}About the sneakernews.com API
The Sneaker News API covers 5 endpoints that expose article feeds, full article content, keyword search, sneaker release calendars, and per-page ad slot analysis from sneakernews.com. The get_sneaker_release_dates endpoint returns structured release objects including SKU, retail price, image, and release date, while get_article_detail surfaces full article text alongside product metadata and retailer "Where to Buy" links when available.
Article Data
The get_latest_news endpoint returns the homepage article feed as an array of article objects, each including title, url, excerpt, author, publish_date, categories, thumbnail, and a hot_score engagement signal. The search_articles endpoint accepts a required query string — supporting multi-word phrases like nike dunk or jordan retro — and an optional page integer for paginating through results. Both endpoints return the same article object shape, making it straightforward to merge results from different sources.
Article Detail and Product Metadata
get_article_detail takes a full article URL and returns the complete article content, subtitle, publish_date, and author, plus two product-specific fields: product_info (an object containing keys like SKU, RETAIL PRICE, and RELEASE DATE when the article covers a specific release) and where_to_buy (an array of retailer objects each with a retailer name and link URL). Both product_info and where_to_buy may be empty for editorial or non-product articles.
Release Calendar
get_sneaker_release_dates returns paginated release objects with name, url, release_date, sku, price, and image. The page parameter controls pagination for both upcoming and past releases. This endpoint is the primary source for structured release schedule data without needing to parse individual article pages.
Ad Slot Analysis
get_ad_slot_inventory accepts a full sneakernews.com url and returns a detailed breakdown of ad presence on that page. Response fields include total_ad_slots, above_fold_count, sticky_unit_count, ad_density (rated low, medium, or high), word_count, ad_slots_per_1000_words, a full_slot_inventory array with per-slot metadata (id, slot_name, atf, sticky, approx_vertical_pos, timing), and a reader_experience_risk array of indicator strings. The page_type field distinguishes between home and post pages.

Does Sneaker News have an official developer API?+
What does `get_article_detail` return for articles that aren't about a specific sneaker release?+
product_info returns an empty object and where_to_buy returns an empty array. The core fields — title, author, content, publish_date, and subtitle — are always present regardless of article type.Does the release dates endpoint include resale or secondary market pricing?+
get_sneaker_release_dates returns the price field reflecting retail pricing as listed on the release page — not resale or aftermarket values. Secondary market price tracking is not currently covered by this API. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add an endpoint targeting resale data sources.Can I filter `get_latest_news` results by category or brand?+
get_latest_news returns the full homepage feed with categories included in each article object, but the endpoint takes no filter parameters. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add category or brand filtering as an input parameter.How granular is the ad slot data from `get_ad_slot_inventory`?+
full_slot_inventory includes a slot id, slot_name, a boolean atf flag for above-the-fold placement, a sticky flag for adhesion units, an approx_vertical_pos value, and a timing field. The top-level ad_density field summarizes the page as low, medium, or high, and reader_experience_risk lists any detected risk indicators in plain strings.
