title: HortOS buyer API (Australia) Quote API
version: '1'
summary: Search wholesale growers' live stock lists and price a whole plant list, Australia.
description: 'HortOS is Australia''s live wholesale plant market. This API answers two questions with the same data the site shows: who lists a plant (and from what trade price), and what a whole plant list costs from growers near a job. Prices are AUD, ex GST, set by each grower. NOTHING HERE PLACES AN ORDER: pricing a list returns quote_url, a page a person opens, checks and sends; each grower then confirms stock and freight. No key is needed. Please keep use to what a person would ask for; heavy use is slowed down (HTTP 429, or 503 when the pricing engine is busy). Trade only.'
