ASOS Scraper API

An ASOS scraper API that searches ASOS and returns one row per product: name, brand, colour, the current price and the struck-through was-price in USD, discount percent, product URL, image and both ASOS ids. Read from the search JSON the ASOS listing page calls for itself — never a browser, never a paid placement.

ASOS Scraper API: query and max_results in, a residential exit in the middle, delivered rows with rank, product_id and product_code on the right, $0.001 per product.
You send query and max_results; the run goes out through a residential exit and comes back as products with rank, product_id and product_code — 20 fields on every row — and you are billed $0.001 for each product actually delivered, nothing for a run that delivers none.

What an ASOS scraper API does

The rendered ASOS listing page was measured against the site’s own search endpoint and lost on three counts, each of which would have put wrong values in customer rows. Currency first: the page answers a US residential exit in pounds, because the store is chosen by cookie rather than by IP, so a DOM parser ships GBP numbers labelled USD. The endpoint takes the store and currency as parameters, so prices here are USD by construction. Images next: only 4 of 72 tiles on a first page carry an image URL at all; the rest are lazy placeholders with nothing in the markup. The JSON states an image for every row.

Adverts last: the tile list mixes advert containers in among products as siblings. The endpoint’s product array contains none — ASOS keeps placements in a separate campaigns object — so there is nothing to filter and nothing to misalign. The DOM is not a fallback either: its class hooks are hashed build artefacts that change on any deploy. The endpoint has its own quirks (a relative URL with no leading slash, for one), all pinned by tests.

What one product looks like

Every delivered product carries these fields. Nullable means the source did not publish it — the field stays empty instead of being guessed.

FieldTypeWhat it holds
rankinteger1-based position in ASOS's ordering for this response.
product_idstringASOS product id — the id that keys the /prd/ page.
product_codestring · nullableASOS internal product code (does not key the URL).
namestringProduct name.
brandstring · nullableBrand name.
colourstring · nullableColourway as ASOS states it — its own casing is inconsistent ("PINK", "Chocolate").
colour_way_idstring · nullableASOS colourway id (the #colourWayId fragment on the URL).
pricenumber · nullableCurrent price (USD).
price_textstring · nullableCurrent price as ASOS formats it ("$52.00").
original_pricenumber · nullableStruck-through was-price (USD); null when not reduced.
rrpnumber · nullableRecommended retail price (USD) when ASOS states one.
currencystringCurrency ASOS priced the row in — USD, from the US store the request pins. A run that comes back in anything else says so in the notes.
discount_pctinteger · nullablePercent off the was-price; null unless both prices are stated.
is_marked_downbooleanASOS's own markdown flag.
is_outletbooleanOutlet pricing.
is_selling_fastbooleanASOS's low-stock badge.
is_newbooleanASOS's "New in" flag.
is_sponsoredbooleanPaid placement (ASOS keeps these out of the product list; false on every organic row).
urlstring · nullableProduct URL.
imagestring · nullablePrimary product image.

Pricing

ASOS Scraper API pricing

$0.001 per delivered product. A run that delivers nothing costs nothing: blocked pages, challenges and retries are on us, and the $2 monthly allowance covers about 2,000 products before you spend anything.

Integration

One POST, typed rows

Base URL https://api.quanticdata.io/v1, Bearer auth, the same key as every other Data API. Endpoint: POST /v1/scraper/collectors/asos_search/run.

curl -X POST https://api.quanticdata.io/v1/scraper/collectors/asos_search/run \

What people build with the ASOS scraper API

Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.

Fashion price monitoring

Current price, was-price and discount percent per product in one currency, re-run daily to catch markdowns by brand.

Assortment analysis

Brand, colour and product type across a query — how deep a category is, who is discounting, what is new or selling fast.

Catalogue matching

Both ASOS ids and the colour-way id on every row, so the same product is tracked across colours and days.

ASOS Scraper API versus rolling your own

The differences that actually cost time when you build this in-house.

DIY scraperThis collector
CurrencyGBP from the page, whatever your exitUSD by parameter, from the US store
Images4 of 72 tiles carry a URLEvery row
Paid placementsAdverts as sibling tilesNone in the product array
StabilityHashed class names that churn on deployA JSON endpoint the page itself relies on
ASOS Scraper API: the POST to /v1/scraper/collectors/asos_search/run with query on the left, and the JSON envelope on the right with 24 products and usage.cost_usd $0.024.
The same call you would paste into a terminal: a Bearer key, query in the body, and back the envelope every QuanticData endpoint returns — type, message, payload — where count is how many products arrived and usage.cost_usd is $0.024, which is 24 × $0.001. A run that delivers nothing costs nothing. The key is good for 60 req/min on the free tier.

FAQ

Questions we get about the ASOS scraper API.

Something else? Ask us →

Which storefront and currency?

The ASOS US store in USD, fixed by parameter. The rendered site chooses a store by cookie, which is why a scraper can quietly deliver pounds; here the currency is stated on every row.

Are sponsored products included?

No. ASOS keeps paid placements out of the product list and in a separate object, so the rows are the organic results only. is_sponsored stays on the row shape for completeness.

Does it need an ASOS API key?

No. The search endpoint is the one the listing page calls for itself and it takes no key, token or cookie — only the query.

Can I search by category rather than keyword?

This collector is keyword search. Category browsing is a different surface; a broad keyword such as “dress” or “trainers” reaches most of a category.

Is there a free ASOS scraper API?

Every account gets $2 of credit every month with no card, which is about 2,000 delivered products on this endpoint at $0.001 each. It renews monthly, and a run that delivers nothing is never billed — so a failed or blocked attempt does not eat the allowance.

How much does one run cost?

Multiply the rows you actually receive by $0.001. A run capped at 300 products — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.3 if every row comes back, and less when the source has fewer. Volume tiers take up to 30% off, and GET /v1/scraper/collectors returns the price your key actually pays.
