Quick commerce API
A quick commerce API, without building one.
As far as we know, none of the quick commerce apps offers a public API for its catalogue, its prices or its search results; their panels cover a brand’s own account. Shelf reads every app every day and gives the data as screens, Excel and CSV files and alerts. API access is given on request to accounts on a plan.

Why it is needed
What the apps show you, and what they do not.
- What the apps offer
- Seller and ads panels for a brand’s own account. No public API for the catalogue, the prices or the results page.
- What Shelf gives

Questions about Quick commerce API
Does Shelf have an API?
API access is given on request to accounts on a plan. Every plan has the screens; Pro has Excel and CSV files of any table, and alerts.
Is this the apps’ official data?
No. Shelf is independent of the apps. It reads what each app shows a shopper, store by store, and keeps the date of every read.
Does Shelf copy the apps’ images or product copy?
No. Shelf keeps facts: names, pack sizes, prices, ranks and stock states.
Do I need a seller login?
No. You sign in to Shelf with an email address. Nothing in Shelf is built on a seller login or an ad account.
