Hermes API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Hermès category API to extract supported public Hermes 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.
/hermes/categoryBrowses one Hermès product category and returns a page of normalized products (SKU, title, price with currency, colour, size, stock, images) plus the facet groups Hermès offers for that category, and the category's own title and description. The category parameter takes a category code from hermes-categories, which is the discovery endpoint for every accepted value. Page size is fixed at 48 by Hermès and cannot be changed. Prices are returned with the ISO-4217 currency for the selected market, since Hermès itself publishes bare numbers. 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.

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 |

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- **Page 1 is fully validated; pages beyond 1 are best-effort and should be treated as provisional.** Hermès gates the paginated URL shape harder than the bare one — its own `robots.txt` disallows the parameter that carries the offset, so those URLs are never edge-cached and always reach the origin's bot defense. Measured on cold categories: page 1 passed 10/10 while page 2 was blocked 10/10 in the same run on the same backends. When a page beyond 1 cannot be fetched the endpoint returns an upstream error rather than silently returning page 1 again. - **Page size is fixed at 48 by Hermès and cannot be changed.** `page_size` always reports 48. `total` is the full result count, so the last page may hold fewer than 48 products and a page past the end returns an empty `products` array with the real `total` still reported. - `price` is a bare number as Hermès publishes it; `currency` is the ISO-4217 code for the selected market, so prices from different markets are not silently comparable. - `in_stock` is online availability; `in_store` reports that Hermès shows the item as available in its physical stores. Many Hermès pieces are listed but not purchasable online. - `size` is empty for items Hermès marks as having no size. - `filters` are the facet groups Hermès itself offers for this category. They are informational — this endpoint does not currently accept facet filters as inputs.

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.
