What data can I access through the Squirrel API?

The Squirrel API provides live product pricing, availability, and commission-ready affiliate links from over 300 retailers. You can search by keyword, URL, ASIN, UPC, EAN, or SKU.

How do I authenticate with the API?

Authentication uses a simple API key provided when you sign up. Include it as a header in your requests. There's no complex OAuth flow required.

What formats does the API return?

The API returns JSON responses containing product data including title, price, currency, retailer name, availability status, and a ready-to-use affiliate link.

Is there a rate limit?

Yes, rate limits depend on your plan tier. The free tier includes a generous allowance for testing and smaller projects. Higher tiers offer increased limits for production use.

Can I use the API to build my own price comparison features?

Absolutely. The API is designed for developers who want to build custom price comparison experiences, automated deal alerts, editorial tools, or any application that needs live retail pricing data.

Which countries and currencies are supported?

The API covers retailers across multiple countries and returns prices in local currencies. Coverage includes the UK, US, EU, Australia, and more — with new regions added regularly.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. You can start using the Squirrel API for free with a limited number of requests per month. This is ideal for prototyping and smaller publisher sites.
