Target Category API
Scrape Target Category data with one API call. Returns products listed in a Target category, 24 per page, each with title, brand, price, regular price, rating, image gallery, highlight bullets, and its TCIN. Unlike Target's keyword search this one paginates, so it is the way to walk a whole category: pass the returned cursor back until has_more is false. Because Target ships no keyword search worth billing for, this plus GET /v1/target/categories is how you discover TCINs. Two things to expect: consecutive pages occasionally repeat a handful of products, because Target's category ordering shifts between calls, so de-duplicate by product.id when crawling; and ratings are present on roughly half of category rows and null on the rest, which reflects Target's own data rather than an omission here.

The Category endpoint gives you structured Target data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/target/category",
params={
'category_id': 'hz89j',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/target/category?category_id=hz89j",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
