A POST because a buyer name is personal data and URLs are kept in request logs: the name stays in the body. It reads only; nothing changes. `cursor` and `limit` go in the query string. Needs the `orders:read` scope and the Customer analytics workspace permission. Costs 1 API credit per page with results; an empty page is free. Cost: 1 API credit per page. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /v1/workspace/orders/search openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Alura API version: 1.0.0 description: Etsy market research for scripts and AI assistants. servers: - url: https://api.alura.io security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/workspace/orders/search: post: summary: Search orders by buyer name description: >- Searches the orders of your connected Etsy shops like `GET /v1/workspace/orders`, with every filter in the JSON body, and `q` a buyer name (case-insensitive, any part) or an exact order ID.
