Flipkart Scraper API
A Flipkart scraper API that turns a keyword into product rows from Flipkart India: title, variant subtitle, brand, current price and MRP in INR, discount percent, average rating with ratings and reviews counts, stock state, product id, URL and image — one row per product, billed per delivered product.

What a Flipkart scraper API does
Flipkart renders its result grid from an embedded state object server-side, so the numbers on the page are in the page rather than assembled by a script — but only if you reach it from inside India. This collector requests through Indian residential exits, so the catalogue, prices and availability are the ones a shopper in India actually sees.
Prices are read as Flipkart states them: price is the current INR figure, mrp the struck-through list price, and discount_pct the percentage as shown, with currency fixed to INR because Flipkart is India-only. An unrated product returns a null rating rather than a zero that would drag down an average.
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.
| Field | Type | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
rank | integer | 1-based position. |
product_id | string | Flipkart product id (pid). |
title | string | Product title. |
subtitle | string · nullable | Variant line (color, size…). |
brand | string · nullable | Brand. |
rating | number · nullable | Average rating (null when unrated). |
ratings_count | integer · nullable | Number of ratings. |
reviews_count | integer · nullable | Number of written reviews. |
price | number · nullable | Current price (INR). |
mrp | number · nullable | List price (INR). |
currency | string | Always INR. |
discount_pct | integer · nullable | Discount percent. |
in_stock | boolean | Availability. |
url | string · nullable | Product URL. |
image | string · nullable | Product image. |
Inputs
The whole request. Anything you leave out falls back to the default shown in the catalog.
| Input | Type | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | yes | What to search, e.g. "headphones". |
max_results | integer | no | How many products to deliver at most (1–90). You pay only for delivered products. |

What people build with the Flipkart scraper API
Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.
India price tracking
Watch current price against MRP and discount for a keyword across the Flipkart catalogue.
Rating benchmarks
Rank a category by average rating with the ratings and reviews counts that back it.
Assortment and stock
See which brands and variants own a query and whether each is in stock.
Flipkart Scraper API versus rolling your own
The differences that actually cost time when you build this in-house.
| DIY scraper | This collector | |
|---|---|---|
| Exit geography | A generic proxy that gets a stripped page | Indian residential exits, the real catalogue |
| Currency | A number with no unit | INR on every row, currency stated |
| Unrated items | A misleading 0.0 | Null rating, counts left empty |
Is there an official Flipkart API for product data?
Flipkart's own programme is aimed at affiliates and sellers, not open product search. This collector reads the public search page instead, so you pass a query rather than apply for access.
Why are all the prices in rupees?
Because Flipkart operates only in India and quotes only INR. The currency field is always INR by design, not a setting — there is no other market to switch to.
Can I read a specific product page?
This collector returns the search grid — id, title, price, rating, stock — for a keyword. It gives you the product_id (pid) and URL for each hit, which is the handle you would use to go deeper.
Is there a free Flipkart 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 90 products — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.09 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.
