Browse the Officeworks Catalogue

GuideUpdated 2026-06-20

The Officeworks catalogue endpoints let you browse the live category tree and pull paginated product lists — including SKU codes, pricing, and ratings — without consuming any scrape credits. Use them to discover the right seo_path and collect SKUs before adding them to a collection.

In the dashboard

Open Officeworks from the sidebar and click Catalogue.
The category tree loads on the left. Click any category name to expand its children.
Select a leaf category to see a paginated product list on the right with SKU, title, brand, and price.
Use the Sort dropdown to reorder by price, name, or rating.
Copy the SKU codes you need and use them when adding items to a collection.

Via the API

There are two catalogue endpoints: one to browse the category tree and one to list products within a category.

Browse the category tree

Browse Category Tree

POST

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

API Key or Session Token

Returns the Officeworks category tree, optionally filtered to a subtree by seo_path or flattened to a plain list. Category data is proxied from the Officeworks public API and cached server-side for 24 hours.

Parameter	In	Type	Required	Default	Description
`flat`	body	boolean	Optional	false	When true, return a flat array of all matching categories 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.

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" }'

Response

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

No match returns an empty array

When seo_path does not match any category the response returns total: 0 with an empty categories array rather than an error. Omit both parameters to retrieve the entire tree.

List products in a category

List Products in Category

POST

`recursive`	body	boolean	Optional	false	When true, include products from all descendant categories in addition to the specified category.
`page`	body	integer	Optional	0	Zero-indexed page number.
`page_size`	body	integer	Optional	100	Number of products per page. Maximum 1000.
`sort`	body	string	Optional	bestmatch	Sort order. One of: `bestmatch`, `newest`, `name`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`, `rating_asc`, `rating_desc`.
`search`	body	string	Optional	—	Optional keyword filter applied within the category results.

Paginating large categories

Pagination is zero-indexed. After the first call, check total_pages in the response and increment page until you have fetched all results. Setting recursive: true pulls products from all child categories in a single query — useful for broad parent categories like technology, though page counts will be higher.
