    • price – The price of the product (after any discounts).

You can narrow the results down by email by adding “&[email protected]”. Replace “[email protected]” with the actual user’s email address for whom you want to show sales.

Retrieving Specific Sale Records

To retrieve a specific sale record, you can include either the id or the purchasekey parameter in the request.

For example, to retrieve a sale by the purchase key, the request looks like this:

http://example.com/edd-api/sales/?key=&token=&purchasekey=

To retrieve a sale by the ID, the request looks like this:

http://example.com/edd-api/sales/?key=&token=&id=

Searching Sale Records

Passing the email parameter will result in the API returning all sale records that match the given email address.
