What people build with the Blinkit Category API
Assortment gaps

Everything you can send in one category call. Required inputs first.
| Input | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| category * | string | The top-level aisle as the app names it ("Dairy, Bread & Eggs"). ≤80 chars |
| subCategory * | string | The shelf inside it, again as the app names it ("Milk"). Both are required: the listing is one shelf at one store. ≤80 chars |
| store.storeId | string | The dark store's own id, when a previous answer or a store URL gave you one. The most exact way to name a store; wins over the others. |
| store.city | string | The city the pincode is in ("Agra"). Helps the pincode resolve to the right store; ignored when storeId or lat/lon are given. |
| store.pincode | string | A 6-digit Indian postal code ("282003"); the nearest serving store is used. Give city too when the pincode is ambiguous. |
| store.lat | integer | Latitude in decimal degrees, with lon: the store serving that point. |
| store.lon | integer | Longitude in decimal degrees; only read together with lat. |
| limit | integer | 1-100 |
What comes back
The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.
A sample answer
Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.
| productName | brand | price | mrp | discountPct | packSize |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Paneer | Dairyfield | 90 | 95 | 5 | 200 g |
| Greek Yogurt, Plain | Cultura | 60 | 65 | 8 | 100 g |
| Salted Butter | Dairyfield | 58 | 58 | 0 | 100 g |
Pricing
Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.
| Request | Records | At the list price |
|---|---|---|
| One product | 1 | $0.0009 |
| 10 products | 10 | $0.009 |
| A full page | 100 | $0.09 |
These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself
- No login, no Blinkit account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
- When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
- A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

Questions people ask.
What does the Blinkit Category API return?
One row per product on the shelf, in order: name, brand, price, MRP, discount percent, pack size, in-stock flag, category, rank, rating and rating count, product and store ids, images and the product URL.
What do I pass in?
A category and a subCategory exactly as the app names them, for example "Atta, Rice & Dal" and "Atta", one store, and a limit of up to a hundred products. Both names are required and must belong together.
What if the category name is wrong?
A name that is not on the app's menu is refused and nothing is charged.
How much does it cost?
$0.0009 per product at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true: the quote is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.
Try it in a minute. $0.10 free.
The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.
Why people pick API for Agents
- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
