Key facts
Updated
Search is how shoppers navigate Zalando's several hundred thousand articles, and it is also how assortment analysts find out what is ranking. The everydata.io Zalando Search API executes a keyword search on zalando.de – optionally restricted to the women's, men's or kids' shop – and returns the result grid as structured JSON: article number, brand, title, price versus original price, image, the available sizes shown on the tile and a sponsored flag. Paging follows Zalando's own grid, so page 1 of "sneaker" in the damen shop gives you the same 66 or so tiles a visitor would see.

What the Zalando Search API returns
Each hit in searchProductDetails is a colourway-level article, identified by its Zalando article number (asin / productId such as HU315O085-G12) and linked to its detail page through dpUrl. price and retailPrice let you spot marked-down tiles immediately, variations lists the sizes Zalando advertises on the tile, imgUrl points to the packshot on img01.ztat.net and sponsored marks paid placements so you can exclude them from organic-rank analysis.
The envelope tells you where you are in the result set: resultCount is the total number of matching articles (28,228 for "sneaker" in the women's shop), numberOfProducts is the count on this page, and currentPage / nextPage / lastPage drive your loop. sortStrategy echoes the sort you asked for and mainCat the shop section.
- keyword search on zalando.de with optional mainCat damen, herren or kinder
- sortBy most-popular, activation-date (newest), price-asc, price-desc or sale
- Per tile: article number, manufacturer, productDescription, price, retailPrice, currency
- Available sizes as advertised on the tile plus the detail-page URL (dpUrl)
- sponsored flag to separate paid placements from organic ranking
- resultCount, numberOfProducts, currentPage, nextPage and lastPage for paging
- withCache option for research crawls where a recently cached result page is fine
What teams build with the Zalando Search API
Keyword rank tracking for fashion brands
Record where your articles appear for "sneaker", "trenchcoat" or "laufschuhe" in the damen and herren shops, and how many sponsored tiles sit above you.
New-arrival monitoring
Run the search with sortBy=activation-date every morning to catch competitor launches on zalando.de the day they go live.
Sale and markdown scans
Combine sortBy=sale with price/retailPrice to build a daily list of reduced articles per category and brand.
Assortment breadth research
resultCount per keyword and shop section quantifies how deep Zalando's assortment is in a niche before you decide to list there.
Zalando Search API: example request and response
Call GET /zal/zalando-search-by-keyword with keyword and page. domainCode defaults to de; mainCat narrows the search to one of Zalando's three shops and sortBy switches from Zalando's popularity ranking to newest arrivals, price or sale items first.

Iterate with page until nextPage is null or you reach lastPage. Because Zalando personalises very little of its search grid, results are stable enough for rank tracking: store the position of each article number per keyword and date and you have a ranking history.
The tile-level variations array is what Zalando prints under the product image – typically the sizes in stock – and is a quick proxy for availability. For the definitive per-size stock and the seller behind the offer, follow dpUrl into /zal/zalando-lookup-product.
sortBy=sale is Zalando's own "Sale" ordering and is the fastest way to enumerate reduced articles for a keyword; compare price and retailPrice on each tile to compute the markdown percentage.

Zalando Search API: frequently asked questions
Which storefront does the search run on?
domainCode defaults to de, Zalando's German storefront with EUR prices. The mainCat values damen, herren and kinder correspond to the German shop sections.
How many results are on a page?
The API returns Zalando's own grid – typically around 66 tiles per page, reported in numberOfProducts. resultCount holds the total number of matching articles and lastPage the number of pages.
Can I filter by brand, size or price?
The endpoint supports keyword, category (mainCat) and sort order. Include the brand name in the keyword to narrow results, and filter by price or size on your side using the tile fields.
Are sponsored results included?
Yes, they appear in the same array with sponsored set to true so you can decide whether to keep or drop them.
How do I get stock per size for a search hit?
Take the dpUrl of the tile and call /zal/zalando-lookup-product. The search tile only lists the sizes Zalando prints under the image.
