}About the knowde.com API
The Knowde API exposes 11 endpoints for querying the Knowde chemical ingredient marketplace, covering products, suppliers, brands, formulations, and documents. Starting with search_products, you can retrieve product names, slugs, descriptions, chemical properties, and filter metadata in a single paginated response. Supplier storefronts, brand details, industry categories, and specific TDS/SDS documents are each accessible through dedicated endpoints, making the dataset suitable for chemical sourcing, product discovery, and competitive intelligence workflows.
Product and Supplier Search
The search_products endpoint accepts a query string (e.g. 'fumed silica') and an optional page integer, returning a dehydratedState object whose queries array contains SERP results with name, slug, company_slug, description, chemical properties, and associated filter/category metadata. The slug and company_slug values from those results feed directly into get_product_details, which requires both a storefront and a product_slug to return full chemical property sheets, related documents, formulation references, and brand/company info.
search_suppliers and get_supplier_storefront give access to the supplier dimension: search by name or keyword, then pull a full storefront using the storefront_slug to retrieve the supplier's description, top brands, featured products, and expert contacts. get_brand_details takes a brand_slug and a storefront slug to return the brand's full product list, properties, related formulations, and documents.
Formulations, Documents, and Categories
search_formulations and search_documents both accept query and optional page inputs and return paginated results for formulation records (e.g. serum recipes, moisturizer formulas) and technical documents (TDS, SDS, application notes) respectively. get_formulation_details resolves a specific formulation using storefront and formulation_slug slugs discovered from search results.
list_industries and list_product_categories require no inputs and return hierarchical tree structures: industry markets with title, slug, icon, image_url, results_count, and hub_page_path for each node, and the same shape for technology/product categories. These trees are useful for building category-filtered browsing UIs or understanding Knowde's classification scheme before issuing more targeted product searches.

Does Knowde offer an official developer API?+
What does `get_product_details` return beyond what `search_products` already provides?+
search_products returns summary fields — name, slug, company_slug, description, and filter metadata. get_product_details goes further: it includes the full chemical property sheet, related documents (TDS, SDS), associated formulations, and detailed brand and company info within the dehydratedState response object.Can I retrieve product pricing or availability data from Knowde?+
How does pagination work across the search endpoints?+
search_products, search_suppliers, search_brands, search_formulations, and search_documents — accept an optional page integer. Results are returned inside the dehydratedState.queries array. If page is omitted, the first page is returned by default.Are supplier contact details (email, phone) exposed through the API?+
get_supplier_storefront does surface 'experts' metadata linked to a storefront, but direct contact fields like email or phone are not included in the response. The API covers storefront descriptions, top brands, and featured products. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting contact-level data if Knowde exposes it.
