Lidl API

Lidl product search, prices, current offers and category trees across Lidl's country shops as JSON.

The API.SH Lidl API reads Lidl's public web shop and returns JSON. Search products by country with filters for brand, price, rating, category and availability, list current offers with the biggest discount first, read one product with unit price, offer dates and Lidl Plus prices, and browse each country's category tree. Optional details add EANs, long descriptions and variants.

API.SH vs the official Lidl API

Lidl has no public developer API in the search results: the AI overview says there is no official one, and what ranks for the query is community code for the Lidl Plus app and third-party scrapers. API.SH reads the public web shop only, with no Lidl Plus login or app access.

Skip building and maintaining your own Lidl scraper or comparing RapidAPI and Apify listings: API.SH gives you one key, one JSON format and a fixed price per call.

Lidl API questions

What Lidl data can I get?+

Product search (/lidl/v1/search), current offers (/lidl/v1/offers), one product with optional full details (/lidl/v1/product) and category trees (/lidl/v1/categories).

How much does the Lidl API cost?+

Every Lidl endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /lidl/v1/categories at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Lidl API?+

No public one. Search results show no officially documented Lidl API; the code that ranks is community work around the Lidl Plus app. API.SH reads Lidl's public web shop instead.

Do I need a Lidl account or login?+

No. API.SH reads the public Lidl web shop only. It does not use a Lidl Plus login, app, receipts or anyone's account.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /lidl/v1/offers with a country such as DE or GB. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.

Which countries does it cover?+

Lidl's country shops, chosen with the country parameter, including DE, GB, FR, NL, ES, IT, IE and PL, and more.

Can I get Lidl Plus receipts?+

No. Receipts are private to an account. API.SH returns public shop data, including Lidl Plus prices where the shop shows them.
