For Developers

Product intelligence
in one API call.

Stop stitching together retailer websites and inconsistent databases. The Covala API gives you structured product data, cross-retailer pricing, and a knowledge layer — all from a single endpoint.

Building with product data is unnecessarily hard

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 with inconsistent schemas and stale data.

Fragmented data

Product info is scattered across retailer websites, manufacturer catalogs, and proprietary databases. No two sources agree on format.

No relationships

Which product replaced this one? What accessories are compatible? Is there a newer model? Good luck finding that in a retailer feed.

AI agents are blind

When Claude or GPT needs to answer a product question, it has no structured data source. It guesses from training data or scrapes the web.

The Covala API

Everything in one endpoint

Product Catalog

25,000+ products with structured specs, brand info, categories, and images. Search by name, barcode, model number, or semantic query.

GET /v2/products, /barcode/{gtin}, /lookup

Price Intelligence

Current pricing from 15 retailers with history, trends, and cross-retailer comparison. Know when a product is at its best price.

GET /v2/products/{id}/prices

Product Graph

Successors, alternatives, accessories, and series. Understand how products relate to each other across brands and categories.

GET /v2/products/{id}/relationships

Knowledge Layer

Maintenance schedules, error codes, lifespan data, buying guides, and cost of ownership for 160+ product types.

GET /v2/product-types/{slug}/knowledge

Brand Profiles

Quality tier, warranty info, repairability scores, and sustainability data for 290+ brands. Build trust signals into your UI.

GET /v2/brands/{slug}

Semantic Search

Natural language search using AI embeddings. Queries like 'quiet dishwasher for open kitchen' return relevant results.

POST /v2/products/semantic-search
