How the Ocado UK Groceries API works

Ocado UK Groceries is a normal ReefAPI surface — the same four rules that hold for every other engine on the key.

01
Authenticate
x-api-key header

No OAuth app, no request signing, no per-site account. One key covers all 438 engines.

02
Call
POST /ocado/v1/…

Every route is a POST with a JSON body. Parameters are validated against the published schema before anything is charged.

03
Pay
2 or 3 credits per call

Credits, not seats. Failed and blocked calls are never charged, and cache hits cost nothing.

04
Read
{ ok, data, meta, error }

One envelope everywhere. meta carries latency_ms, record_count and the endpoint that answered.

From a grocery search to the complete label sheet

Keep the retailer identity, ordinary price and conditional offers together. Barcode matching is outside this candidate's verified coverage.

01search?query=milk&limit=24
GET/ocado/v1/search?query=milk&limit=24

Read product ids, current ordinary prices, units and promotion descriptions.

02detail?id=24577011
GET/ocado/v1/product/detail?id=24577011

Resolve a search id to the full nutrition table, label fields, images and offer terms.

Product identity, shelf price, unit price, availability and label information are joined without inventing barcodes or single-item multibuy prices.
