# H&M Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/hm/search)

> Returns one page of H&M products for a keyword, 36 per page by default, each with product id, name, brand, current and original price, images, colour, sizes, availability, and the product page URL. Sort by relevance (default), newest, price_low, or price_high. Pass language to switch catalogue (en_us default, en_gb, de_de, fr_fr). filters is an H&M facet string from the live payload (colorWithNames, sizes, fits); a guessed filter that the origin cannot parse fails the call rather than returning an empty page. There is no product-detail endpoint on this surface: feed a returned product id into GET /v1/hm/product/suppliers for factory data.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/hm/search` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search keyword, for example t-shirts, jeans, dress. |
| `page` | no | Page number, starting at 1. Prefer the universal cursor parameter. |
| `limit` | no | Products per page, 1 to 36. Default 36. Values above 36 are clamped; 100 crashes the origin. |
| `sort_by` | no | Result ordering: relevance (default), newest, price_low, or price_high. (relevance \| newest \| price_low \| price_high) |
| `language` | no | Catalogue locale as language_region, for example en_us, en_gb, de_de, fr_fr. Omit for the US catalogue. This is not the two-letter locale from GET /v1/hm/countries. |
| `filters` | no | H&M facet filter string. Example: colorWithNames:black_000000. Combine groups with \|\| and values inside a group with \|. Facet ids are listed on every search payload under searchHits.facets. |
| `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. |
| `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. |
| `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. |

## FAQ

### How do I run an HM search by keyword?

Call GET /v1/hm/search with query set to a keyword such as t-shirts. It returns one page of products, 36 by default, each with product id, name, brand, price, images, colour, sizes, availability and the product page URL.

### Can I sort H&M results by price or newest?

Yes. sort_by accepts relevance, newest, price_low or price_high, and relevance is the default. The limit parameter takes 1 to 36 products per page, and values above 36 are clamped.

### How do I search another H&M country catalogue?

Pass language as a locale such as en_gb, de_de or fr_fr. Leave it out for the US catalogue. This is the language_region code, not the two-letter country code used by the stores endpoint.

### Does the search return a product description or reviews?

No. There is no product detail endpoint on this surface, and search rows carry no description or rating. To see who makes an item, pass its product id to GET /v1/hm/product/suppliers.

### How much does an HM search cost?

Each call costs 5 credits on the advanced tier. New accounts get 100 free credits, enough for about 20 calls, and credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically. There is no subscription.
