Walmart Category API
Scrape Walmart Category data with one API call. Returns products listed in a Walmart category, up to 100 per call, with title, price, rating, review count, image, availability, and seller. Unlike keyword search this endpoint DOES return real prices, which makes it the better source for price monitoring across a product set. Category ids appear in the category URLs on a product detail response (for example 3944 for Electronics). Brand is not populated on category rows; read it from GET /v1/walmart/product when you need it.

Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/walmart/category?category_id=3944"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/walmart/category",
params={
'category_id': '3944',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/walmart/category?category_id=3944",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| category_id | Yes | Walmart category id, for example 3944 for Electronics. Category ids and their URLs are returned in the categories array of GET /v1/walmart/product. |
| page | No | Page number, starting at 1. Prefer the universal cursor parameter. |
| sort_by | No | Result ordering: best_match (default), price_low, price_high, best_seller, or top_rated. (best_match | price_low | price_high | best_seller | top_rated) |
| min_price | No | Lowest price to include. Must be below max_price when both are set. |
| max_price | No | Highest price to include. Must be above min_price when both are set. |
| zip_code | No | ZIP code used to localise availability, pickup, and shipping options. Walmart pricing and stock are store-level, so results differ by location. |
| state | No | Two-letter US state code used to localise results (for example CA, NY). |
| store_id | No | Walmart store id, to restrict results to one physical store's assortment. |
| facet | No | Opaque refinement token taken from a previous response's facet data (for example a brand or category filter). |
| country | No | Walmart marketplace as a two-letter country code: US (walmart.com, default) or CA (walmart.ca). A product id from one marketplace will not resolve in the other. (US | CA) |
| limit | No | Products per page, 1 to 100. Defaults to 40. |
