Costco API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Costco product reviews API to extract supported public Costco 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.
/costco/product/{id}/reviewsReturns a page of a Costco product's reviews: title, text, rating, author, and recommendation for each. Public data sourced from Costco's own review platform. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| id (path) | string | Yes | Costco product id, e.g. from a search result's id field | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/costco/product/example/reviews" \ -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 |
| Enterprise | $499/mo | 5,000,000 | No daily cap | 1,000/min | $0.12/1,000 overage credits |
This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `average_rating` is computed from the returned page of reviews, not Costco's own site-wide aggregate — for the full aggregate, use `rating`/`rating_count` on [`/costco/product/{id}`](costco-product.md). - `total_count` is the total number of reviews available for the product, independent of how many are returned in this page. - A missing `id` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "product_id": "4000354684", "total_count": 67, "average_rating": 4.5, "reviews": [ { "id": "243309305", "title": "Flawless Delivery and Great Refrigerator!", "text": "Delivery was perfect! They were 15 min early...", "rating": 5, "author": "delisa80", "recommended": true, "submitted_at": "2025-07-15T16:34:05.000+00:00" } ] } } ```
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.
