Colruyt API — Real-Time Belgium Grocery Data
Access Colruyt's complete Belgian product catalog via the Pepesto API — live online prices, unit prices, and availability, returned as structured JSON from colruyt.be.
What Does the Colruyt API Return?
Everything visible in the Colruyt app and website, returned as clean JSON via a single REST call.
Colruyt-specific: Unit prices (price per 100g or per litre) are included where displayed on colruyt.be. Product names are available in both Dutch and French.
Why Use an API Instead of Building Your Own Colruyt Integration?
Developers who have tried to build their own Colruyt data pipeline know the obstacles. Unofficial workarounds exist, but they come with real costs.
Colruyt updates their website regularly — changing markup, adding rate limiting, or restructuring categories. Pepesto absorbs all of that. Your integration keeps working.
The same JSON field names work whether you're calling Colruyt, Albert Heijn, Tesco, or any other supported chain. One integration for all of Europe.
Calling a REST API takes hours. Building, maintaining, and scaling your own Colruyt data extraction takes months — and requires ongoing engineering resources.
DIY data extraction is fragile: a single layout change can silently break your pipeline. Pepesto monitors and updates integrations continuously so you don't have to.
