Ulta Beauty API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Browse an Ulta Beauty category page API to extract supported public Ulta Beauty 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.
/ulta/categoryBrowses an Ulta Beauty category page's product grid, with real page-based pagination and the category's own guided-navigation refinement options. category accepts a category path or full URL copied from Ulta's own site navigation (e.g. shop/makeup/eyes/mascara). filter narrows results using Ulta's own guided-navigation facet-code shape (e.g. BENEFIT--WATERPROOF, or a comma-joined combination of codes) -- discover valid codes for a category from that category's own response facets field, whose value is ready to use directly as this parameter. An unrecognized category returns 404. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | Yes | Ulta category path or URL | ||
| filter | string | No | Guided-navigation facet code(s), comma-joined for multiple | ||
| page | integer | No | 1 | Result page, 1-based, defaults to 1 | |
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/ulta/category?page=1" \ -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.
- Pagination is real and page-based, 64 results per page. `has_more` is the upstream's own genuine "more pages available" marker, the same as `/ulta/search`. - `facets` lists the category's own guided-navigation refinement options (label, a ready-to-use `value`, and whether it is already applied) -- present whenever the upstream returns them. An already-selected facet carries an empty `value`, since the caller already knows they set that filter themselves. - An unrecognized `category` returns `404`. - `list_price`/`sale_price` are Ulta's own display-formatted price strings, the same as `/ulta/search`. Example response: ```json {"code":200,"msg":"OK","data":{"category":"shop/skin-care/cleansers","page":1,"page_size":64,"count":2,"result_count":1161,"has_more":true,"products":[{"product_id":"xlsImpprod5140065","sku_id":"2254420","brand_name":"CeraVe","product_name":"Foaming Facial Cleanser","list_price":"$5.99 - $18.99","rating":4.6,"review_count":19250,"variant_label":"4 sizes","image_url":"https://media.ultainc.com/i/ulta/2254420","url":"https://www.ulta.com/p/foaming-facial-cleanser-xlsImpprod5140065?sku=2254420"}],"facets":[{"label":"Combination Skin Type","value":"SKIN_TYPE--COMBINATION"},{"label":"On Sale","value":"SPECIAL_OFFER--SALE"}],"source_url":"https://www.ulta.com/dxl/graphql?...","fetched_at":"2026-08-11T10:00:00Z"}} ```
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.

#/definitions/ulta.categoryResponseDoc
| Field | Type | Required | Enum | Bounds | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| code | integer | No | 200 | |||
| data | ulta.CategoryResponse | No | ||||
| data.category | string | No | ||||
| data.count | integer | No | ||||
| data.facets | array | No | Facets is the category's own guided-navigation refinement options, read from the same response this package already fetches -- no separate upstream call needed. Confirmed live 2026-08-11 present and non-empty (46 options on an unfiltered category, 17 on a filtered one) on every case tried (unfiltered, filtered, and page 2), so this field is populated whenever the upstream returns it, nil otherwise. Ulta's own guidedNavigation does not carry a live per-option result count (unlike this repo's Nike/Zappos facet shapes), so CategoryFacet has no result-count field. | |||
