LYST

Lyst is a global fashion aggregation and shopping platform that consolidates products from more than 27,000 brands and retailers, connecting roughly 160 million annual shoppers with clothing, shoes, bags, accessories and jewelry across a single personalized, AI-driven catalog. Rather than a public developer API, Lyst exposes a partner surface: brands and retailers integrate via product-feed synchronization and a Stripe-powered "Lyst Shop" checkout, with API access granted privately during a two-week partner onboarding. Backed by Accel and Balderton Capital, Lyst also runs an engineering organization (making.lyst.com, github.com/lyst) best known for the open-source LightFM recommendation library.

LYST is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Fashion, E-Commerce, and Shopping.

LYST’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 4 more developer resources.
