# Target API guide



## Choose a Target operation



Start with the object your task needs. The groups below use the current catalogue; open an endpoint to check accepted identifiers, filters, price and availability before retrieving.



### Products and categories



- [Target categories](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/categories) — Target's top-level category tree with node ids for target/category.

- [Target category products](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/category) — Products in a Target category at one store, 24 per page.

- [Target product](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/product) — One Target product: title, brand, price, rating and review statistics, description and bullets, images and videos, category breadcrumbs, variations and return policy.



### Reviews and offers



- [Target product reviews](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/reviews) — Reviews of a Target product, ten per page, with the rating distribution, recommendation rate and photo counts.



### Search and discovery



- [Target product search](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/search) — Products matching a keyword at one Target store, 24 per page, with price, rating, images and variations.



### Other operations



- [Target stores near a place](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/target/stores) — Target stores near a place with store ids, distance, phone, address and today's hours.



## Check fields and collection limits



Use the endpoint’s declared parameters and returned continuation. Filters from another platform do not automatically apply here. Preserve source identifiers, URLs and warnings; a successful page does not establish complete history. Published response schemas identify whether they come from a reviewed shaper or observed response shapes.



Agents can use `get_endpoint` for the current contract and `get_docs` with topic `platforms/target` to read this page. The [coverage guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/data-availability) explains nulls and partial results, and the [production guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/production-checklist) covers budgets and recovery.



## Endpoint reference

## target/categories

`GET /v1/target/categories`

Target's top-level category tree with node ids for target/category.

*Target categories*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 10 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/target/categories" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
```

### Response data

Illustrative abbreviated data; documented core fields are optional and may be null. Additional source fields are allowed.

```json
{
  "count": 0,
  "has_more": false,
  "items": [
    {
