Yes. The Free tier on Parse includes 100 API calls per month at no cost with a 5 request-per-minute rate limit. Paid tiers add more credits and higher rate limits: Hobby ($30/month, 1,000 credits, 20 req/min) and Developer ($100/month, 5,000 credits, 250 req/min).

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits are per Parse account, not per API: 5 requests/minute on Free, 20 on Hobby, and 250 on Developer. Exceeding the limit returns a 429 status code. The same limit applies regardless of which marketplace API you call.

How do I authenticate?

Send your Parse API key in the X-API-Key header on every request. Get a key by signing up at parse.bot — no credit card required for the free tier.

About the lalpathlabs.com API

The Dr. Lal PathLabs API exposes 7 endpoints covering India's largest diagnostic lab chain — from keyword-based test search and full analyte breakdowns to nearest collection center lookup and live promotional offers. The get_test_details endpoint alone returns specimen requirements, pretest preparation, report delivery details, and city-specific pricing by passing one or more item IDs. Coverage spans hundreds of tests and health packages across all cities served by the lab network.

Test Search and Detail

The search_tests endpoint accepts a query string (e.g. 'thyroid', 'CBC', 'diabetes') and an optional city_id integer to return city-adjusted prices alongside matching tests and packages. For deeper inspection, get_test_details takes a item_id string — single or comma-separated — and an optional city_name parameter. Its response includes a result array with analyte parameters, supplementary tests, specimen type, pretest instructions, and report turnaround data. Common item IDs include Z021 for CBC and S153 for thyroid panels.

Test Catalog and Categories

list_all_tests returns a paginated list of every test on the Dr. Lal PathLabs menu, structured as a data object with a result array. list_categories returns all available diagnostic categories — conditions and specialities — that map to test groupings, useful for building filter UIs or browsing by health concern.

Locations and Offers

list_cities returns every city Dr. Lal PathLabs serves, including city_id, city_name, state_name, city_code, and service configuration flags, along with a TotalRecord count. The find_nearest_center endpoint takes a city string and optional state to return nearby collection center details. get_special_offers returns active coupon objects with Name, Description, Banner URL, CouponCategory, and terms — no parameters required.

Common use cases

Build a diagnostic test comparison tool that pulls city-specific pricing from get_test_details for multiple cities simultaneously.
Populate a health app's test catalog using list_all_tests and enrich each entry with analyte parameters from get_test_details.
Create a location finder widget that uses list_cities to populate a dropdown and find_nearest_center to show nearby labs.
Aggregate active discount offers from get_special_offers and surface coupon banners to users before checkout.
Index pathology tests by category using list_categories to build a browsable condition-based directory.
Automate price monitoring across cities by querying search_tests with a fixed keyword and rotating city_id values.
Build a pre-test preparation guide by extracting pretest and specimen fields from get_test_details for a curated list of tests.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dr. Lal PathLabs have an official public developer API?+

Dr. Lal PathLabs does not publish a public developer API or developer portal. This Parse API provides structured access to the data available on lalpathlabs.com.

What does `get_test_details` return beyond price?+

In addition to city-specific pricing (controlled by the city_name parameter), the endpoint returns analyte parameters, supplementary test associations, specimen requirements, pretest preparation instructions, and report delivery details — all within the result array of the Data object.

Does `find_nearest_center` return GPS coordinates or only text-based location data?+

The endpoint returns a result array of collection center objects for the requested city. The response schema listed does not explicitly expose latitude/longitude fields. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add coordinate extraction if the underlying center data includes it.

Can I retrieve home sample collection availability or booking slots through this API?+

Not currently. The API covers test details, center locations, city listings, categories, and offers. Booking workflow data — including slot availability and home collection scheduling — is not exposed. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add the missing endpoint.

How does `list_all_tests` handle large catalogs — is there pagination control?+

The endpoint returns a data object with a result array but does not currently expose user-controlled pagination parameters such as page number or page size. All available tests are returned in the default response.
