Search Ferguson's catalog and retrieve product details including price, specs, availability, and ratings for plumbing, HVAC, and building supplies.
What is the Ferguson API?
The Ferguson API provides 2 endpoints to search and retrieve product data from Ferguson.com, one of the largest plumbing, HVAC, and building supply distributors in the US. Use search_products to query the catalog and get paginated listings with brand, title, and part numbers, or call get_product_details with a Ferguson item number to pull full product data across more than 10 fields including price, description, images, and customer rating.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Ferguson API
Search the Ferguson Catalog
The search_products endpoint accepts a query string (for example, 'bathroom faucet' or 'water heater') and returns paginated product summaries. Each result includes a product id, brand, title, part_number, item_number, manufacturer_part_number, url, and image_url. Use page and page_size (up to 96 per page) to paginate through results, and check total_products to understand the full result count for a given query.
Full Product Details
The get_product_details endpoint takes a Ferguson product_id (the numeric id field returned by search_products) and returns a complete product record. Response fields include name, brand, price, currency, description, images (an array of image URLs), part_number, and a rating object with both rating and best_rating values. This is where you retrieve specification data and pricing for a specific SKU.
Part Number Coverage
Each product in the catalog exposes three distinct part number fields: part_number (Ferguson's internal number), item_number, and manufacturer_part_number. This makes it straightforward to cross-reference Ferguson SKUs against manufacturer catalogs or other distributor systems without additional lookups.
The Ferguson API is a managed, monitored endpoint for ferguson.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when ferguson.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 ferguson.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.

- Populate an internal procurement catalog with Ferguson SKUs, manufacturer part numbers, and images using search_products.
- Monitor price changes on specific Ferguson items by polling get_product_details with known product IDs.
- Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers from Ferguson listings against other supplier systems to find alternatives.
- Aggregate product images and descriptions for a building supply content site using the images and description fields.
- Build a search interface for trade professionals that surfaces Ferguson item numbers and availability data.
- Validate product catalog data by comparing Ferguson part_number and manufacturer_part_number fields against internal records.
