Officeworks Catalogue

Proxy endpoints that query the live Officeworks public catalogue — categories (cached 24 h server-side) and Algolia product search — without consuming scrape credits.

Browse Category Tree

POST

https://multicartapi.com/api/v1/schedules/officeworks/categories/

API Key or Session Token

Return the Officeworks category tree, optionally filtered to a subtree by seo_path or flattened to a list.

curl "https://multicartapi.com/api/v1/schedules/officeworks/categories/" \
  -X POST \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"flat": false, "seo_path": "technology"}'

Parameters

Parameter	In	Type	Required	Default	Description
`flat`	body	boolean	Optional	false	When true, return every category as a flat list instead of a nested tree.
`seo_path`	body	string	Optional	—	Restrict the response to this category and its descendants, e.g. `technology`. Omit to return the full tree.

Request body

{"flat": false, "seo_path": "technology"}

Response

{
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    "total": 5,
    "categories": [
      {
        "name": "Technology",
        "seoPath": "technology",
        "children": [
          { "name": "Computers", "seoPath": "technology/computers", "children": [] }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "status": 1
}

Notes

Category data is proxied from the Officeworks public API (`/catalogue-app/api/categories`) and cached server-side for 24 hours. Omit both params to retrieve the entire tree. When `seo_path` does not match any category the response returns `total: 0` with an empty `categories` array.

Notes

Product fields returned: `sku`, `title`, `brand`, `gtin`, `price_value`, `price_currency`, `image`, `product_url`, `url_keyword`, `category`, `categories`, `ranged_online`, `ranged_retail`, `rating`, `review_count`, `status`, `published`. Results are queried live from Algolia on every call — there is no server-side cache for products. Use the `sku` values returned here as input to the Officeworks SKU collection endpoints. Pagination is zero-indexed; check `total_pages` to determine whether additional pages exist.
