Scrappa's GET /api/bol/autocomplete returns the suggestions of the bol.com search box for a typed start such as lapt.
Credits
One successful request with suggestions costs 3 credits. An empty answer and every failure cost nothing.
What you get
suggestions in bol.com's order. Each has a type (query, category or product) and a label. A query suggestion has search_term for the search endpoint. A category suggestion has category_id (for the category filter of search) and tag. A product suggestion has product_id and url.
Notes
Suggestions follow the storefront: country=be&language=fr returns French terms. If bol.com changes its search box, the endpoint answers 503 instead of returning wrong data.
