Gilt Technologie: Gilt APIs

gilt-tech:

Over the next few months, Gilt will be exposing its data model via a new suite of public APIs. We’re excited to make our data available to a broader audience of hackers, and we can’t wait to see what people do with it.

Our first API is a set of Atom Pub feeds, which let you see our active and upcoming sales, either en masse, or store by store.

For example, https://api.gilt.com/v1/sales/active.atom shows all the active sales on gilt.com, or you can hit https://api.gilt.com/v1/sales/upcoming.atom to see what sales are coming soon.

You can see just the active or upcoming sales for some of our stores as well, for example:

All our available feeds can be concisely written using a regex:

https://api.gilt.com/v1/sales(/men|/women|/kids|/home)?/(active|upcoming).atom

We’ll be rolling out more details soon; this is our first toe in the water.

Enjoy!

This is what I’ve been working on laying the groundwork for for the past couple months! The Atom feeds really are just the beginning but I’m happy to see them pop up every afternoon in my feed reader— and I’m excited to show you guys more in the coming weeks!
