Access Starken Chile's flat shipping rates, 2000+ localities, branch locations with hours, and quote session UUIDs via 4 structured API endpoints.
No input parameters required.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/29a575f3-9cc1-4d94-aaac-0498c483e731/get_simple_rates' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Get simple flat shipping rates (Tarifa Simple) with base rates organized by zone, delivery type, and package size. Returns pricing in Chilean pesos for all combinations of delivery type (sucursal/domicilio), zone tier (persona/colina/montana/cordillera), destination area (misma_ciudad/norte/centro_sur/austral), and package size (xs/s/m/l).

}About the starken.cl API
The Starken Chile API exposes 4 endpoints covering the full reference dataset needed to build shipping integrations against Starken's platform. get_simple_rates returns Tarifa Simple rate tables in Chilean pesos across all zone tiers and delivery types, while get_locations returns over 2,000 localities grouped by region with service level and payment method details. get_branches provides branch locations with operating hours, coordinates, and dimension limits.
Rate and Zone Data
get_simple_rates returns a structured breakdown of Starken's Tarifa Simple flat rates. The response includes rates_by_zone, an object with sucursal (branch pickup) and domicilio (home delivery) keys, each containing arrays of rate objects organized by zone tier — persona, colina, montana, and cordillera. The package_sizes and delivery_types arrays let you enumerate all valid combinations without guessing the schema. All prices are in Chilean pesos.
Locality and Region Coverage
get_locations returns the full list of Starken-served localities in Chile. The total_locations field confirms the count on each response, and by_region groups locations by region ID for easier filtering. Each location object includes id, agency_code, description, city, comuna, delivery_type, and service tier flags (mini, big, giga). This endpoint is the right starting point for validating whether a destination is serviceable before quoting.
Branch Locations
get_branches returns a flattened list of all Starken branches. Each branch object includes id, code, name, address, coordinates, region, city, comuna, type, and horarios — a structured schedule of operating hours by day. Dimension limits are also included, which matters when checking whether an oversized package can be dropped off at a given location. total_branches gives the count for the current response.
Quote Session UUID
get_quote_uuid generates a fresh UUID v4 session identifier returned in the uuid_user field, along with created_at (ISO 8601 timestamp) and last_request (null for a new session). This UUID is the entry point for initiating a quote flow against Starken's platform.
- Display Tarifa Simple shipping costs on a Chilean e-commerce checkout by zone and package size
- Validate whether a customer's destination comuna is serviceable before accepting an order
- Build a branch locator showing operating hours and coordinates for Starken pickup points
- Filter locations by service tier (mini/big/giga) to surface only relevant delivery options for large parcels
- Pre-populate region and locality dropdowns in a shipping form using the structured by_region data
- Check dimension limits per branch before routing oversized shipments to a specific Starken location
- Initiate a quote session programmatically by fetching a UUID before calling downstream Starken quote flows
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 250 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does Starken have an official developer API?+
What does get_locations return beyond just a list of place names?+
agency_code, city, comuna, delivery_type (sucursal or domicilio), accepted payment methods, and service tier flags indicating whether the locality supports mini, big, or giga shipment sizes. Locations are also grouped under by_region keyed by region ID, so you can filter by region without post-processing the full flat list.Can I get a real-time price quote for a specific origin-destination pair?+
get_simple_rates and provides a quote session UUID via get_quote_uuid, but does not expose a parameterized origin-to-destination quote endpoint that returns a live calculated price. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add that missing endpoint.Does the API return shipment tracking or order status information?+
How fresh is the branch and locality data?+
get_branches and get_locations return the full dataset in a single response, so total_branches and total_locations reflect the complete current count on each call.
