Getting started
Rascador is a REST API for structured product, category and search data from SHEIN, AliExpress, Amazon and Back Market. This page gets you from zero to a first successful request.
1. Create an API key
Every request needs a key. Create one from API Keys. New keys start in the testenvironment — test keys work against every read endpoint, but can't run live searches or live product fetches. See Environments for the difference.
2. Call the API
Every response is a JSON envelope: { data, meta } on success, { error } on failure. Send your key as a bearer token:
curl https://api.rascador.store/v1/me \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RASCADOR_API_KEY"GET /v1/meintrospects the key itself — scopes, quota, rate limits and per-call pricing — and never spends quota. It's the right first call for any integration.
3. Explore the API
The full endpoint list — /v1/sources, /v1/categories, /v1/products, /v1/products/:id and /v1/search — is in the API Reference, with request/response shapes for every field.
Prefer a client library? The TypeScript SDK wraps every endpoint with types, retries and pagination.
