Depop Scraper API

Response notes

- `id` is the item's URL slug (e.g. `ag_boutique-vintage-mid-rise-bootcut-levi-2476`), not a numeric database id — pass it directly as the `slug` path parameter to `/depop/item/{slug}` for full item detail. - `price_cents` and `shipping_cents` are omitted (zero) when Depop's own response doesn't include a parseable amount for that listing. - `like_count` is the listing's like count, requested by default on every search (`0` is omitted from the response, same as other zero-valued optional fields). - `has_more` and `next_cursor` reflect Depop's own pagination state — when `has_more` is `true`, pass `next_cursor` as the following request's `after` value to fetch the next page. `next_cursor` is an opaque string; don't parse it. - A search with no matching listings returns `200` with `"items": []`. - A missing `query` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. - An unrecognized `condition`, `colours`, `sort`, `category`, or `gender` value, a malformed `subcategory`, `brand_ids`, or `sizes` entry, or `price_min` greater than `price_max` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "query": "nike jacket", "total_results": 90627, "has_more": true, "next_cursor": "MnwyNHwxNzg1OTUzNjM1.BOOSTED_EXHAUSTED.0", "items": [ { "id": "harsisonmn-nike-virginia-tech-track-and-27fc", "url": "https://www.depop.com/products/harsisonmn-nike-virginia-tech-track-and-27fc/", "title": "Nike College Track and Field black windbreaker jacket #trackandfield", "description": "Nike College Track and Field black windbreaker jacket #trackandfield\n\nNike womens medium jacket, #trackandfield\n#nike #jacket", "brand_name": "Nike", "condition": "used_excellent", "colours": ["black"], "price_cents": 800, "currency": "USD", "shipping_cents": 199, "thumbnail_url": "https://media-photos.depop.com/r1/329377772/4357366076_0948c314910046e9946f466fc1d87e70/P0.jpg", "photos": [ "https://media-photos.depop.com/r1/329377772/4357366076_0948c314910046e9946f466fc1d87e70/P0.jpg" ], "sizes": ["M"], "location": "Charlotte, United States", "like_count": 3 } ] } } ```

Response notes

- `title` is the item's description text up to its first line break — Depop does not expose a separate, shorter title field; `description` is the full text. - `seller` (username, id, verification status, display name, avatar) is only available on this endpoint, not on `/depop/search`'s listing summaries. - `similar_items` is populated when the item page has a "Similar items" carousel, using the same shape as `/depop/search`'s listing summaries. Omitted (not an empty array) when the page doesn't have one. A separate "More from this seller" carousel is also visible on Depop's own item page but isn't included here — it loads via a client-side-only fetch this endpoint doesn't reproduce. For a richer, paginated (up to 150 results) similar-items lookup, use [`GET /depop/item/{slug}/similar`](depop-item-similar.md) instead. - An unknown or delisted item slug returns `404`. - A missing `slug` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "id": "ag_boutique-vintage-mid-rise-bootcut-levi-2476", "url": "https://www.depop.com/products/ag_boutique-vintage-mid-rise-bootcut-levi-2476/", "title": "Vintage Mid rise Bootcut Levi Jeans", "description": "Vintage Mid rise Bootcut Levi Jeans\nSize 6 (28-30 inch waist) They are mid rise *not low rise*\nInseam: 31 inches\n#Levis #flare", "brand_name": "Levi's", "condition": "used_like_new", "colours": ["blue", "navy"], "price_cents": 1500, "original_price_cents": 1800, "currency": "USD", "shipping_cents": 399, "photos": [ "https://media-photos.depop.com/b1/42916032/4363725919_6c94f1277d5b4ba4890ff74980b79b23/P0.jpg" ], "location": "Monroe, United States", "sizes": ["6"], "seller": { "id": 42916032, "username": "ac_boutique", "verified": false, "first_name": "Alaina", "picture_url": "https://media-photos.depop.com/b1/42916032/3675424939_2e6b5627f8084c269b32054ed071f56e/U1.jpg" }, "similar_items": [ { "id": "lsamcminn-vintage-inspired-levis-superlow-flare-jeans-bb57", "url": "https://www.depop.com/products/lsamcminn-vintage-inspired-levis-superlow-flare-jeans-bb57/", "title": "Vintage-inspired Levi's Superlow Flare jeans in a light wash", "brand_name": "Levi's", "condition": "used_good", "colours": ["blue"], "price_cents": 1700, "currency": "USD", "shipping_cents": 399, "thumbnail_url": "https://media-photos.depop.com/r1/39600511/4353764468_d4c5a9c42c714b679ae7e63f9c9ee22d/P0.jpg", "location": "Santa Rosa, United States" } ] } } ```

