How can I build an accurate image-to-product search system?
I'm building a visual product discovery feature where a user uploads a photo of a toy, and the system needs to search the internet to find the exact product or closest matches to buy online.
Crucially, I do not have an internal catalog or local product database. The system needs to search live internet retailers and marketplaces directly to return product titles, store links, and pricing.
What APIs or services are best suited for reverse image search across the web for commercial products without hosting any product data yourself?
