Best Buy API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Best Buy Store Locator API to extract supported public Best Buy 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.
/bestbuy/storesReturns Best Buy's physical store locations in one city (name, address, phone, coordinates, rating, hours), sourced from Best Buy's own SEO store directory. state is one of the 50 US state codes plus dc and pr: `al`, `ak`, `az`, `ar`, `ca`, `co`, `ct`, `de`, `dc`, `fl`, `ga`, `hi`, `id`, `il`, `in`, `ia`, `ks`, `ky`, `la`, `me`, `md`, `ma`, `mi`, `mn`, `ms`, `mo`, `mt`, `ne`, `nv`, `nh`, `nj`, `nm`, `ny`, `nc`, `nd`, `oh`, `ok`, `or`, `pa`, `pr`, `ri`, `sc`, `sd`, `tn`, `tx`, `ut`, `vt`, `va`, `wa`, `wv`, `wi`, `wy`. city is free text matched case-insensitively against that state's own directory (e.g. "Chicago"). 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| state | string | Yes | Two-letter state/territory code | ||
| city | string | Yes | City name | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bestbuy/stores" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Pro | $79/mo | 400,000 | No daily cap | 120/min | $0.30/1,000 overage credits |
| Business | $199/mo | 1,200,000 | No daily cap | 300/min | $0.20/1,000 overage credits |

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `count`/`stores` cover every store in the matched city -- one store for most cities, several for a dense metro (bounded at 20 stores per request). - `hours` maps a full day name (`Monday`..`Sunday`) to that day's opening range (e.g. `"10:00-21:00"`). - A `city` value with no match in that state's directory returns a 404, not an empty `stores` list. - `state` must be one of the enumerated codes above; any other value is a 400. Example response: ```json {"code":200,"msg":"OK","data":{"state":"il","city":"Chicago","count":3,"source_url":"https://stores.bestbuy.com/il/chicago.html","fetched_at":"2026-08-15T10:00:00Z","stores":[{"name":"Best Buy","address":"2100 N Elston Ave","city":"Chicago","state":"IL","postal_code":"60614","country":"US","phone":"(773) 486-0142","latitude":41.919002,"longitude":-87.66959,"rating":4.21,"review_count":3614,"hours":{"Monday":"10:00-21:00","Sunday":"10:00-20:00"},"url":"https://stores.bestbuy.com/il/chicago/2100-n-elston-ave-814.html"}]}} ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 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.
