If you need an API to extract product price and stock data, the best choice depends on whether you want to:

  1. Pull data from your own ecommerce system, or
  2. 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:

  1. a list of APIs with pricing comparison,
  2. a sample code integration in Python/Node.js, or
  3. a custom API design for price + stock extraction.
