Access SneakerNews.com data via API: latest articles, SKU lookups, upcoming release dates, retailer links, and per-page ad slot inventory across 6 endpoints.
What is the Sneaker News API?
The SneakerNews API covers 6 endpoints that expose sneaker news articles, upcoming release dates, SKU-level product metadata, and per-page ad slot analysis from sneakernews.com. The get_release_info_by_sku endpoint accepts an exact style code and returns the release date, drop time, detected brand, and retailer buy links. The get_ad_slot_inventory endpoint delivers ad density ratings, slot counts, and reader-experience risk indicators for any page URL on the site.

}About the Sneaker News API
Article and Search Coverage
The get_latest_news endpoint returns the current homepage set of articles — typically 5 to 10 items — each with title, url, excerpt, author, publish_date, categories, thumbnail, and a hot_score engagement signal. For deeper retrieval, search_articles accepts a query string (e.g. 'nike dunk', 'jordan') and an optional page integer for pagination, returning matching articles ordered by relevance and recency. The get_article_detail endpoint takes a full article URL and returns the complete content text, subtitle, publish_date, a product_info object carrying SKU, retail price, and release date when the article covers a specific release, and a where_to_buy array of named retailers with direct links.
Release Dates and SKU Lookup
The get_sneaker_release_dates endpoint lists upcoming and past releases with name, release_date, sku, price, and image fields, paginated via an optional page parameter. For targeted lookups, get_release_info_by_sku accepts an exact sku string such as 'IH1117-002' and an optional region filter. The response surfaces product_name, release_date, release_time (null when not explicitly stated on the source page), earliest_us_release_time, a retailers array with per-retailer release times and buy URLs, and a source_url pointing to the originating article.
Ad Slot Inventory
The get_ad_slot_inventory endpoint accepts any sneakernews.com page URL and returns a structured ad audit: total_ad_slots, above_fold_count, sticky_unit_count, ad_density rated as 'low', 'medium', or 'high', word_count of main content, an ad_slots_per_1000_words ratio, a full_slot_inventory array with per-slot id, slot_name, atf, sticky, and approx_vertical_pos attributes, and a reader_experience_risk array of flagged conditions. The page_type field distinguishes homepage from article-page audits.
The Sneaker News API is a managed, monitored endpoint for sneakernews.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when sneakernews.com 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 sneakernews.com 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.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Track daily sneaker news headlines and hot scores to build a curated feed or newsletter digest.
- Look up release dates and retailer buy links by SKU for a sneaker release calendar app.
- Aggregate
where_to_buyretailer links from article detail pages to compare availability across launches. - Monitor
ad_slots_per_1000_wordsratios across SneakerNews articles for publisher ad-density benchmarking. - Search articles by brand keyword and paginate results to build a historical archive of Nike or Jordan coverage.
- Extract
product_infofields (SKU, retail price, release date) from articles to populate a product database. - Detect sticky and above-fold ad unit counts across page types for programmatic inventory analysis.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 200 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
| Team | $300/mo | 20,000 | 300 req/min |
| Company | $1,000/mo | 100,000 | 500 req/min |
Each endpoint has a fixed posted price per successful call — most fall between 1 and 10 credits — shown on this API's page before you run it. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does SneakerNews have an official developer API?+
What does `get_release_info_by_sku` return when a release time isn't listed on the article?+
release_time and earliest_us_release_time fields are returned as null when no explicit drop time appears on the source article. The retailers array may also have null release_time entries per retailer in that case. The release_date field, sourced from product metadata rather than the article publish date, is returned separately and is populated whenever available.Does `get_latest_news` support pagination to retrieve older homepage articles?+
get_latest_news returns only the current homepage set, typically 5 to 10 articles, with no pagination parameter. For broader article retrieval, search_articles supports a page integer and accepts any keyword query. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a category or archive browsing endpoint.Does the API expose resale prices or StockX/GOAT secondary market data for the sneakers it covers?+
price and release_date from SneakerNews release pages, plus retailer buy links from where_to_buy and get_release_info_by_sku. Secondary market values from resale platforms are not included. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint pulling from a resale data source.Is `get_ad_slot_inventory` limited to a specific page type on SneakerNews?+
page_type field in the response distinguishes between them. Analysis outside sneakernews.com URLs is not in scope for this endpoint.
