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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange Juice, No Added Sugar | Squeezy | 120 | 135 | 11 | 1 L |
| Coconut Water | Tenderco | 60 | 65 | 8 | 200 ml |
| Cold Coffee | Brewlab | 45 | 50 | 10 | 180 ml |
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.
Try it without writing code
Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself
- No login, no Swiggy Instamart 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 Instamart 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 and 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.
