# Google Shopping Data API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/google_shopping)

> Google Shopping API: 4 endpoints for keyword product search, full product detail with specs and variations, cross-retailer reviews, and seller offers with itemised pricing. Product search costs 5 credits; product, reviews, and sellers cost 1 each — 100 free credits on signup, no card. Product, price, and seller data without building any scraping infrastructure.

TL;DR: SocialCrawl's Google Shopping API exposes 4 endpoints, 1 to 5 credits per call, all returning one unified JSON schema with AI-enriched fields. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Path | Credits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product Search | GET | `/v1/google_shopping/product-search` | 5 | Search Google Shopping products |
| Product | GET | `/v1/google_shopping/product` | 1 | Get Google Shopping product detail |
| Reviews | GET | `/v1/google_shopping/reviews` | 1 | Get Google Shopping product reviews |
| Sellers | GET | `/v1/google_shopping/sellers` | 1 | Get Google Shopping sellers for a product |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/google_shopping/product-search?query=wireless%20earbuds" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Every response shares one JSON envelope: `{ success, platform, endpoint, data, credits_used, credits_remaining }`.

## SocialCrawl vs DIY scraping

| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY scraping |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Authentication | One x-api-key header across 44 platforms | None — you manage proxies and browser fingerprints instead |
| Setup | One GET request; ids chain search → product → reviews → sellers | Headless browser, proxy pool, and HTML parsers to build before the first result |
| Rate limits / blocks | Flat credit pricing; blocks handled upstream | Google Shopping renders client-side and blocks bots aggressively |
| Response schema | Unified commerce schema shared with Amazon and Trustpilot endpoints | Raw HTML and embedded JSON you reverse-engineer after every layout change |
| Pricing | 5 credits per search, 1 credit for product, reviews, and sellers; 100 free | Free to attempt, but proxy and CAPTCHA costs grow with volume |
| Maintenance | Stable schema maintained as Google Shopping evolves | Selectors break silently whenever Google ships a redesign |

## FAQ

### Is there a Google Shopping prices API?

Yes. A Google Shopping prices API returns product listings, sellers and current prices as JSON. SocialCrawl returns them in the same commerce schema as Amazon and TikTok Shop, so a price-tracking job reads one shape instead of three.

### Does Google Shopping have an API for product data?

Google doesn't offer a public product-search API, but SocialCrawl's Google Shopping API does. 4 endpoints cover keyword product search, full product detail, cross-retailer reviews, and seller offers — all in one unified JSON schema.

### What can the SocialCrawl Google Shopping API do?

It returns Google Shopping products for a keyword (title, seller, price, rating, image), full product detail with specifications and variations, reviews aggregated across retailers, and the list of sellers offering a product with itemised pricing.

### How does product search connect to reviews and sellers?

Product search returns opaque ids (product_id, gid, data_docid) on every result. You pass any of those ids to the product, reviews, and sellers endpoints — search first, then fetch the detail you need for a specific product.

### How much does the Google Shopping API cost?

Product search costs 5 credits; the product, reviews, and sellers endpoints cost 1 credit each. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, and failed or empty lookups are automatically refunded.

### Where do the reviews come from?

Google Shopping aggregates reviews across the retailers that sell a product, so each review carries its source — the retailer domain that hosts it. That cross-retailer view is hard to assemble from any single store's API.

### What is the best Google Shopping scraper API?

SocialCrawl's Google Shopping API returns products, prices, cross-retailer reviews, and seller offers through 4 endpoints in one unified schema. Product search costs 5 credits; product, reviews, and sellers cost 1 each. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card — and Google itself offers no public product-search API.

### Is there a Google Shopping data API?

Google offers no dedicated public Google Shopping data API for reading product listings, so SocialCrawl provides one. 4 endpoints cover keyword product search, full product detail with specs and variations, cross-retailer reviews tagged by source domain, and seller offers with itemised pricing, all in the commerce schema shared with Amazon and TikTok Shop. Product search costs 5 credits, the product, reviews, and sellers endpoints cost 1 credit each, and signup includes 100 free credits.
