# Get Offers for a Merchant

*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.