Response notes

- This endpoint parses the shop page's rendered HTML, not a JSON API (none was found for per-seller listings) — so each item in `items` is a lighter shape than `/depop/search`'s: no brand, condition, colour, description, or size, since the shop page doesn't render those per card. `id` is the item's URL slug, same identifier space as `/depop/search`'s `id` and `/depop/item/{slug}`'s `slug` — chain any item into `/depop/item/{slug}` for full detail. - `followers_count` and `following_count` are approximate once Depop abbreviates them in the UI (e.g. "2.35K" → `2350`) — Depop doesn't render the exact count past a certain size. - `currency` is always `"USD"` — inferred from the `$` symbol the page renders, not read from an explicit field (unlike `/depop/search` and `/depop/item/{slug}`, which get an explicit currency code from Depop's own JSON). - A shop with no current listings returns `200` with `"items": []`. - An empty or malformed `username` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. An unrecognized `condition`, `colours`, `sort`, `category`, or `gender` value, a malformed `subcategory` or `sizes` entry, or `price_min` greater than `price_max`, also returns `400`. - A nonexistent username returns `404`.

Response notes

- `departments` has exactly 4 entries: `womenswear` (gender `female`), `menswear` (gender `male`), `kidswear` (`is_kids: true`, no gender), and `everything-else` (no gender, not kids-scoped — items outside clothing, e.g. beauty, home, art). - Each department's `categories[].slug` is the value to pass as `/depop/search`'s or `/depop/shop/{username}`'s `category` query parameter. Most category slugs are shared across departments (e.g. `tops` exists under both `womenswear` and `menswear`) — pair a category slug with the matching department's `gender`/`is_kids` when you also want to scope by department. - Each category's `subcategories[].slug` is the value to pass as `subcategory` (comma-separated for multiple), scoped to that category — a subcategory slug from one category is not guaranteed valid under a different category. - This data changes rarely. When the live refresh succeeds, a newly added category or subcategory shows up immediately; when it fails (upstream down, blocked, or unexpected shape), the response falls back to a static snapshot that lags until this package is re-synced. Example response (truncated): ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "departments": [ { "id": "womenswear", "name": "Women", "gender": "female", "categories": [ { "slug": "tops", "name": "Tops", "subcategories": [ { "slug": "tshirts", "name": "T-shirts" }, { "slug": "hoodies", "name": "Hoodies" } ] } ] }, { "id": "kidswear", "name": "Kids", "is_kids": true, "categories": [ { "slug": "bundles", "name": "Clothing bundles", "subcategories": [ { "slug": "bundles", "name": "Clothing bundles" } ] } ] }, { "id": "everything-else", "name": "Everything else", "categories": [ { "slug": "beauty", "name": "Beauty", "subcategories": [ { "slug": "makeup", "name": "Makeup" }, { "slug": "skincare", "name": "Skincare" } ] } ] } ] } } ```

Response notes

- The directory changes rarely, so it is served from a cached snapshot refreshed about once a day; most calls return in well under a second, and a snapshot is still served while a refresh is in progress or failing. - Only the very first fetch (no snapshot yet) goes to Depop live, which can take 20-75 seconds because Depop's JSON API sits behind a stricter bot-protection tier; `503` then means every fetch path was blocked. Retry later. - `brands` is sorted by numeric `id` for a deterministic order. - `id` is the same numeric brand id `/depop/search`'s `brand_ids` filter accepts. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "total": 4213, "brands": [ {"id": 1, "name": "Aloye", "slug": "aloye"}, {"id": 2, "name": "Diamond Supply Co.", "slug": "diamond-supply-co"}, {"id": 270, "name": "Nike", "slug": "nike"} ] } } ```

