}About the stacksocial.com API
The StackSocial API exposes 8 endpoints covering deal search, collection browsing, product details, user reviews, and related product recommendations from StackSocial's marketplace. The get_product_detail endpoint returns full deal data including current price, original price, discount percentage, price-drop deadline, rating, and review count — giving developers structured access to the deals catalog without manual site navigation.
Search and Browse Deals
The search_deals endpoint accepts a query string (e.g. 'VPN', 'AI tools', 'productivity') and an optional limit, returning an array of deal objects sorted by best sellers. Each item includes id, name, title, slug, price, original_price, discount_percentage, rating, review_count, and categories. The get_collection endpoint lets you page through named collections using a slug parameter — standard slugs include 'lifetime-deals', 'apps-software-business', and 'memberships' — and returns collection_name, an items array, and a page_info object for pagination.
Product Details and Reviews
get_product_detail takes a product slug and returns the full deal record, including price_drop_ends_at — a field that indicates when a time-limited discount expires. This is useful for building deal-alert workflows. get_product_reviews returns an array of review objects per product, each with reviewer, rating, text, and date. The optional limit param controls how many reviews are fetched.
Specialized Collections and Recommendations
Three convenience endpoints — get_lifetime_deals, get_business_software_deals, and get_memberships — are pre-scoped to their respective collections and accept only a page parameter, making them straightforward to poll for category-specific deal feeds. get_related_products returns up to 6 related deals for a given product slug, each with name, slug, price, original_price, and discount_percentage, suitable for building recommendation sidebars or cross-sell logic.
- Build a deal-alert bot that monitors
price_drop_ends_atfromget_product_detailand notifies users before discounts expire. - Aggregate lifetime software deals using
get_lifetime_dealsto power a curated newsletter or RSS feed. - Compare user sentiment by pulling
ratingandreview_countacrosssearch_dealsresults for a given software category. - Populate a recommendation widget using
get_related_productsfor a given product slug. - Track discount depth over time by storing
price,original_price, anddiscount_percentagefrom periodicget_collectioncalls. - Build a membership-deal tracker by polling
get_membershipsand filtering by review count or rating threshold. - Surface business software alternatives by searching competitors' product names via
search_dealsand comparing pricing fields.

Does StackSocial have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_product_detail` return beyond basic pricing?+
price and original_price, the endpoint returns discount_percentage, price_drop_ends_at (the expiry timestamp for time-limited price drops), rating, review_count, categories, and variant information. The slug is the required input.Does the API expose individual deal variants or bundle options?+
get_product_detail endpoint includes variant data in its response object. However, variant-level pricing breakdowns as separate filterable fields are not currently surfaced as distinct top-level fields across all endpoints. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to expose variant pricing as individual response fields.Is there a way to filter `search_deals` by category or price range?+
search_deals endpoint currently accepts query and limit as inputs. Filtering by category slug or price range is not currently supported as a query parameter. Each result does include a categories field, so client-side filtering is possible. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add category or price-range filter parameters.How fresh is the deal and pricing data?+
price_drop_ends_at and current price are pulled on each call, so polling at a reasonable interval is advisable for deal-monitoring use cases. Historical price tracking is not built into the API — it covers current state only.
