# target_product Documentation
2+
3+
## Brief Description
4+
`target_product` is a JSON object that defines the configuration for extracting product data from Target's website using a given Target product ID (TCIN).
5+
6+
## Usage
7+
This object is typically used as part of a larger API or scraping system. It defines the query parameters, URL structure, and parsing options for retrieving product information from Target.com.
8+
9+
## Parameters
10+
- `tcin` (string, required): The Target product ID, must be an 8-digit number.
11+
12+
## Return Value
13+
The object doesn't return a value directly, but when used in an API call, it would return a JSON object containing detailed product information from Target.com.
14+
15+
## Examples
16+
17+
```javascript
18+
// Example API call using the target_product configuration
19+
const response = await api.query('target_product', {
20+
tcin: '87973629'
21+
});
22+
23+
console.log(response.parsing.product.name);
24+
// Output: "Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker - Black/Stainless Steel"
25+
```
26+
27+
## Notes or Considerations
28+
- This object is designed to work with a specific API or scraping system that understands its structure.
29+
- The actual data retrieval and parsing are handled by external systems defined in the `parseOptions` and `renderOptions`.
30+
- Be mindful of Target's terms of service when using this for web scraping.
31+
- The `render` option is set to true, which may indicate that JavaScript rendering is required to fully extract the product data.
32+
- There's a built-in delay in the `render_flow`, which may affect the speed of data retrieval.
