}About the fortnine.ca API
The FortNine.ca API exposes 8 endpoints covering Canada's largest powersports retailer, returning product listings, detailed specs, customer reviews, variant options, and vehicle fitment data. Use search_products to query the full catalog by keyword with relevance-ranked results, or get_product_detail to pull structured descriptions, features, and grouped specifications for any individual product. All responses return JSON.
Product Search and Category Browsing
search_products accepts a query string (e.g. 'AGV', 'heated gloves') and returns paginated results with each product's name, sku, brand, price, price_formatted, image, rating, reviews_count, is_sale, and discount_perce. Results are 0-indexed via the page param and include total_hits and total_pages for cursor management. get_category_products works differently: it takes a hyphenated slug like 'motorcycle-helmets' and pages using a 1-indexed page param, returning total_products alongside the product array.
Product Detail, Variants, and Reviews
get_product_detail returns a full product record by URL slug, including a description string, a flat features array, an item_number, and a specifications object keyed by section name — useful for structured comparison tables. The product_id field (format: conf.CM<digits>) is the key that feeds into both get_product_reviews and get_product_variants. get_product_reviews returns each review's rating, title, text, user, date, is_recommended, and helpful_votes, plus a product_stats block with AverageOverallRating, TotalReviewCount, and RatingDistribution. get_product_variants returns color/size attributes with their option arrays and swatches with per-swatch image URLs.
Brands and Vehicle Fitment
list_brands returns every brand on FortNine as name and slug pairs — useful for building filter UIs or brand-scoped search loops. The vehicle fitment chain starts with get_vehicle_makes, which takes a year string and returns make name and id pairs. Pass a make_id from that response into get_vehicle_models alongside the same year to get the model list. These two endpoints together let you construct year/make/model selectors matching FortNine's compatibility filter.
- Build a Canadian powersports price tracker by polling
search_productsfor specific brands and monitoring thepriceandis_salefields over time. - Generate structured product comparison pages using
get_product_detailspecificationssections for helmets or jackets across multiple SKUs. - Aggregate review sentiment for a brand's product line by looping
get_product_reviewsacross all matching SKUs and summarizingratingandis_recommendedvalues. - Populate a vehicle fitment selector UI using the
get_vehicle_makesandget_vehicle_modelschain for any model year. - Build a brand directory or navigation index from
list_brandsslugs, then feed each slug intoget_category_productsto enumerate brand-level inventory. - Feed a recommendation engine with
get_product_variantsswatch and attribute data to surface available colors and sizes before a user clicks through.
| 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 FortNine have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_product_detail` return beyond basic pricing?+
get_product_detail returns a description string, a flat features array, an item_number, and a specifications object where each key is a section name (e.g. 'Shell', 'Liner') and each value is an array of spec strings. It also returns the product_id in conf.CM<digits> format, which you need to call get_product_reviews or get_product_variants.Does the API return inventory levels or in-stock status?+
How does pagination differ between `search_products` and `get_category_products`?+
search_products uses 0-indexed pagination via the page param and returns total_hits and total_pages. get_category_products is 1-indexed and returns total_products and total_pages. The two endpoints use different page-number conventions, so do not assume they are interchangeable when building paging logic.Does the vehicle fitment data include parts compatibility — which products fit a given make and model?+
get_vehicle_makes and get_vehicle_models return the year/make/model hierarchy for building fitment selectors, but there is no endpoint that maps a specific vehicle back to compatible product SKUs. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a fitment-based product lookup endpoint.
