Barcode Lookup API

Integrate your app with our UPC, EAN and ISBN database.

Are you developing a website, desktop or mobile app that needs to pull barcode data and other product information? The Barcode Lookup API makes it easy to integrate our product database with your shopping application, barcode scanning app or inventory management system. Make an API call by sending us a barcode number or search term — that's all there is to it! Our proprietary software returns the product's name, category, description, images, retail pricing and more.

How to make an API call

The API call URL starts with the following:

products?brand=adidas&category=shoes&key=ifD

Add any parameters to the URL, separated by ampersands (&)

Make sure your key is always included at the end of the URL

Search by Term

When you search by term, our API lets you use multiple search parameters at once to narrow down your results. For example, in a single API call you can use the 'Brand', 'Category' and 'MPN' search parameters.
