# Get products by ID

> Up to 100 Etsy products (other sellers' listings) by listing ID, as product summaries with Alura's sales estimates. Every ID comes back once, in one of four lists: `data` (products Alura knows, even when their data is older than 14 days; no refresh is started), `pending` (never seen, and a fetch from Etsy was started), `unfetched` (never seen and not fetched: a fetch limit, fetching switched off or unavailable; with `code` and `retry_after` seconds) or `not_found` (not on Etsy, or not available). Each never-seen ID counts against the workspace's daily product fetch cap and per-minute fetch rate. Costs 1 API credit per product in `data`; the call needs enough API credits for every distinct ID up front.

Cost: 1 API credit per item returned.
