Kroger

The Kroger Co. is the largest supermarket operator in the United States and runs a two-tier developer programme from developer.kroger.com. The Public tier is self-service after account and application registration and covers Products, Locations, Identity and Cart, each with a published daily call quota. The Partner tier — Carts, Catalog, Catalog V2, Identity, Locations, Products, Seamless Delivery and Locker Integration — is not self-service and requires a signed contractual agreement with Kroger. Every API is protected by OAuth 2.0 at api.kroger.com, with client-credentials access for catalogue and store data and authorization-code access, with explicit customer consent, for anything that touches a shopper's profile or cart. A separate certification environment runs at api-ce.kroger.com.

Kroger publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Groceries, Grocery Retail, Retail, E-Commerce, and Product Catalog.

Kroger’s developer surface includes developer portal, authentication, sandbox, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, support, and 20 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kroger: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
