Over the last few days ive been doing store searches in my area and
have been coming back with nothing. Previously I was able to get
stores in my area via gps but this time nothing was showing up at all.

Tried manually doing a few api calls using &c=US&z=85022 and nothing
comes back tried zips all over and from the stores locations them
selves and nothing is coming up "stores":[] is empty.

I tried searching a zip from FL i knew worked, a user got in touch
with me said gps wasnt pulling stores in your area which is a common
problem ive been having, she gave me her zip 34683 on 1/23 and I had
done a search getting close to 7 to 10 stores in the area, now its
only getting 2.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Hi Shaun,

I've made one little tweak and now you should have extra results
showing up.

Our inventory is constantly shifting, and we only show store search
results for those stores we have inventory for. We're going to be
adding a lot of stores to the system over the next few months, but in
the interim if you notice a store you used to see or think you should
see on Snooth's store search it would help me to track down better
information to have the name of the store or better yet their Snooth
group page.

As always I appreciate the report.

I've just added the feature to search a specific store on Snooth to
the upcoming iphone app but it doesn't seem to be working.

What is the store id that should be passed? My query ends with "m=the-
wine-merchant-raleigh&q=amity" but this is returning results that are
very different from when searching that store's website directly.

Perhaps related, but I was not able to figure out how to search at
just one store on snooth.com directly. I could browse all results for
a store but refining the search seemed to clear the store and go back
to searching everything.

Any suggestions?

Hi Tom,

If you do a store search you should find that an ID is passed back
that is an integer. If you use that integer as the m parameter to the
wine search, the API should return the results for that store's
inventory.

Hope that helps.

That worked, once I found the store id in the results by searching
zipcode.
Thanks!
