Is there an API for Vitals?

Vitals does not offer a public data API for this, but Anakin Wire provides 8 maintained endpoints for vitals.nl. You call Anakin's REST API with an action ID and parameters and get structured JSON back; Anakin handles the browser, proxies, anti-bot, and parsing.

How do I scrape Vitals data?

POST to https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task with your API key, the action ID, and its parameters, then poll GET /v1/wire/jobs/{id} until the job settles. There is nothing to install and no scraper to maintain — when vitals.nl changes its markup, Anakin updates the action.

Do I need a Vitals account?

Some Vitals actions read data that is only visible when signed in, so those need a credential you connect once. Actions marked "read" without a login requirement run anonymously.

What does the Vitals API cost?

Usage-based credits, charged per call and refunded automatically when a job fails. New accounts start with 300 free credits and no card. See anakin.io/pricing for the current rates.

List Products
vt_list_productsreadlogin required2 credits / call
Browse the Vitals range — one category or the whole catalogue — with your account's own prices when you are signed in. Each product comes back with its name, article number, price, stock status and packaging. Filter by price or stock, and cap how many you get back.

Search Products
vt_search_productsreadlogin required2 credits / call
Search the Vitals range by product name, EAN barcode, article number (e.g. V3372) or Z-Index code. A barcode or article number returns a single exact match, which makes this the dependable way to look up order lines. Results carry standard prices; turn on resolve_prices to get your account's own price for each hit.

View Basket
vt_get_cartreadlogin required2 credits / call
See what is in your Vitals basket right now: every line with its quantity, your unit price and line total, plus the subtotal, any volume discount, VAT and the total. This is your real basket — the same one you see when you sign in to the website.

Add Items to Basket
vt_add_items_to_cartwritelogin required2 credits / call
Add a whole order to your Vitals basket in one call. Every line is matched to a product, set to the quantity you asked for, checked against the price you expected and confirmed against the basket afterwards — so you get a per-line report of what went in, what could not be matched and where prices differ. Up to 50 lines per call. Updates your real basket; it never places an order.

Add to Basket
vt_add_to_cartwritelogin required2 credits / call
Add one product to your Vitals basket, or change the quantity of one already in it. Identify the product by barcode, article number, name or product ID. The quantity you give is the final quantity for that line rather than an amount added on top, so running this twice will not double the line. Updates your real basket; it never places an order.

Empty Basket
vt_clear_cartwritelogin required2 credits / call
Empty your Vitals basket, removing every line and confirming it is empty afterwards. The removed lines come back in full so you can put them back if you need to. This clears your real basket, so it only runs when you set confirm to true — otherwise it just reports what it would remove.
