How the HOFER (Austria) API works
HOFER (Austria) 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 585 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.

}What a HOFER 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 shelf price in euros as hofer.at prints it ("€ 4,50"). It matched the product page on 14 of 14 products checked. |
| price_is_estimate, estimated_weight | Weighed goods: price is for the estimated piece (Schweinefilet € 4,50 for 0.5 kg) and HOFER bills the exact weight at the till. The per-kilo price is the unit_price (8.99 per 1 kg). |
| unit_price, unit_price_basis | The Grundpreis and what it is per, never rescaled: 1.33 per "100 g", 0.74 per "500 ml" for a 330 ml bottle at 0.49. Compare products only on the same basis. Null when hofer.at prints none. |
| was_price, discount_percent | On offers, the "statt" price and the discount computed from the two prices. hofer.at prints no percentage of its own. |
| on_sale_date | The day a dated offer starts in store. Future dates are announced offers, not stock. |
| id | HOFER's 18-digit product id; keep the leading zeros. hofer.at publishes no EAN barcode. |
Prices were identical in Wien, Graz and Innsbruck stores; store_id narrows a listing to one store's range.

The questions people actually ask before wiring up HOFER (Austria).
Get a free key →Is HOFER the same as ALDI?▾
HOFER is the name ALDI SÜD trades under in Austria. Our aldi-de API covers ALDI SÜD in Germany with the same fields.
Does HOFER have a public API?▾
No public one. This API reads what hofer.at shows a logged-out visitor and returns it as JSON. No account is needed.
How do I get the HOFER PREIS,-WOCHEN products?▾
Call offers with type weekly (9 products on 2026-10-18); type permanent_low gives HOFER Preis - Dauerhaft Günstiger (51). For the dated Angebote, call promotions and pass a date to search as promotionKey.
Why is a meat price marked as an estimate?▾
Because HOFER sells it by weight: the shelf shows a price for an estimated piece and the till charges the exact weight. price_is_estimate and estimated_weight say so, and unit_price is the price per kilo.
Are prices different between stores?▾
Not in our measurements: three stores in Wien, Graz and Innsbruck priced every common product identically.
Can I get EAN barcodes or store stock?▾
No. hofer.at publishes neither; products carry HOFER's own 18-digit id.
How fresh is the data?▾
Every call reads hofer.at live; nothing is cached.
What is the HOFER (Austria) API?▾
HOFER (Austria) API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for hofer austria prices as json: preis,-wochen and dated angebote, unit prices, weighed goods, labels and the store finder. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /hofer/v1.
Is the HOFER (Austria) API free to try?▾
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. HOFER (Austria) calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a HOFER (Austria) login or account?▾
No login to HOFER (Austria) 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 HOFER (Austria) 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 HOFER (Austria) API use?▾
HOFER (Austria) 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 HOFER (Austria) from an AI assistant or MCP client?▾
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call hofer actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
Is the HOFER (Austria) API a HOFER (Austria) scraper?▾
It is the managed alternative to a DIY HOFER (Austria) scraper. Instead of building and maintaining your own scraper — proxies, headless browsers, captcha and constant breakage — you call one ReefAPI endpoint and get the same hofer austria prices as json: preis,-wochen and dated angebote, unit prices, weighed goods, labels and the store finder back as clean JSON.
320 E-commerce & Marketplaces APIs on the same key

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 584 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 2026-10-18.
