As an API user, a line like this makes me wary.

The wording is as much of a problem for me as anything.

For the `exclude_soldout` parameter, I would think that if this is the `very least` I should do, that it should be the defaults for the API, and that I should have to override these if this isn't what I want.

For the location parameters, I'm not sure what.  It just doesn't feel right, and maybe shouldn't even be in the document.  It is like we're dictating the use of the API to the user.  It almost sounds like we're saying "Don't use the API unless your searching for deals in a particular area..."
