Walmart scraper API

A Walmart scraper API for walmart.com search: one keyword in, one row per product out — item id, title, brand, current and struck-through price, star rating and review count, the seller behind the offer, availability and the sponsored flag.

Walmart scraper API: query and sort in, a residential exit in the middle, delivered rows with rank, page and item_id on the right, $0.002 per product. — You send query and sort; the run goes out through a residential exit and comes back as products with rank, page and item_id — 16 fields on every row — and you are billed $0.002 for each product actually delivered, nothing for a run that delivers none.

What a Walmart scraper API does

Walmart publishes everything a price-intelligence table needs inside the page's own data payload, and that is what this collector reads — prices arrive as both the displayed string and a numeric column, so $29.99 lands ready for arithmetic. The robot wall Walmart runs in front of that payload is our problem: the fetch retries on fresh US exits until the data answers, and you pay per delivered product, not per attempt.

The seller and sponsored columns are what separate a catalog from a ranking study. Marketplace offers hide behind the same search tiles as Walmart's own stock, and paid placements sit above organic ones — with both flagged per row you can price-match against first-party stock only, or measure how much of a shelf is bought.

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 across the merged pages.
`page`	integer	Search page the row came from.
`item_id`	string	Walmart US item id.
`title`	string	Product title.
`brand`	string · nullable	Brand when the payload carries it.
`url`	string · nullable	Clean product URL.
`price`	string · nullable	Current price as shown (e.g. $29.99).
`price_value`	number · nullable	Numeric current price.
`list_price`	string · nullable	Struck-through was-price when discounted.
`currency`	string	Always USD.
`rating`	number · nullable	Average star rating (1–5).
`reviews`	integer · nullable	Review count.
`seller`	string · nullable	Seller name (Walmart or marketplace).
`sponsored`	boolean	True for paid placements.
`availability`	string · nullable	Stock line when shown.
`image`	string · nullable	Thumbnail URL.

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. "coffee maker".

What people build with the Walmart scraper API

Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.

Price intelligence

Track your assortment's keywords daily: current price, was-price and availability per item id, diffable run over run — the was-price column dates promotions for you.

Marketplace share analysis

The seller column splits Walmart first-party from marketplace offers, so category share and buy-box behaviour become countable.

Shelf-position monitoring

Rank plus the sponsored flag show where brands actually appear for a query, organic versus paid — the retail-media picture brands pay to see.

Walmart scraper API versus rolling your own

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

	DIY scraper	This collector
Bot wall	PerimeterX challenges to solve yourself	Retried on fresh US exits until the payload answers
Prices	Strings scraped from tiles	Displayed string + numeric value, current and was-price
Paid placements	Indistinguishable from organic results	sponsored flag on every row

Walmart scraper API: the POST to /v1/scraper/collectors/walmart_search/run with query and sort on the left, and the JSON envelope on the right with 20 products and usage.cost_usd $0.04. — The same call you would paste into a terminal: a Bearer key, query and sort 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 $0.04, which is 20 × $0.002. 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 Walmart scraper API.

Something else? Ask us →

Which Walmart sites does it cover?

walmart.com — the US catalog, in USD. International Walmart properties run different platforms and are not covered by this collector.

Does it return marketplace sellers or only Walmart stock?

Both, flagged: every row carries the seller name, so filtering to first-party stock (seller = Walmart.com) or to marketplace offers is one predicate on your side.

How fresh are prices?

Each run fetches live search pages — rows reflect what walmart.com showed at run time. For monitoring, schedule the same query and diff by item id.

Is there a free Walmart scraper API?

Every account gets $2 of credit every month with no card, which is about 1,000 delivered products on this endpoint at $0.002 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 $0.002. A run capped at 100 products — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.2 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.
