What is the BurdaStyle API?
The BurdaStyle API provides structured access to sewing patterns, magazines, blog posts, and subscription plans across 7 endpoints. The get_pattern_detail endpoint returns per-pattern data including SKU, price, difficulty attributes, available PDF format types, and a material consumption table. You can also search patterns by keyword, browse category taxonomies, and retrieve current subscription plan details.

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 BurdaStyle API
Pattern Browsing and Search
The get_patterns_list endpoint returns paginated pattern listings filtered by category (women, men, kids, free, easy), level (1–5 difficulty), and sort order (new, price, name). Each item in the items array includes name, url, price, image, and an is_new flag. The total_count field tells you the total number of matching patterns, useful for building pagination controls. search_patterns works the same way but accepts a query string, letting you find patterns by keyword such as "dress" or "blouse".
Pattern Detail
Pass any pattern's full URL to get_pattern_detail to retrieve the complete record: sku, name, image, price, description, a structured attributes object (brand, sizes, level, and similar key-value pairs), a categories array, the pdf_link_types available for download, and a material_consumption table represented as an array of row arrays. This is the primary endpoint if you need to display or index full pattern specs.
Categories, Magazines, Blog, and Subscriptions
get_pattern_categories returns the full navigation taxonomy — category names, URLs, and nested subcategories — without requiring any input. get_magazines_list is paginated and accepts a brand slug; the confirmed working value is burda-style. get_blog_posts returns post title and url for recent BurdaStyle editorial content. get_subscriptions returns all available plan objects, each with name, description, price, url, and image.
The BurdaStyle API is a managed, monitored endpoint for burdastyle.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when burdastyle.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 burdastyle.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.

Does BurdaStyle have an official developer API?+
What does `get_pattern_detail` return beyond basic listing data?+
get_pattern_detail returns fields not present in list or search results: sku, description, a structured attributes object (brand, sizes, difficulty level, and similar), categories array, pdf_link_types (the available PDF format options), and a material_consumption table as an array of row arrays. You pass the full pattern URL as the required url input.Are there any known limitations with the `get_magazines_list` endpoint?+
burda-style brand slug is confirmed to return results. Other brand slug values may return errors. When in doubt, omit the brand parameter or use burda-style explicitly.Does the API expose user reviews or community ratings for patterns?+
Can I filter patterns by specific size range or fabric type?+
category, level, sort, page, and limit, but not by size range or fabric type directly. Size and fabric information appears in the attributes object returned by get_pattern_detail for individual patterns. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add server-side filtering on those attribute fields.
