}About the meesho.com API
The Meesho API provides structured access to India's Meesho marketplace across 5 endpoints, covering product search, category browsing, individual product details, and customer reviews. The get_navigation_tree endpoint returns the full three-level category hierarchy with page IDs you can feed directly into get_category_products to paginate through any category's listings, each returning fields like price, rating, rating_count, and product_id.
Category Navigation and Product Browsing
Start with get_navigation_tree to retrieve Meesho's full category hierarchy. The response includes a payload object containing a level_1 array with nested level_2 and level_3 subcategories, each carrying a page_id (e.g. 9tx for Jewellery, 3iy for Sarees). Pass any page_id to get_category_products along with optional page and limit parameters to paginate through that category. Each catalog entry in the catalogs array includes id, name, product_id, slug, price in INR, image, category_id, rating, rating_count, and in_stock status.
Product Details
get_product_details accepts an alphanumeric product_id (e.g. 93stn, 1tbof) — obtainable from any get_category_products response — and returns a single product's full record: name, price, description, images array, in_stock boolean, a shipping object with charges and estimated delivery, breadcrumb for category context, and a valid flag indicating whether the listing is currently active.
Search and Reviews
search_products accepts a query string and optional page and limit parameters, returning a catalogs array and total_count. get_product_reviews accepts a product_id and optional page number, returning a paginated reviews array with customer feedback for that product. Both endpoints are noted to be intermittently blocked by Akamai protection, so callers should handle failure responses gracefully.
Data Scope
All prices are denominated in INR. Product IDs on Meesho are short alphanumeric strings, not sequential integers, so they must be obtained programmatically from category or search results rather than guessed. The navigation tree requires no input parameters and reflects Meesho's live category structure.

Does Meesho have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_product_details` return beyond basic price and name?+
images (an array of image URLs), description (including product attributes), a shipping object with charges and estimated delivery window, a breadcrumb array for category context, an in_stock boolean, a valid flag indicating listing status, and the slug string. Prices are in INR.Are seller profiles or seller ratings available through this API?+
How do the search and review endpoints behave under Akamai protection?+
search_products and get_product_reviews are noted as intermittently blocked by Akamai, Meesho's anti-bot layer. Requests to these endpoints may occasionally return errors or empty responses. get_navigation_tree, get_product_details, and get_category_products do not carry the same caveat and are generally more stable.
