Introducing the Covala Product Intelligence API

Structured product data for developers and AI agents. 49,000+ products, 1,000+ brands, one API.

We're launching the Covala Product Intelligence API — a single endpoint for structured product data across the consumer electronics and appliance ecosystem.

The Problem

Building apps that understand physical products is hard. Product data is scattered across retailer websites, manufacturer catalogs, and inconsistent databases. If you want to know the specs of a Samsung dishwasher, compare prices across retailers, or find compatible accessories, you're stitching together dozens of sources.

AI agents have the same problem. When a user asks Claude or GPT "what's the best price on this dishwasher?", the agent needs structured, reliable product data — not web scraping results.

What Covala Provides

The Covala API gives your app (or any AI agent) instant access to:

  • 49,000+ products with structured specs, brand info, categories, and images
  • 1,000+ brands across electronics, appliances, and home goods
  • 194 product types with deep categorization
  • 15 retailers with real-time pricing and availability
  • Product relationships — successors, alternatives, accessories, and series grouping

Every product is normalized, deduplicated, and enriched through our data pipeline. No scraping, no inconsistencies, no stale data.

How It Works

Get an API key and start making requests:

curl https://api.covala.com/v2/products \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_cvl_live_..." \
  -G -d "q=samsung dishwasher" \
  -d "include=offers"

The response includes structured product data, current pricing from multiple retailers, and rich metadata — all in a clean JSON format with cursor-based pagination.

For AI Agents

Covala also ships as an MCP server, so any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, GPT, etc.) can look up products, compare prices, and understand product relationships using natural language:

npx @covala/mcp-server

No custom integration needed. The agent gets product intelligence as a native tool.

Get Started
