What is the Gulfood API?
The Gulfood API provides 8 endpoints covering the full Gulfood 2026 exhibitor directory, including company profiles, products, brands, and press releases. The get_exhibitor_detail endpoint returns stand location, website, description, and social media links for any exhibitor. The export_all_exhibitors endpoint compiles full detail records across the directory in a single call, making bulk data collection straightforward.

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.
- Fully typed · autocompletes
- Objects link to objects
- Typed errors & pagination
Typed Python client. Set up the SDK in your uv project, then pull this API’s typed client:

}About the Gulfood API
Exhibitor Directory
The get_exhibitor_list endpoint returns paginated sets of 16 exhibitors and supports six filter parameters: query for keyword search, letter for alphabetical browsing, country for one or more country IDs, category for sector filtering, venue for hall-specific results, and offset for pagination. Each result includes the exhibitor's name, slug, stand, country, logo, and sector_icon. The total field indicates the full match count, though it may be null when pagination metadata is unavailable. search_exhibitors is a dedicated keyword-search shortcut that wraps the same underlying filter and returns the same response shape.
Exhibitor Detail and Bulk Export
get_exhibitor_detail accepts an exhibitor slug from list results and returns the full company profile: description, website, stand, country, logo, and a social_links object with optional keys for facebook, twitter, linkedin, and instagram. For bulk use cases, export_all_exhibitors accepts a limit parameter and returns a combined dataset that merges list-level summary fields with full detail fields for each exhibitor. Because this endpoint fetches details sequentially, response time scales with the number of records requested.
Products, Brands, and Press Releases
get_products_list and get_brands_list each accept an optional query and offset, returning arrays of objects with name, exhibitor, and image. Note that the exhibitor field is typically null in brand entries. get_press_releases_list follows the same pattern, returning title, exhibitor, and image per entry. All three support broad keyword matching and paginate in groups of 16.
Sectors and Venues
get_key_sectors requires no inputs and returns a flat array of 15 sector objects, each with a name and associated venue. This is useful for mapping category or venue IDs used as filter parameters in get_exhibitor_list.
The Gulfood API is a managed, monitored endpoint for gulfood.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when gulfood.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 gulfood.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.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+

- Monitor press releases from Gulfood exhibitors to track new product announcements in the food and beverage industry.
- Export full exhibitor profiles including website and social media links for CRM enrichment or lead generation.
- Map stand locations and hall assignments by querying exhibitor
standfields for event navigation apps. - Aggregate brand listings by sector to analyze market representation across Gulfood's 15 exhibition sectors.
- Cross-reference exhibitor product listings with brand data to identify which companies are launching new products.
- Filter exhibitors by venue to generate hall-specific attendee guides or printed directories.

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 Gulfood have an official developer API?+
What does get_exhibitor_detail return beyond what the list endpoint provides?+
get_exhibitor_list returns summary fields: name, slug, stand, country, logo, and sector_icon. get_exhibitor_detail adds the full company description, website URL, and a social_links object containing any available Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram profile URLs.Are exhibitor contact details like email addresses or phone numbers available?+
How does pagination work across the directory endpoints?+
offset parameter in multiples of 16 to step through pages. The total field in exhibitor list responses indicates the full match count but may return null if the source page does not include that metadata.
