Prices are set per store, so every call is answered for one Publix store: give a ZIP code or a store_id from `stores` (without either, a fixed default store, Publix #1270 - Southgate Shopping Center near 33801, is used and the response says store_defaulted: true). `search` returns the site's own ranked results (cheese: 299 products at the default store), `category` lists a collection such as Milk, `offers` returns BOGO (buy one, get one free), `product/detail` adds ingredients, warnings and images, `categories` lists the category tree and `stores` lists Publix stores around a ZIP code with distance and services. The price matched the price printed on the delivery.publix.com product page for 8 of 8 products we checked.
What a Publix 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 delivery.publix.com product page prints it (matched on 8/8 products, e.g. Publix Eggs, Large $2.43). |
| 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 Publix 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 3 of them at a store near 30303 on the same day.

Questions developers ask before integrating
Does Publix have a public API?
No public product API. This API reads what delivery.publix.com shows a logged-out visitor and returns it as JSON. No account is needed.
Why do I need a ZIP code?
Publix 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 Publix BOGO deals?
Yes. offers with type bogo returns Publix's current BOGO (buy one, get one free) list priced at one store; rows carry the promotion label and buy_one_get_one. promotions lists the deal list with its product count.
Is the BOGO price in `price`?
No. price is the regular price the product page prints; BOGO and multi-buy deals are in promotions[] and buy_one_get_one, so you can compute the effective price yourself.
How do I find Publix stores near a ZIP code?
Call stores with postal_code. Around 33801 it returned 228 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 299 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 delivery.publix.com live; nothing is cached on our side.
What is the Publix API?
Publix API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for delivery.publix.com prices as json per store: search, categories, bogo (buy one, get one free), product details and the store locator. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /publix/v1.
Is the Publix API free to try?
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Publix calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a Publix login or account?
No login to Publix 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 Publix 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 Publix API use?
Publix actions currently cost 3 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call Publix from an AI assistant or MCP client?
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call publix actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
