GET /v1/kohls/storesLast updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the Kohl's Stores API
Use it when you have a coordinate (40.758,-73.9855). This is a near-me search, not a country dump. A radius with no stores returns an empty list.
From the API reference
Returns Kohl's stores within a radius of a latitude,longitude pair, each with store id, name, street address, city, state, postcode, coordinates, and the store page URL. Pass location_coordinate as lat,lng (40.758,-73.9855) or latitude and longitude separately. radius is miles, 1 to 100, default 25. A radius with no stores returns an empty list and is not billed. latitude and longitude are both required; omitting either is a 400 before billing.

The Stores endpoint gives you structured Kohl's data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/kohls/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.
