GET /v1/hm/storesLast updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the H&M Stores API
Use it when you have a two-letter country code (us, gb, de). This is a country dump, not a near-me search.
From the API reference
Returns every H&M store in a market: store code, name, full address, phone, coordinates, and weekly opening hours. Pass the two-letter country code as query (us, gb, de). This is a country dump, not a near-me search, and it is a single page. An unknown country code returns an empty list.

What can you do with the Stores API?
The Stores endpoint gives you structured H&M data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/hm/stores: 5 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

| 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. |
