StockX API endpoint
Use Crawlora's StockX category/subcategory taxonomy API to extract supported public StockX 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.
/stockx/categoriesReturns StockX's full category/subcategory reference: the 7 top-level categories accepted by GET /stockx/search's category parameter, each with its subcategories (e.g. Shoes -> Boots, Cleats, Clogs). Credential-free public data from the same navigation API backing StockX's own site menu. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/stockx/categories" \ -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.
- `categories[].slug` matches `SearchOption.Category`'s allowed values exactly: `sneakers`, `shoes`, `apparel`, `accessories`, `collectibles`, `electronics`, `trading-cards`. - `subcategories` is not currently exposed as a `/stockx/search` filter parameter -- it is reference data for building category-scoped browsing, matching the `https://stockx.com/category/{category}/{subcategory}` URL pattern (e.g. `https://stockx.com/category/shoes/boots`). - Every category currently has at least one subcategory. Confirmed live 2026-08-04 (all values below, category → subcategory slugs): - `sneakers` → `lifestyle`, `luxury`, `performance` - `shoes` → `boots`, `cleats`, `clogs`, `flats`, `heels`, `loafers`, `oxfords`, `sandals`, `slides-and-sandals`, `slippers`, `spikes` - `apparel` → `bottoms`, `other-apparel`, `outerwear`, `tops`, `undergarments` - `accessories` → `bags`, `belts`, `eyewear`, `face-masks`, `headwear`, `home-and-lifestyle`, `jewelry`, `lanyards-and-keychains`, `other-accessories`, `tech-accessories`, `wallets-and-card-holders`, `watches` - `collectibles` → `analog-music`, `comic-books`, `figures`, `food-and-consumer-products`, `homeware`, `other-collectibles`, `pins-and-keychains`, `plushes`, `prints`, `skate-decks`, `sports-equipment`, `toys` - `electronics` → `audio`, `cellphones`, `computer-and-gaming-accessories`, `computer-components`, `gaming-consoles`, `laptops-and-desktops`, `other-electronics`, `small-appliances`, `smart-watches`, `tablets`, `video-games` - `trading-cards` → `sealed-boxes`, `graded-singles`, `ungraded-singles` This set can drift as StockX adds or reorganizes subcategories -- treat it as a snapshot, not a permanently fixed enum, and always prefer the live response over this list. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "categories": [ { "name": "Shoes", "slug": "shoes", "subcategories": [ {"name": "Boots", "slug": "boots"}, {"name": "Cleats", "slug": "cleats"}, {"name": "Sandals", "slug": "sandals"} ] }, { "name": "Trading Cards", "slug": "trading-cards", "subcategories": [ {"name": "Sealed Boxes", "slug": "sealed-boxes"}, {"name": "Graded Singles", "slug": "graded-singles"}, {"name": "Ungraded Singles", "slug": "ungraded-singles"} ] } ] } } ```
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.
