Domains & Suppliers

A Domain represents a marketplace or data supplier. Every item you add to a Collection — every ASIN or SKU — is tied to a domain ID, so fetching the domain list is typically the first call you make.

Supplier types

The supplier_type field on each domain tells you how MultiCartAPI retrieves data for it.

scraping

Data is collected by a browser-based scraper. Used for all Amazon marketplaces. Requires a postcode and cookie file per domain.

rest_api

Data is pulled from the supplier's own API or catalogue service. Used for Officeworks and Repco. No cookie required.

csv_import

Reserved for suppliers whose data is ingested via a periodic CSV feed. Not currently exposed as a public marketplace.

Listing domains

POST /settings/domains/ returns every active domain on the platform. This endpoint requires no authentication — it is safe to call before you have a session.

No request body is needed.

Supported Amazon marketplaces

MultiCartAPI supports the following Amazon domains. All have supplier_type: "scraping".

In addition, two rest_api domains are supported: officeworks.com.au (id 24) and repco.com.au (id 25) — see The Officeworks domain and The Repco domain sections below.

The Officeworks domain

Officeworks is the single rest_api domain on the platform.

Unlike Amazon domains, Officeworks does not require cookie generation. When you create a postcode for officeworks.com.au, it becomes active immediately.

The Repco domain

Repco is the second rest_api domain — the automotive parts supplier.

Like Officeworks, Repco does not require cookie generation — a repco.com.au postcode becomes active immediately. Repco is postcode-driven with no store field (the postcode resolves the nearest store, freight, and availability), and it uniquely supports shopping by vehicle — see Vehicles & Fitment.

Using domain IDs in other calls

Once you have the id for a domain, you use it in several places:
