The Sephora API provides real-time access to product data, inventory, reviews, and store locations from Sephora.com. With 11 endpoints and sub-400ms response times, it is built for production-grade beauty and retail applications.
What the API Covers
Product discovery works through multiple entry points. Search by keyword to find products matching a query, browse by category to navigate the catalog structure, or filter by brand to retrieve a specific brand’s full lineup. The autocomplete endpoint supports real-time search suggestions for search-as-you-type interfaces.
Product details return comprehensive data for individual items: name, description, ingredients, pricing, product images, and full specifications. This level of detail is useful for beauty apps that need to surface ingredient lists or formulation details alongside standard product information.
Reviews and ratings are available through the /product-reviews endpoint, returning customer ratings and written feedback. This data is well suited for recommendation engines, comparison tools, or any interface where social proof is part of the product display.
Inventory data from /product-availability returns store-level stock status, allowing applications to show users where a specific product is currently available near their location.
Store locations are accessible via geo-based queries, returning Sephora store details including addresses and proximity to a given point.
