# 8.SIMILAR
## What we want to build
We want to show a slider with up to 8 similar products on our product page.
## GraphQL query and response - id only
To ensure that you show the most recent data in you shop you should only query the product ids and fetch the rest of the data you need for your UI from your own database.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="GraphQL query" %}
```graphql
query {
product(id: "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1") {
similarProducts(first: 8) {
edges {
node {
id
}
}
}
}
}
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="cURL request" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.8select.io/graphql \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-id: db54750f-80fc-4818-9455-30ca233225dc' \
--data '{"query":"query {\n product(id: \"8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1\") {\n similarProducts(first: 8) {\n edges {\n node {\n id\n }\n }\n }\n\t}\n}\n"}'
```
{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="response" %}
```json
{
"data": {
"product": {
"similarProducts": {
"edges": [
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-10"
}
},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-9"
}
},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-7"
}
},
{
"node": {

}
},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-2"
}
},
{
"node": {

}
},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-4"
}
},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-5"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
## GraphQL query and response - full data
In case you can not make the extra roundtrip you can actually query all the data that is required to render a basic UI.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="GraphQL query" %}
````graphql
```groovy
query {
product(id: "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1") {
similarProducts(first: 5) {
edges {
node {
id
brand
images {
edges {
node {
url
}
}
}
modelId
name
tags
url
variants {
edges {
node {
id
variantId
manufacturerSuggestedRetailPrice {
amount
currencyCode
}
price {

currencyCode
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
````
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="cURL request" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.8select.io/graphql \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-id: db54750f-80fc-4818-9455-30ca233225dc' \
--data '{"query":"query {\n product(id: \"8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1\") {\n similarProducts(first: 5) {\n edges {\n node {\n id\n brand\n images {\n edges {\n node {\n url\n }\n }\n }\n modelId\n name\n tags\n url \n variants {\n edges {\n node {\n id\n variantId\n manufacturerSuggestedRetailPrice {\n amount\n currencyCode\n }\n price {\n amount\n currencyCode\n }\n \n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}"}'

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.8select.io/api/examples/8.similar.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
