A shop’s sales count is its total across every product — Etsy’s API calls it “The total number of sales (transactions) for this shop.” Etsy doesn’t publish sales per listing, so this can’t say how many crochet patterns any of them sold. Compare them in the shop sales checker or audit MJsOffTheHookDesigns’s listings.

- One request to Etsy. “crochet pattern” is sent to Etsy’s API as an active-listing search, sorted by relevance; the first 100 results are read.
- Each listing counts once per tag. Tags are compared as written, ignoring capitals. Only tags used by at least two listings are listed.
- The 13-tag set takes the most-used phrases of two or more words first, skips word-order and plural twins, and fills any slots left with single words. Etsy’s limits:
You can use up to 13 tags per listing
andEach tag can contain up to 20 characters.
- Brand and character names (Disney, Marvel, Stanley and similar) are counted and marked “brand name”, but never put in the starting set. Using a trademark you don’t own in a tag can get a listing removed under Etsy’s intellectual property policy.
- Title phrases come from the same listings: two- and three-word phrases, each title counted once per phrase; phrases that start or end with a filler word are skipped. “Up front” means inside the first 40 characters — Etsy does not publish an exact cut-off, so treat it as a rough guide. Etsy’s limit:
A listing's title can be up to 140 characters long.
- Prices are the listing prices of the same listings. Etsy returns each price in the shop’s own currency; only the ones in US dollars are used for the range, and nothing is converted.
- What it cannot tell you: how often each tag is searched or which tags lead to sales. Etsy’s API publishes neither, so this page shows neither. A tag many listings share is common wording for this search — that is all the count proves.
