403 for all request to US stores

[JK-TC]

Looks like IKEA has changed up their API. Subscribing in hopes that somebody finds a workaround.

[Ephigenia]

The api.ingka.ikea.com API doesn’t support all details but at least the current stock available for pickup and the restore probability.

The API requires just the "x-client-id"-header to be present and contain a valid API key. For US stores the API key used in the Browser is "da465052-7912-43b2-82fa-9dc39cdccef8" and works:

curl 'https://api.ingka.ikea.com/cia/availabilities/ru/us?itemNos=00494394&expand=StoresList,Restocks&' \
-X 'GET' \
-H 'x-client-id: da465052-7912-43b2-82fa-9dc39cdccef8'

{
	"availabilities": [
		{
			"buyingOption": {
				"cashCarry": {
					"availability": {
                        "probability": {
                            "thisDay": {
                                "messageType": "HIGH_IN_STOCK"
                            }
                        },
                        "quantity": 2
                    },
                    "unitOfMeasure": "PIECE"
				}
			}
			"classUnitKey": {
				"classUnitCode": "026", // store code
				"classUnitType": "STO"
			},
		}
	]
}

I’ll make adjustments to the code so that this API also works.

Hi @Ephigenia thank you very much for this wonderful project. Could you plz point me In the right direction on how to mod the script to use that API ? I'm a non-programmer searching us stores . Stay awesome

[Ephigenia]

Yes, more and more countries don’t work anymore. I’m planning to create a smoke test shell script that tests every country and puts the results in a table. If someone wants to contribute … it‘s welcome :)

All PL stores are returning 403 error code too...

subbed. same problem. hope this project gets revived.

For those that are just hopiing to check for availablity on a specific product, I found an endpoint that works. It's the one that is getting called from the product page on their site (USA). I'm sorry, I'm not able to see how this works for other countries right now, but hopefully it helps some people out or starts them down the right path.

Here's an example request:
https://api.ingka.ikea.com/cia/availabilities/ru/us?itemNos=20487415&zip=32746&expand=Restocks,SalesLocations.

You'll need to pass some header params, here's what I'm usng just to mimic the web browser. Your client id needs to be unique and you can get one from inspecting requests to the same endpont in your browser.

'x-client-id': <insert client id here>
'accept': 'application/json;version=2',
'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
'origin': 'https://www.ikea.com',
'referer': 'https://www.ikea.com/',
'sec-fetch-dest': 'empty',
'sec-fetch-mode': 'cors',
'sec-fetch-site': 'same-site',
'sec-gpc': '1',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.4896.88 Safari/537.36'

@JK-TC thanks for that hint! I’ll investigate this

This package uses the undocumented iows2 api by IKEA which doesn’t work for several countries anymore: be, cn, fi, fr, gb, hk, ie, jp, kr, my, pl, ru, sg, th, tw, us

If you want to get availabilities for those countries please consider testing the alpha channel of this package by installing the "2.0.0-alpha.1" version:

npm install -g [email protected]

Thank you!

Note: There's a typo in the npm command in the above comment. It should read:

npm install -g [email protected]

(check -> checker)

[Ephigenia]

@BHSPitMonkey thanks! Got it fixed.

[okniazik]

Hi, I'm trying to test the alpha channel, and I do npm run start -- stock --country pl 80382321. Got an error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'stock') at C:\ikea\node_modules\ikea-availability-checker\source\cli-stock.js:152:65 at Array.filter (<anonymous>) at C:\ikea\node_modules\ikea-availability-checker\source\cli-stock.js:152:32 at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

@okniazik I’ve created an issue for this, will be fixed in a few minutes …
