What is the Carrefour API?
The Carrefour Belgium API provides access to the full Carrefour.be product catalog through 2 endpoints, covering search, category browsing, pricing, stock availability, and per-product nutritional data. The search_products endpoint returns paginated results with price, brand, and package info, while get_product_details exposes structured nutritional values, Nutri-Score grades, and ingredient descriptions for individual products.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/ff0c0252-2e26-4e1c-9bfc-f1f76f2d3c33/search_products?page=0&query=lait&category_id=products' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Search for products by keyword or browse by category. Returns a paginated list of products with prices, stock availability, promotion info, and basic details. Results are returned 36 per page. Pagination is zero-indexed. At least one of query or category_id should be provided for meaningful results.
| Param | Type | Description |

| page | integer | Page number, 0-indexed. |
| query | string | Search keyword (e.g., 'lait', 'chocolat'). If omitted, browses the specified category. |

}About the Carrefour API
Search and Browse Products
The search_products endpoint accepts a query string (e.g., 'lait', 'chocolat') and/or a category_id (e.g., 'ros002' for Crèmerie) to return a paginated list of matching products. Each page contains up to 36 results, and pagination is zero-indexed via the page parameter. Each product object in the response includes product_id, name, brand, price, currency, image_url, url, package_info, price_per_unit, and availability status. The total_count field lets you calculate how many pages to fetch.
Product Detail and Nutritional Data
The get_product_details endpoint takes a full product page url — obtained from a search_products result — and returns extended product information. This includes a description with ingredient and usage details, a nutri_score field (grades A–E, or null when not present on the product page), and a nutritional_info array of label/value pairs covering standard values such as energy, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and salt.
Coverage and Scope
This API covers the Carrefour Belgium (carrefour.be) product catalog, with product text and categories served in French. Category IDs such as 'ros002' can be used to browse specific departments without a keyword query. Nutritional data is returned only when the product page itself carries that information — some products may return an empty nutritional_info array and a null nutri_score.
The Carrefour API is a managed, monitored endpoint for carrefour.eu — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when carrefour.eu changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official carrefour.eu API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

- Monitor a specific product category (e.g., dairy via
category_id: 'ros002') for new product listings usingtotal_countand pagination. - Filter products by brand using the
brandfield returned from search results to compare private-label vs. named-brand pricing. - Extract ingredient lists and allergen-relevant descriptions from

products array includes product_id, brand, currency, image_url, url, package_info (e.g., weight or volume), price_per_unit (unit pricing such as price per kg or liter), and an availability flag. The url field is what you pass to get_product_details for deeper information.Is nutritional data available for every product?+
