Target Product Search API
A GET request to our endpoint /api/getter/?platform="target_search" will allow you to scrape search results from Target.com's search engine in real-time.
Example
Here's an example showcasing how you can scrape search results from Target.com for the keyword of your choice. For our example, we have chosen the keyword, "coffee maker".
1 | |
Note
When using curl, it is necessary to add the option -L to get the data back. This is because in some cases our server responds with a 301 and curl does not follow the redirect by default.
Query Parameters
As you can see in the example above, our endpoint needs the following query parameters:
Search Query
search
Required
Parameter defines the search query you want to search. You can use anything that a user may use in a regular search while shopping on Target.com.
page
Optional
Parameter defines the page number for which you want the results. Default value is 1.
Other Required Parameters
platform
Required
Parameter specifies the scraping engine you wish to invoke. In this case, the value should be target_search.
api_key
Required
Your account's token—which can be obtained by signing up here.
Note
Be sure to replace any whitespace in the search keywords with a plus + sign. So, if you're looking to scrape search results for the keyword "black chair", please set the value of the query parameter search to "black+chair".
Results
The response will include up to 40 product results for every query. Our scraper grabs the following attributes for every product in Target's search results:
| Attributes Returned | Data Type | Information Represented |
|---|---|---|
| id | string | Retailer ID of product lisitng |
