Nike Scraper API in Python

Nike.com search results — name, price, original price, colourway count and image per product. One POST from Python with query, rows back as JSON with 20 fields, $0.001 per delivered product. No proxies or parsers to maintain.

Get an API key See the collector

A Python requests snippet that posts { — A Python requests call to the nike_products collector returns one dict per product, at $0.001 each.

First call

Install, call, read the rows.

pip install requests

The only dependency.

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.quanticdata.io/v1/scraper/collectors/nike_products/run",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['QD_API_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "query": "running",
        "max_results": 24,
    },
    timeout=120,
)
r.raise_for_status()
run = r.json()["payload"]
print(run["count"], "rows,", run["cost"]["usd"], "USD")
for row in run["results"]:
    print(row.get("id"), row.get("group_key"), row.get("product_id"), row.get("title"))

Python: one Nike product search run (Running), printing id, group_key, product_id, title

The key comes from an environment variable, never from the code. The run answers in the same request when it finishes in time; payload.results holds the rows and payload.cost what they cost.

Request parameters

What the collector takes.

Input of the Nike product search collector
Parameter	Type	Required	Meaning
`query`	string	yes	What to search on nike.com, e.g. "running" or "air max 90".
`sort`	string: `relevance`, `price_low`, `price_high`, `newest`	no (default relevance)	Result order (default relevance).
`country`	string	no	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code — proxy exit geo and Google locale (gl). Omit for the default pool.
`max_results`	integer	no (default 24)	How many products to deliver at most (1–240). You pay only for delivered products.

Response fields

20 fields per product.

Fields of each row (product)
Field	Type	What it holds
`rank`	integer	1-based position in Nike's order for this response.
`id`	string, nullable	Nike style-colour code, e.g. HM6804-300. Unique per row.
`group_key`	string, nullable	Nike's style key, as it appears in the PDP URL. NOT unique — different products can share one.
`product_id`	string, nullable	Nike's global product id (UUID).
`title`	string	Product name, e.g. "Nike Vomero 18". Occasionally just the brand, with the full name in subtitle.
`subtitle`	string, nullable	Nike's category line, e.g. "Women's Road Running Shoes".
`product_type`	string, nullable	FOOTWEAR, APPAREL or EQUIPMENT.
`price`	number, nullable	Current price of the displayed colourway.
`original_price`	number, nullable	Pre-discount price; equals price when not reduced.
`discount_percent`	integer, nullable	Nike's own discount figure, rounded down — a $20 item at $19.97 reports 0. Use on_sale for the reliable flag.
`on_sale`	boolean	True when price is below original_price.
`currency`	string, nullable	Always USD on the US catalogue.
`colour_count`	integer	Colourways Nike groups under this style. Not present in the markup — the card shows at most five swatches.
`colour`	string, nullable	Displayed colourway's simple colour, e.g. "Green".
`colour_description`	string, nullable	Full colourway name, e.g. "Barely Green/Steam/Light Silver/Metallic Silver".
`badge`	string, nullable	Card badge when shown: Just In, Best Seller, Recycled Materials, Customize.
`customizable`	boolean	True for Nike By You customizer entries.
`new_until`	string, nullable	ISO timestamp until which Nike badges the product as new. Delivered as Nike states it; it was null on every product of the captured page, so expect it mostly empty.
`image`	string, nullable	Displayed colourway's product image.
`url`	string, nullable	Product page URL.

Add ?format=csv to the runs endpoint to get the same rows as CSV.

Long runs

Run in the background, then poll.

A run that needs more time can go to the background: send "async": true, get 202 with the run id, and poll the runs endpoint until the status is done. Reading a run is free.

import os, time, requests

H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['QD_API_KEY']}"}
r = requests.post("https://api.quanticdata.io/v1/scraper/collectors/nike_products/run", headers=H,
                  json={**{"query":"running","max_results":24}, "async": True}, timeout=30)
run_id = r.json()["payload"]["run_id"]
while True:
    run = requests.get(f"https://api.quanticdata.io/v1/scraper/collectors/runs/{run_id}", headers=H, timeout=30).json()["payload"]
    if run["status"] in ("done", "failed"):
        break
    time.sleep(5)
print(run["status"], run["count"])

Python: background run and polling

Errors

What can come back, and what is billed.

Collector run errors
Status	Meaning	Billed
`400`	The input does not match the collector (`payload.errors`)	No
`401`	Missing or wrong API key	No
`402`	Balance and free credit do not cover the run: top up	No
`422`	The input can never resolve; retrying the same input cannot help	No
`424`	The run failed at the source (blocked, timed out, layout changed); safe to retry	No
`429`	Rate limit or a per-account brake; wait for `Retry-After`	No

Only delivered rows are billed: a run that delivers nothing costs nothing.

Price

$0.001 per delivered product.

What Nike product search rows cost at list price
Rows	Cost
1	$0.001
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00

Up to 240 products per run; split larger jobs into several runs. The $2 free credit every month covers about 2,000 products. No subscription; paid tiers lower the unit price. All collector prices: collector pricing.

Before you run it

Questions developers ask

Is there a free Nike product search API?

Every account gets $2 of free usage each month, about 2,000 products of this collector at $0.001 each, with no card.

Do I have to handle proxies, retries or blocks?

No. The collector runs on our network and handles them; a run blocked at the source returns 424 and is not billed.

How many rows can one run return?

Up to 240 products per run (the max_results input, where the collector has one).

Can an AI agent run it?

Yes: the MCP server exposes it as the run_collector tool, with the same input and price. See the MCP server.

Run it on the free credit.

Create an API key, export it as QD_API_KEY and run the example. $0.001 per delivered product, no subscription.
