ShopSavvy Swift SDK

A native Swift client for the ShopSavvy Data API. Built with Swift concurrency (async/await) for iOS 13+, macOS 10.15+, tvOS, and watchOS.

Set up ShopSavvy Swift SDK

1. 1

   Get a ShopSavvy Data API key

   Create a key at shopsavvy.com/data. Keys look like ss_live_ followed by 32 characters. Keep it out of source control.

2. 2

   Install

   Add the ShopSavvy SDK to your project:

   .package(url: "https://github.com/shopsavvy/sdk-swift", from: "1.1.0")

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Set the SHOPSAVVY_API_KEY environment variable to your key (shell, .env file or your secrets manager), or pass it to the client as the README shows.

4. 4

   Make your first call

   From the shopsavvy/sdk-swift README (Client Configuration):

   import ShopSavvySDK
   
   // Basic configuration
   let client = ShopSavvyClient(apiKey: "ss_live_your_api_key_here")
   
   // Advanced configuration
   let client = ShopSavvyClient(
       apiKey: "ss_live_your_api_key_here",
       baseURL: "https://api.shopsavvy.com/v1",  // Custom base URL
       timeoutInterval: 60.0,                    // Request timeout
       retryAttempts: 3,                         // Retry failed requests
       userAgent: "MyApp/1.0.0"                 // Custom user agent
   )
   
   // Environment variable configuration
   let apiKey = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["SHOPSAVVY_API_KEY"] ?? ""
   let client = ShopSavvyClient(apiKey: apiKey)

Use Cases

What data, how often, which direction

Data

Product records, current offers from tens of thousands of retailers and price history back to 2011, dense from 2019, from the ShopSavvy Data API. Prices are in US dollars.

How often

Every offer carries the time it was last checked. With the Data API you can schedule refreshes hourly, daily or weekly for retailers we can re-check through an official retailer API; other retailers update as ShopSavvy sees them.

Direction

ShopSavvy data flows into your code. Requests carry only what you ask about (identifiers, search terms or schedules) and your API key.
