Chewy API endpoint
Returns Chewy's own search-box typeahead result for a partial query term: search-term suggestions (some resolving directly to a category/brand browse URL via their own url field) plus a handful of educational-content article suggestions. term is a partial query, e.g. "salmon dog" or "blue buff". Omit term entirely to get what Chewy shows on an empty search box instead: its current Popular Searches (each resolving to a category or brand listing) and Popular Articles.
/chewy/suggestOmit term entirely to get what Chewy shows on an empty search box
instead: its current Popular Searches and Popular Articles. This is the same
upstream call with no prefix, so it costs no more than a normal typeahead
lookup.
Notable response behavior:
suggestions[].url is present only when Chewy resolves that specific term suggestion directly to a category/brand browse page rather than leaving it as a plain keyword.redirect_url is present only when the whole term itself resolves directly to a category/brand browse page (e.g. puppy resolving to its own shop page).articles are Chewy's own /education/... guide suggestions shown alongside term suggestions; omitted when none are returned.term, suggestions[] are Chewy's current Popular Searches -- most carry a url resolving to a category or brand listing -- and articles[] are its Popular Articles. term comes back empty in that mode.term still returns Chewy's own best-effort fuzzy/prefix suggestions rather than an empty list.| Field | Filled in, of 3 checked | Values in the sample |
