Every Checkers price, Xtra Savings deal and stock count, address by address
Checkers is one of South Africa's largest grocery chains and its Sixty60 shop prices every product for the store that delivers to your address: on the same day a 6 x 1 L full cream milk was R97.99 for Cape Town, R99.99 for Durban and R104.99 for Pretoria, and a search for "milk" returned 105, 135 and 134 products.
5 active endpoints, on 2 and 3 credit tiers.

How the Checkers API works
Checkers is a normal ReefAPI surface — the same four rules that hold for every other engine on the key.
No OAuth app, no request signing, no per-site account. One key covers all 530 engines.
Every route is a POST with a JSON body. Parameters are validated against the published schema before anything is charged.
Credits, not seats. Failed and blocked calls are never charged, and cache hits cost nothing.
One envelope everywhere. meta carries latency_ms, record_count and the endpoint that answered.
From an address to a priced basket with every deal
Give the delivery address, search the shop, then read the products and deals that matter.
The products the Durban delivery store sells, with shelf price, was-price, Xtra Savings price, multi-buy, price per kg, stock on hand, brand and barcodes.
The full record for that address: every offer with dates, stock, barcodes, description and the attributes the site prints.
Everything on a deal in Milk, Dairy & Eggs for that address.
The 33 departments and their sub-categories with the ids search takes.

}What a Checkers field actually contains
Fields that read differently from how they look. Every row was measured against live responses on 2026-10-15.
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| store_id, store_defaulted | The store the prices and stock belong to. With an address it is the store that delivers there (a 60-minute store and a next-day store can both appear, so each row also carries its own store_id). store_defaulted is true when you did not pass an address. |
| price | The shelf price anyone pays, in rand. For goods sold by weight (unit KG) it is the price per kg and price_unit is "kg"; weight_range_g gives the pack weight range, for example 1,100 g to 1,300 g. |
| member_price | The Xtra Savings card price, never the shelf price: Clover Fresh Full Cream Milk 2 L showed price 37.99 and member_price 29.99. member_price_basis says whether the shop states it ("Now R29.99") or it is worked out from a "Save R5" or "Save 25%" offer. null when there is no card price. |
| multi_buy | An Xtra Savings bulk deal apart from the single price, for example "Buy 3 For R225" on beer: quantity 3, price 225.00, card_required true. |
| promotions | Every offer on the product with its text, type (fixed price, amount off, percent off, other), value, who it is for and its start and end time. |
| original_price, savings | The was-price and the saving, only when the shop's previous price is above today's price (4 of 528 search rows). null otherwise; on_promotion still tells you when the shop flags the product as on promotion. |
| stock_on_hand, in_stock | The stock count the delivering store reports and whether the product can be ordered (528 of 528 rows carried both). |
| product_id | Article number plus unit, exactly as the product page address ends: 10156094EA is a 1 L carton, 10156094PK1 the 6 x 1 L pack of the same article. |
| categories | The department path of the product ("Milk, Dairy & Eggs" > "Milk & Cream" > "Milk"); ids come from the categories call. |
Checkers does not publish a price per 100 g or 100 ml on its online shop, so none is returned; goods sold by weight carry their price per kg. Search results carry no review counts.
Checkers coverage, measured
Every number below was read from live responses on 2026-10-15: 22 searches across the default store, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria and the Shoprite shop, 24 products read both from search and on their own, deals, categories and stores, in two separate runs.
6 x 1 L full cream milk: R97.99 (Cape Town), R99.99 (Durban), R104.99 (Pretoria) the same day. "milk": 105, 135 and 134 products; "cheese": 194, 149 and 185.
Price, barcode, brand and availability matched the product page in 31 of 32 checks over two runs (the other page did not load on that try and matched when read again); search row and product record agreed on price, Xtra Savings price, multi-buy and stock for 20 of 20 products (plain, multipack, by weight, card price and multi-buy rows).
50 of 528 search rows carried an Xtra Savings price and 14 an Xtra Savings multi-buy; 4 had a was-price.
33 departments and 786 categories. Search counts on the default store: milk 110, bread 122, coffee 199, rice 154, beer 261.
Median 1.9 s per search and 1.2 to 1.5 s per product call over two runs; slowest search 4.6 s.
One address per call; 24 rows per page (up to 48); search is fuzzy, so a nonsense word still returns loose matches; with a search term the category filter takes top-level departments only; no price per 100 g or 100 ml; no review counts; personal Xtra Savings offers that need a login are not included.

The questions people actually ask before wiring up Checkers.
Get a free key →Do I need a Checkers or Xtra Savings account?▾
No. Everything is read logged out: the prices, Xtra Savings prices, deals and stock any visitor sees for a delivery address. Personal Xtra Savings offers that need a login are not included.
Is the Xtra Savings price the price I get?▾
Only with the card. price is what anyone pays; member_price is the Xtra Savings card price. On 2026-10-15, 50 of 528 search rows carried a card price and 14 an Xtra Savings multi-buy.
Why does the price depend on the address?▾
Because the shop prices, stocks and ranges products per delivering store: the same 6 x 1 L milk was R97.99, R99.99 and R104.99 for Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria on the same day. Pass latitude and longitude; without them the shop's default store is used and the answer says so.
What about Shoprite?▾
shoprite.co.za runs on the same platform: pass site=shoprite. Its catalogue answers from the Shoprite shop's own default store ("milk": 85 products). For delivery addresses the source says Checkers Sixty60 serves them (5 of 5 cities measured), so an address with site=shoprite returns a clear not-found answer telling you to use site=checkers.
Which filters and sorts work?▾
Sort by relevance, price or name; filter by brand, top-level department and deals only. Each was checked against the unfiltered count for "milk" in Cape Town (105): Clover 29, Milk, Dairy & Eggs 23, deals only 14; "cheese" 194, deals only 14. Brand names match exactly as a row's brand field spells them.
Can I look a product up by barcode?▾
Yes: search with barcode returns the product carrying that EAN, for example 6001299016158 for Clover Fresh Full Cream Milk 2 L.
How many products per page?▾
24 by default, up to 48. Three pages in a row returned 72 different products. Past the last page the answer is an empty page with a note.
How fresh is the data?▾
Every call reads the shop live; nothing is cached. Offers carry their own start and end times.
What is the Checkers API?▾
Checkers API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for south african grocery prices from checkers sixty60 and shoprite: price in rand, xtra savings price, multi-buys, stock on hand and product facts per delivery address. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /checkers/v1.
Is the Checkers API free to try?▾
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Checkers calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a Checkers login or account?▾
No login to Checkers is needed for the API response. You call ReefAPI with your x-api-key header, and the playground can run live examples before you create a production key.
How fresh is the Checkers data?▾
The page example is captured from a live search call, and production requests fetch live data through ReefAPI rather than a static sample.
How many credits does the Checkers API use?▾
Checkers actions currently cost 2-3 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call Checkers from an AI assistant or MCP client?▾
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call checkers actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
266 E-commerce & Marketplaces APIs on the same key
One key, one credit pool, one response envelope. If you are pulling Checkers, you are one call away from the rest of the category — no second contract, no second integration.
Need something this API does not do?
Name the endpoint, the field, or a source we do not carry yet. We ship new APIs every week and you would be first to get the key. Real people read every message and reply the same day.
Try it on your own data before you pay anything
The call above is the real endpoint, not a recording. A free key gives you 1,000 credits, the other 529 APIs, and the same envelope everywhere.
Endpoints, parameters and credit costs on this page are read from the live catalog and cannot drift from what the API accepts. Field notes were captured on 2026-10-15.
