Ibotta Product API

Single-operation product search API behind the Ibotta browser extension. POST /openai/search accepts an array of keyword queries plus limit / minPrice / maxPrice / storeId filters and returns products with name, price (including hidden-deal and price-range flags), image, product URL, merchant info, store id, view count, availability and unique identifiers (UPC/SKU). Published as OpenAPI 3.0.1 at https://ibotta.com/bex-api/api-docs.json and declared by Ibotta's own ChatGPT plugin manifest. Served from api.ibops.net — Ibotta's operations domain — and authenticated with a service bearer token; an anonymous call returns HTTP 401 {"message":"Unauthorized"}.
