No search results for a model number of a product

[mipa_2676]

I am having a difficult time, yielding search results for a model number of a product but if I search for a laptop (General search) it yields results what is the deal ?

When I search that model number on eBay site, it gives 18 results including exact match.

endpoint = "https://svcs.sandbox.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1"
operation_name = "findItemsByKeywords"
url = f"{endpoint}?OPERATION-NAME={operation_name}&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0" \
f"&SECURITY-APPNAME={api_key}&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON&REST-PAYLOAD" \
f"&keywords={product_name}"

There's very little searchable data in the Sandbox. When testing Finding API searches, use Production instead.

Hi @helios825 ,

Thanks for your reply.
Now, I can fetch all the data that I want by using the production key instead of a sandbox.

But I have one query if I search for any item on eBay and if I search same item by this developer API, the results are different. I don't know why this is happening. I want the same results from the developer API output as I get from the eBay site. 

Can you please help me in this way?

Thanks in advance!
