Real-time product request

To make a simple request for a single market page, use the /realtime/ecommerce endpoint with the following syntax:

Nimble APIs requires that a base64 encoded credential string be sent with every request to authenticate your account. For detailed examples, see E-commerce API Authentication.

cURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/ecommerce' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <credential string>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "vendor": "walmart",
    "url": "https://www.walmart.com/ip/Simple-Mobile-Apple....",
    "country": "US",
    "zip": "90210",
    "locale": "en"
}'

Python

import requests

url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/ecommerce'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');

  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
