The Tesco Data API provides real-time product data from Tesco UK and Tesco Ireland, covering over 300,000 SKUs. It is designed for grocery, retail, and e-commerce applications that need structured product information including pricing, nutritional data, promotional offers, and category hierarchy.

## What the API Covers

**Product search** lets you query the Tesco UK catalog by keyword, returning matching products with names, prices, promotional offers, images, and availability status. For category-based browsing, paginated category pages are available for both UK and Ireland, allowing you to replicate Tesco's catalog structure in your own application.

**Product details** endpoints return comprehensive data for individual products: name, description, pricing, promotional tags, images, stock status, and full nutritional information. This level of detail makes the API suitable for shopping assistants and health-focused grocery apps where ingredient and nutrition data matter.

**Category taxonomy** endpoints return the full hierarchical structure of Tesco's categories for both regions, which is useful for building navigation trees or for bulk data collection across specific product segments.

**Ireland coverage** is included as a first-class feature. Dedicated endpoints handle Tesco Ireland product details and category browsing separately, so regional differences in product range and pricing are preserved.

## Use Cases

## FAQ

### Does Tesco have an API?

Tesco used to run a public developer portal, Tesco Labs, but it is no longer online, and Tesco does not offer a public product API today. The Tesco Data API is an independent service that returns Tesco UK and Tesco Ireland products, prices, offers, nutrition and categories as JSON through RapidAPI.

### Can I download the Tesco category taxonomy?

Yes. /get-category-ids-for-uk returns the whole Tesco UK category tree in one call with no parameters: about 17 super-departments (some seasonal, such as Halloween and Christmas), their departments, and around 1,500 aisles, each aisle with the category ID that /category-page takes. /get-category-ids-for-ireland does the same for Tesco Ireland. Save the response as JSON to keep a copy of the taxonomy.

### Is there a Tesco product dataset with prices?

Yes. The Tesco UK Products Dataset covers the full catalogue with prices, offers and nutrition data in JSON or CSV, and a sample of 1,000 products is available to check the fields first. See happyendpoint.com/datasets/tesco-products-uk.
