# Get Offers for a Merchant

Get Offers for a Merchant by Merchant Id

*Note: For more details on this endpoint and the other possible filter options it can take, please refer to the* [*API Reference*](/api-reference/catalog/offers/get-all-merchant-offers.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
When retrieving Offers, if you provide the `base_currency` query parameter the currency in the Offer object will match what was passed in and all prices will reflect that currency. The default currency when no parameter is provided is `USD`.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Violet **strongly** discourages scraping this endpoint. Most offers do not change very often,\
so re-scraping all of a merchants offers on a regular basis is a very costly way to keep your catalog up to date.

Violet's recommendation is to make use of [offer webhooks](/prism/webhooks/handling-webhooks.md) to be notified when offers are added/updated in Violet's system.\
This works because when your merchants onboard, their products are pulled into Violet's system and so you will receive a webhook for each of the new merchant's offers.\
Additionally, Violet employs a number of methods to keep our merchant's catalogs up to date and all of those methods will generate webhooks sent to your system.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.violet.io/prism/overview/interact-with-catalogs/get-offers-for-a-merchant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
