Prices are set per store, so every call is answered for one Bristol Farms store: give a ZIP code or a store_id from `stores` (without either, a fixed default store, Santa Monica near 90024, is used and the response says store_defaulted: true). `search` returns the site's own ranked results (cheese: 295 products at the default store), `category` lists a collection such as Milk, `offers` returns Weekly Ad, `product/detail` adds ingredients, warnings and images, `categories` lists the category tree and `stores` lists Bristol Farms stores around a ZIP code with distance and services. The price matched the price printed on the shop.bristolfarms.com product page for 8 of 8 products we checked.
What a Bristol Farms field actually contains
Fields that read differently from how they look, measured on live responses on 2026-10-18.
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| price, price_display | The price at the chosen store as the shop.bristolfarms.com product page prints it (matched on 8/8 products, e.g. Vital Farms Pasture Raised Organic Lar $13.69). |
| original_price, discount_percent | The struck-through regular price on sale items and the discount computed from the two prices; null when the item is not on sale. |
| promotions, buy_one_get_one | Deals shown on the item: BOGO, multi-buy ('Buy 2 for $9.16'), member offers. They are never folded into price. |
| loyalty_price | A separate card or member price when the site shows one next to the regular price; null otherwise. |
| store, store_defaulted | The Bristol Farms store that priced the response (id, name, street, city). store_defaulted is true when you gave neither postal_code nor store_id. |
| unit_price_text | The unit price as the site prints it ("$0.03/fl oz"). For items sold by weight, price is the estimated package price and price_is_estimate is true. |
| stock_level, likely_out_of_stock | many_in_stock, in_stock, likely_out_of_stock or out_of_stock for that store. |
| matches_query | Whether the row shares a word with your search. The site fills a search that matches nothing with unrelated products; such pages are dropped and counted in unmatched_dropped. |
Prices differ between stores: the same 16 products cost differently on 1 of them at a store near 92660 on the same day.

Questions developers ask before integrating
Does Bristol Farms have a public API?
No public product API. This API reads what shop.bristolfarms.com shows a logged-out visitor and returns it as JSON. No account is needed.
Why do I need a ZIP code?
Bristol Farms prices are set per store. Pass postal_code or store_id; without them a fixed default store is used and store_defaulted is true.
Do delivery, pickup and in-store prices differ?
Not in our measurement: the store's delivery, pickup and in-store price lists were identical on 16 of 16 products, so one price is returned, the one the product page prints.
Can I get the Bristol Farms Weekly Ad?
Yes. offers with type weekly_ad returns the dated Weekly Ad list priced at one store, with sale price and the struck-through regular price.
How are sale prices shown?
A sale item's price is the sale price and original_price is the struck-through regular price, both as the product page prints them.
How do I find Bristol Farms stores near a ZIP code?
Call stores with postal_code. Around 90024 it returned 10 stores, nearest first, with address, coordinates, distance in miles and the services each offers. Use a store_id in any other call to price at that store.
Does search return everything the site finds?
Yes, in the site's own order, 20 per page by default (up to 40). cheese returned 295 products. The site can re-rank its list between two calls, so reading by page number can repeat or skip a product; follow next_cursor from each answer for a complete scan: it never returns a product twice and fills the page from the rest of the list.
How fresh is the data?
Every call reads shop.bristolfarms.com live; nothing is cached on our side.
What is the Bristol Farms API?
Bristol Farms API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for shop.bristolfarms.com prices as json per store: search, categories, weekly ad, product details and the store locator. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /bristol-farms/v1.
Is the Bristol Farms API free to try?
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Bristol Farms calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a Bristol Farms login or account?
No login to Bristol Farms 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 Bristol Farms 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 Bristol Farms API use?
Bristol Farms actions currently cost 1-3 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call Bristol Farms from an AI assistant or MCP client?
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call bristol-farms actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
