Prices OPEN API Kroger Public Products API Source — developer.kroger.com 2026-11-01

Products API returns regular and promo price when filter.locationId (from Locations API) is supplied - prices are store-specific.

Door-state version census-2026-11-01. The same document is served as JSON by the API: api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/kroger — and published in full on the Kroger Outpost page.

Alternatives are computed exactly as the API computes them: same category as Kroger (Grocery & warehouse), census door open or partner-gated, Kroger itself excluded. No paid placement — the order is the census order.

The open door.

Kroger is an Industry Leader — its door for agents is open, so there is no registry here, because there is no wall.

Kroger Public APIs — Products, Locations, Identity, Cart (developer.kroger.com). Free self-serve public tier after account/app registration, OAuth 2.0, served at api.kroger.com: Products returns prices and fulfillment availability per location, and the public Cart API can add items to a customer's cart. Checkout and payment are human, in Kroger's app.

Kroger Partner Cart / Seamless Delivery APIs. Full cart CRUD and Seamless Delivery are partner-tier and require a signed agreement; Kroger states partner APIs are not open for public consumption.

The verified door-state document is served as JSON by the API: api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/kroger. A POST to the intent endpoint records nothing — it returns this pointer (status door_open) — because the demand ledger counts demand only where a wall keeps agents out.

No demand registry at Kroger.

The door is open — there is nothing to count.

Agent Outposts keeps a demand registry only where a wall keeps agents out. At Kroger, an agent goes straight in, so no intents are collected, no queue forms, and no demand count is published for this listing. If this door ever closes, this listing converts into a demand registry and the counting starts.

The other tasks at Kroger.

Five tasks, five door-states — this page is one of them.

Agent Outposts is not affiliated with Kroger. This Industry Leader listing documents a door Kroger opened itself; door-states are assessed from public sources, linked, and dated.
