IKEA API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Discover IKEA category keys API to extract supported public IKEA 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.
/ikea/categoriesReturns a page of IKEA's full category taxonomy, sourced from IKEA's own site navigation data: every top-level department and nested subcategory, with the key each one uses as ikea_category's own category input. key is IKEA's own category key (numeric, e.g. 20649, or a short alphanumeric department code, e.g. st001). parent_key is the immediate parent category's own key (empty for a top-level department); level is depth in the taxonomy tree, starting at 1. q optionally filters by a case-insensitive substring of name. 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.
