## What It Does

`find_markets` finds Amazon markets in the Launch Fast catalog. A market is a product niche, such as silicone spatulas. You can search by name, or browse all markets with a saved view, filters, and a sort order.

A name search returns up to 5 matches. Browsing covers all markets in the catalog, with up to 100 rows on each page.

## When To Use It

Use `find_markets` first for each market question. It is free, so the assistant can search before it starts paid research.

| `trending-up`     | More than $250K revenue in 30 days, and more than 10% growth in 3 months.                     |
| `low-competition` | Most sellers have fewer than 575 reviews, and the top 3 brands have less than 45% of revenue. |
| `emerging`        | The typical listing is less than 2 years old, and the market grows.                           |
| `high-revenue`    | More than $10M revenue in 30 days.                                                            |

The `trending-up` view leaves out markets that grow by less than 10%. To see all growing markets, use `sort=growth` instead.

## What The Answer Contains

* A summary that gives the number of matching markets, the view rule, and the top market.
* A table with one row for each market. Each row shows the name, slug, grade, 30-day revenue, and average revenue for each product.
* Each row also shows the main keyword search volume, average price, 3-month growth, product count, and top 3 brand share.
* With `response_format=detailed`, the table adds the category, average BSR, average rating, average reviews, median listing age, and the date of the data.
* Paging data and the next calls, for example `get_market` for the top market.

If a name search finds no market, the answer says so and suggests `research_market` for that phrase.

If `category` matches no category, the answer says so and lists some category names you can use.
