Slickdeals API endpoint

Slickdeals Deal API

Returns one Slickdeals deal thread's full detail: title, store, final/list price, community vote score, comment count, whether the deal is marked expired, the deal's product category and taxonomy (category/sub_category/category_paths, and separately the legacy forum/forum_id the thread was posted under), the public Slickdeals username who posted it ("found by" attribution) with a public community-standing summary (reputation, join date, deals posted, total votes/comments), a related_deals sidebar (Slickdeals' own Popular/Trending picks), the outbound merchant link, and the deal's own description. Give either url (the exact value returned by GET /slickdeals/search) or thread_id (Slickdeals' own numeric thread id, e.g. from a deal's URL path /f/{thread_id}-...); at least one is required. An unknown or removed deal returns 404.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (optional) — a full Slickdeals deal URL, exactly as returned by GET /slickdeals/search's url field (https://slickdeals.net/f/...).
thread_id (optional) — Slickdeals' own numeric thread id (from a deal URL's own /f/{thread_id}-... path, or from /slickdeals/search's thread_id field).

Response fields:

thread_id, title, url — the deal's canonical identity.
forum, forum_id — Slickdeals' own legacy sub-forum the thread was posted in (e.g. Hot Deals). This is a different, coarser taxonomy from category/sub_category below — Slickdeals maintains both in parallel.
category, sub_category, category_paths — Slickdeals' modern product-category taxonomy for the deal (e.g. Computers / Laptops / ["Computers > Laptops", "Computers"]).
brand, store — the deal's brand and merchant, when Slickdeals attaches them.
final_price, list_price — the deal price and the original/list price, USD.
vote_score — the community "thumb" vote score (can be negative).
comment_count — number of comments on the thread.
is_expired — whether the deal is marked expired.
found_by (optional) — the public Slickdeals username who posted the deal.
posted_at (optional) — when the deal was posted.
deal_url (optional) — Slickdeals' own outbound/affiliate redirect to the merchant's page for this deal.
cta_text (optional) — Slickdeals' own call-to-action label (e.g. Get Deal at eBay).
description_html / description — the deal post's own body content, as HTML and as cleaned plain text.
image_urls — the deal's attached image URLs.
related_deals (optional) — Slickdeals' own "Popular Deals"/"Trending Deals" sidebar shown alongside this thread, read from the same page fetch at no additional upstream cost. Each entry has thread_id, title, url, final_price, list_price, vote_score, comment_count, found_by, posted_at, and source (popular or trending). Pair a related_deals entry's thread_id/url with this same endpoint for its own full detail.
found_by_profile (optional) — a public summary of the found_by user's Slickdeals community standing, read from the same page fetch at no additional upstream cost: user_id, reputation, join_date, deals_posted, total_votes, total_comments, and avatar_url.
