Structure JSON Data


Backyard API’s advanced data extraction returns accurate, structured JSON data ready to integrate with your apps. Our consistent JSON output takes the guesswork out of parsing products, reviews, offers, search results and category listing pages.

When using Collections you can also export data in JSON Lines for easy ingest into big data applications.

Custom CSV Reports.


Backyard API can also turn pages into customizable CSV reports. Use our CSV Builder, or use API parameters, to choose the CSV columns shown. CSV data is great for pulling straight into spreadsheets for analysts to use or importing into third party analytics platforms.

Original Page HTML Data


Use Backyard API’s HTML output mode to retrieve the exact HTML. There are many use cases for this including showing live previews to your users or customers and cross-checking the JSON/CSV data returned against the original page HTML.

Customize your CSV output.


When exporting data in CSV format, through the Home Improvement Product API or via Collections, you can use the Backyard API CSV Builder to specify the exact columns you require. Use it to easily create customized client-specific reports. Check out the docs for more information.
