Filter grammar (shared with the website)

Every f_{slug} parameter works identically on the JSON API and the HTML category pages, so any filtered API query has an equivalent shareable storefront URL and vice versa.

FormMeaningExample
f_{slug}={value}Text attribute equals valuef_material=Steel
f_{slug}={min}:{max}Numeric range (inclusive min, exclusive max)f_load-capacity-lbs=2000:5000
f_{slug}={min}:Open-ended minimumf_raised-height-in=40:
f_{slug}=:{max}Open-ended maximumf_lowered-height-in=:8

Discover every available slug, its unit and datatype at /api/v1/attributes — 389 standardized attributes including load-capacity-lbs, fork-length-in, platform-width-in, power-type, material and osha.

Single product

GET https://materialhandling.com/api/v1/products/EHLT-4884-2-67

Accepts a SKU, URL slug or numeric id. Returns everything in the list shape plus gtin, mpn, all images, the complete specifications array (slug, name, value, numeric_value, unit) and compatible_products — verified accessory/replacement-part links only, sourced from manufacturer manuals and verified imports, never inferred.

Usage notes

  • Rate limits: fair use — cache responses and use per_page up to 100 for bulk reads. Contact [email protected] for feed access or authenticated pricing.
  • Prices are list prices in USD; volume and contract pricing is available by quote.
  • Stability: v1 is additive-only — fields may be added, never removed or renamed. Breaking changes will ship as /api/v2.
  • Selection tools: our sizing calculators are built on the same filter grammar — a good reference for building your own.
