<BinName>
<BinItemCount>
<BinParameter>
<Name>MinimumPrice</Name>
<Value>
<BinParameter>
<Name>MaximumPrice</Name>
<Value>
The elements show the minimum and maximum price for items in that bin, and the number of items in
that bin.
Other NarrowBy values use other element tags in their bins. For example, when NarrowBy is "Brand,"
the element tags and Name values are:
<Bin>
<BinName>
<BinItemCount>
<BinParameter>
<Name>Brand</Name>
<Value>
You cannot specify the element tags returned in a bin.
Drilling Down
You can take the values in a bin and add them to the ItemSearch query to filter out of the response
items that are outside of that bin. To narrow the search results to shirts that cost between $0 and $25,
for example, you would add the following Name and its corresponding value as additional parameters in
the original ItemSearch request:
&MinimumPrice=0
&MaximumPrice=2499
You could narrow the search results even further by adding an additional parameter to the query. For
example, you could specify
&Brand=Levi's
The response would then only include shirts by Levi's that cost under $25. You could continue to drill
down by adding additional parameters to the request.
Notice that in each case the results were narrowed down by adding the value tagged with Name and its
corresponding value to the original ItemSearch request.
