If you need an API to extract product price and stock data, the best choice depends on whether you want to:
- Pull data from your own ecommerce system, or
- Scrape competitor/product pages from websites.
Here are the common options:
1) If it’s your own store
Use your platform’s official API:
- Shopify Admin API / Storefront API
- WooCommerce REST API
- BigCommerce API
- Magento / Adobe Commerce API
- PrestaShop API
These usually provide:
- Product price
- Inventory/stock quantity
- Variant-level stock
- SKU, title, availability
2) If you need data from other websites
You can use a scraping/data extraction API, such as:
- Apify
- Zyte
- Bright Data
- ScrapingBee
- Oxylabs
- SerpApi (good for some search/product sources)
- Diffbot (structured extraction)
These can extract:
- Product name
- Current price
- Stock availability
- Variant info
- Product URL
3) If you want a custom API
A typical custom endpoint could look like:
GET /products/{id}/pricing-stock
Response example:
{
"product_id": "12345",
"sku": "ABC-001",
"price": 49.99,
"currency": "USD",
"in_stock": true,
"stock_quantity": 27,
"updated_at": "2026-10-04T10:15:00Z"
}
Recommended approach
- For your own store: use the platform API
- For external sites: use a scraping API
- For large-scale monitoring: use Bright Data / Zyte / Apify / Oxylabs
Important note
If you're extracting from third-party websites, make sure you comply with:
- site terms of service
- robots.txt
- local laws and data access rules
If you want, I can help you with:
- a list of APIs with pricing comparison,
- a sample code integration in Python/Node.js, or
- a custom API design for price + stock extraction.
