Chewy product data API

The ShopAPIS Chewy product data API returns regular price, Autoship subscription price, in-stock status, product specs, ratings, review count and variant options for any chewy.com product — as clean JSON in USD. Chewy has no public catalog API, so parsing its product pages is the only way to track pet-supply pricing — including the lower Autoship price that drives most of its revenue.

Chewy is the dominant US pet-supplies retailer, with ~21 million active customers and net sales per active customer of $591 in Q2 2025 (Chewy 8-K ). Its catalog is deep on food, pharmacy and supplies, and its Autoship subscription price is frequently the real selling price — a field generic scrapers miss.

Why Chewy data is hard to get

Chewy shows two prices on most listings — the one-time price and the lower Autoship subscription price — and renders stock and variant data client-side behind a medium anti-bot stack. A naive scraper captures only the one-time price and treats the Autoship price as a discount banner, conflating the real competitive floor. Pet pharmacy items add prescription gating that changes the displayed price flow. ShopAPIS captures both prices, resolves variants (size/flavor/pack) and normalizes the subscription terms into one record.
