = None
if request.method == “POST”:
query = request.form[“query”]
url = “https://real-time-product-search.p.rapidapi.com/search-v2”
querystring = {
“q”: query,
“country”: “us”,
“language”: “en”,
“page”: “1”,
“limit”: “10”,
“sort_by”: “BEST_MATCH”,
“product_condition”: “ANY”
}
headers = {
“x-rapidapi-key”: “0120c8bf04msh6d5c29e42bb10bbp19620fjsne0230d695402”,
“x-rapidapi-host”: “real-time-product-search.p.rapidapi.com”
}
try:
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for bad responses
response_json = response.json() # Parse JSON response
# Print the response for debugging purposes
print(response_json)
data = response_json.get(“data”, {}).get(“products”, [])
print(“Products:”, data)
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
error = str(e)
return render_template(“index.html”, data=data, error=error)
if __name__ == “__main__”:
app.run(debug=True)
“`
This will allow you to see the full API response printed in your terminal where the Flask app is running.
### Step 2: Check for Correct Data Structure
If the response doesn’t contain the expected structure, adjust your template accordingly. Based on the schema you provided earlier, the `products` should be under `data` in the response. If the data structure doesn’t match, you need to adjust either the code or the template accordingly.
For example, if the response looks something like this:
“`json
{
“status”: “OK”,
“request_id”: “some-request-id”,
“data”: {
“products”: [
{
“title”: “Beurer Pulse Oximeter”,
“merchant_name”: “CVS”,
“photo”: “image_url_here”,
“offer_page_url”: “offer_link_here”
}
]
}
}
“`
Then, the logic in your Flask app should correctly access `response_json.get(“data”, {}).get(“products”, [])` to retrieve the list of products.
### Step 3: Update the HTML Template
If the API response data structure is correct, but the cards aren’t displaying, you might need to update the HTML to better handle the empty or incorrect data.
Make sure that your HTML is structured correctly to display the products. You can also add a check to make sure there are actual products to display.
Here is an updated version of the template with debugging and handling for no products:
“`html
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 20px;
}
.error {
color: red;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.response {
margin-top: 20px;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(5,
