7NOW API endpoint
Use Crawlora's 7NOW Category API to extract supported public 7NOW data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/7now/categoryReturns one 7NOW store's top-level category broken into its real subcategory groups (e.g. Fresh Food -> Pizza, Wings & Chicken Bites, Subs & Sandwiches, ...), each with its own paginated, priced item list and live availability, plus a category-wide availability summary. Complements GET /7now/catalog, whose per-category section is a single flat list -- this is the same data organized the way 7now.com's own category page groups it. store_id comes from GET /7now/stores and category_id from GET /7now/categories -- which accepts both the store's permanent departments and the merchandising shelves its homepage features, since 7NOW uses one parameter for two id spaces. An invalid or empty category_id returns a normal 200 with an empty subcategories array, not an error. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|

| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
