Collections for High-Scale Apps

    Meet BigBox API Collections

    Collections allow you to run up to 15,000 Requests in bulk. Build them visually or via the Collections API. Set a schedule and have BigBox API take care of the rest.

    Built to Scale

    Collections allow you to enqueue large volumes of requests and have BigBox API execute them on a schedule. Collections remove the complexity of large-scale Home Depot Product Data collection and let you focus on the results.

    Bulk Import

    Easily import requests from CSV files – Collections make it easy to import your existing requests criteria from in-house tools or other legacy systems. We also provide a full API for creating and importing Collections.

    Schedule

    BigBox API Collections take the hassle out of scheduling requests to run repeatedly. Set Collections to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly – perfect for building tracking apps and viewing results over time.

    There’s an API for That

    Building apps that need access to mass-volume Home Depot Product Data? Use the Collections API to programmatically create, execute and retrieve results from hundreds of thousands of requests without any maintenance overhead.

    Collections API

    Create Collections, add requests to them, set execution schedules and retrieve results all from the Collections API. Deliver high-scale Home Depot Product Data apps and let BigBox API handle the details.

    Webhooks

    BigBox API sends an HTTP POST to your app when Collections complete. No need for status polling – get instantly notified when Collection results are ready for ingest into your app.

    Retrieve results

    Get Collection results as JSON, JSON Lines or CSV (it’s easy to specify which CSV columns to include). BigBox API retains Collection results for 14 days so you can ingest the results into your app on your schedule.

    Visual Collection Builder

    The Collections API gives extreme flexibility in building high-scale Home Depot Product Data apps but we also provide a visual Collection Builder to get started without coding a thing.

    Build Collections visually

    Get started in a snap. Our simple visual Collection Builder lets you create Collections, add Requests to them, and download results all from the BigBox API Dashboard.

    Extreme flexibility

    Create up to 10,000 Collections, and add up to 15,000 requests per Collection. Get notified of Collection completions via email or webhook and download results as JSON or CSV.

    Everything you need

    The Collection Builder gives you all the tools you need – set request parameters and scheduled, and access all request query options from the Home Depot Product Data API

    Collections Frequently Asked Questions

    How many Collections can I set up?

    You can have up to 10,000 Collections set up on your BigBox API account at any one time. For example, many users create a Collection per-customer when offering tracking services, to easily manage all required Web-scraped Home Depot Product Data over time.

    How many requests are allowed per Collection?

    We allow up to 15,000 requests per Collection. For really large projects we recommend you split your requests across multiple Collections (we have clients who run over 10 million requests per day using multiple Collections).

    How are Collections charged?

    There is no charge for creating, updating or deleting Collections. When Collections are run they decrement your monthly request quota just like calls to the Home Depot Product Data API

    How long are Collection results stored?

    BigBox API stores the results from Collection runs (called Result Sets in BigBox API-terminology) for 14 days. You can download result sets as many times as you need within the 14 day period.

    What scheduling options are available?

    You can schedule Collections to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly or any combination in between. For example, you could set a Collection to run at 8am and 3pm daily, or 9am on the 1st of each month.

    How do I know when a Collection completes?

    BigBox API can alert you to completed Collections and new result sets available for download, via email or via a HTTP POST to a webhook on your infrastructure.

    How do I get Collection results?

    Collection results are available for download via the BigBox API Dashboard, or the Collections API. Results are available as JSON or CSV and you can specify the columns included within the CSV.
