Overview

About the About You API

What you can get

The About You API returns About You fashion data as JSON through 2 endpoints. Both take a country (de, ch, at, nl, be, pl, cz, sk, ro, hu, fr or lu) and a language (de, fr, nl, pl, cs, sk, ro or hu).

  • Search: search takes a query or a category, with brand, color, size, size_system, min_price, max_price, sale_only, sort (top_seller, highest_reduction, price_desc, price_asc or newest), page and limit. It also takes include_facets and resolve_names, each of which adds 1 credit.
  • Products: product takes a product_id or a product url.

The recorded search for category 20202 in de, with sale_only and sort=highest_reduction, returns resolved_as, category_id, page, limit, count, has_more and items. Each item has id, name, brand, url, images, price (with current, original, discount_amount and discount_percent), on_sale, price_reference, badges, sizes, color_variants and sponsored.

How a call works

Search a category: GET /v1/about-you/search?category=20202&sale_only=true&sort=highest_reduction&country=de with your key in the X-API-Key header. Each item carries an id, and each colour in color_variants a product_id; product takes a product_id. Check has_more before asking for the next page. A search costs 1 credit, plus 1 with resolve_names and 1 with include_facets, so at most 3; every other successful call costs 1 credit, and failed calls cost nothing.

FAQ

Questions

How much does the About You API cost?

Each successful call costs one credit. A search costs one more with `resolve_names` and one more with `include_facets`, so three at most. New accounts get free credits to start, and credit packs bring the price down as you scale.

Which countries can I query?

`country` takes de, ch, at, nl, be, pl, cz, sk, ro, hu, fr or lu, and `language` takes de, fr, nl, pl, cs, sk, ro or hu.

Can I search only items on sale?

Yes. Pass `sale_only=true` to `search`, and `sort=highest_reduction` to order results by discount.

What format are responses in?

Every endpoint returns JSON, with no HTML parsing on your side.

Should I build an About You scraper instead?

You can, but an About You scraper is code you maintain: page changes break it, requests get blocked, and About You's terms govern how you collect data. The About You API gives you 2 endpoints of named JSON fields for 1 credit per successful call, and failed calls cost nothing. A scraper makes sense only for data these endpoints don't return, so check the response in the playground on this page first.