Response notes

- Depop's JSON API sits behind a stricter bot-protection tier than its product pages. Calls first try a fast direct request and then fall back to a rendered browser fetch, so responses can take 20-60 seconds; `503` means both paths were blocked. Retry later. - Items are shaped identically to `/depop/search`'s listing summaries (title, price, brand, condition, like count, photos, sizes). - Resolving `slug` to the source item requires an internal item-page fetch before the similar-items lookup — allow for slightly higher latency than `/depop/search`. - `has_more` and `next_cursor` reflect Depop's own pagination state — when `has_more` is `true`, pass `next_cursor` as the following request's `after` value to fetch the next page. - An unknown or delisted source item slug returns `404`. - A missing `slug` or a `limit` over `150` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "items": [ { "id": "rayofsuashineva-artsy-chic-boho-luxe-eclectic-d9c0", "url": "https://www.depop.com/products/rayofsuashineva-artsy-chic-boho-luxe-eclectic-d9c0/", "title": "Artsy chic", "description": "Artsy chic\n\nBoho luxe\n\nMichael Simon jacket, multicolor plaid jacket", "brand_name": "Other", "condition": "used_excellent", "colours": ["multi"], "price_cents": 2500, "currency": "USD", "shipping_cents": 199, "thumbnail_url": "https://media-photos.depop.com/b1/264682642/4443656880_c7418b1968634a5a8a7e98ba0a863801/P0.jpg", "sizes": ["M"], "location": "Durham, United States", "like_count": 0 } ], "has_more": true, "next_cursor": "NQ" } } ```

Retry later. - `departments` is sorted alphabetically by department name; each department's `categories`/`subcategories` are sorted alphabetically by `id` for a deterministic order. - `categories`/`subcategories` are already department-scoped — unlike `/depop/search`'s own `category`/`subcategory` filters, which apply across all departments, a facet's `count` here only covers listings within that specific department. - `subcategories` are omitted (not an empty array) for a department with no subcategory breakdown in the upstream response. - A missing `query` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "query": "bandage dress", "departments": [ { "department": "menswear", "count": 39, "categories": [ {"id": "coats-jackets", "count": 4}, {"id": "fancy-dress", "count": 14}, {"id": "tops", "count": 12} ], "subcategories": [ {"id": "jackets", "count": 4}, {"id": "tshirts", "count": 5} ] }, { "department": "womenswear", "count": 23744, "categories": [ {"id": "dresses", "count": 22504}, {"id": "tops", "count": 509} ], "subcategories": [ {"id": "shift-dresses", "count": 22}, {"id": "wedding-dresses", "count": 7} ] } ] } } ```

Calls first try a fast direct request and then fall back to a rendered browser fetch, so responses can take 20-60 seconds; `503` means both paths were blocked. Retry later. - `departments` only includes `kidswear`, `menswear`, and `womenswear` — `everything-else` (see [`/depop/categories`](depop-categories.md)) has no clothing sizes and is omitted. - Each department groups its sizes into `categories` (e.g. "Tops", "Bottoms", "Shoes"), each of which groups sizes further into `regions` (`EUR`, `UK`, `US`, `AU`). - Each size's `id` (e.g. `"4.17"`) is the exact value to pass — comma -separated for multiple — as `/depop/search`'s or `/depop/shop/{username}`'s `sizes` query parameter. It omits the region suffix Depop's own page URLs display (e.g. `4.17-US`) — that suffix is decorative only; the bare `id` is what both endpoints actually key off. - A size id is not scoped to a specific `category`/`gender`/`is_kids` combination by `/depop/search` or `/depop/shop/{username}` — pairing an id from the wrong category (e.g. a Shoes id while filtering Tops) simply returns zero results rather than an error. Example response (truncated): ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "departments": [ { "id": "womenswear", "name": "Women", "categories": [ { "id": "wmns-tops-sizes", "name": "Tops", "regions": [ { "region": "US", "sizes": [ { "id": "4.17", "name": "M" }, { "id": "4.18", "name": "L" } ] } ] } ] } ] } } ```

Calls first try a fast direct request and then fall back to a rendered browser fetch, so responses can take 20-60 seconds; `503` means both paths were blocked. Retry later. - `value` is the suggested phrase with Depop's own bold-match markup stripped (the upstream API wraps the substring matching `query` in `**...**` for highlighting; this endpoint returns the plain text). - `group`, `suggested_filter_label`, and `gender` are present when the suggestion maps to a specific Depop category/department (e.g. `group` `tops`, `suggested_filter_label` `"in Women's Tops"`, `gender` `female`) — all three omitted for a plain free-text suggestion with no category match. - A missing `query` returns `400` before any upstream request is made. - Suggestions with no results return `200` with `"suggestions": []`. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "query": "red corte", "suggestions": [ { "value": "red corset", "group": "tops", "suggested_filter_label": "in Women's Tops", "gender": "female" }, { "value": "red corset" }, { "value": "red corset top" } ] } } ```
