API Parameters

Customize the response from the Target API by adding parameters to your request.

IMPORTANT! The engine parameter should always be set to target!

The Target API is a powerful Target scraping tool, made easy to use. Basically, in order to scrape Target, all you have to do is send a GET request to our official endpoint followed by the parameters you chose to customize your request.

The Target API uses general parameters (applicable to any search type) and search type specific parameters (applicable to specific search types only). We will cover the search type specific parameters in each search category.

Here is the full list of the general parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
api_key required	string	Specify your unique API access key to authenticate with the API. You can find your API access key in your account dashboard.
engine required	string	The engine of the API. Needs to be set to target for all Target API requests.
force_related_products	int	Whether or not to force related products to appear. It can be set to 1 (to show related products) or 0 (to hide related products).
