Browse API missing listings compared to Ebay search?

I am noticing that sometimes no matter what I do auction listings are blatantly missed from browse api results, even when completely removing any filters and just using a query param it is missing the most recently ending auctions. my headers look like so, is there a trick I am missing? I know for sure that with these parameters I am not getting the soonest ending listing for my search term

auction_params = {<br/>    <span>"filter"</span>: <span>f"</span><span>buyingOptions:AUCTION"</span>,<br/>    <span>"category_ids"</span>: <span>query</span>.category,<br/>    <span>"sort"</span>: <span>"endingSoonest"</span>,<br/>    <span>"q"</span>: <span>search_term<br/></span>}

In case people have a similar issue, I noticed you must surround the values in {} even if you are using a single value, I couldnt find this documented anywhere. To be clear, the filter must look like this, at least that is what got me my intended functionality

<span>"filter"</span>: <span>"</span><span>buyingOptions:{AUCTION}"</span>,

I don't think that the brackets are the core reason.

In my case I have buyingOptions:{AUCTION|FIXED_PRICE} and still I am also missing a significant number of matches- when compared to the website results.
