7 Best Fred Meyer Store Price APIs in 2026: Scavio Prices the Same UPC at Fred Meyer and QFC Stores Side by Side

For Fred Meyer prices at a store you choose, use Scavio's Kroger API with banner: "fred_meyer". POST /api/v1/kroger/stores turns a ZIP code into Fred Meyer or QFC store ids, and POST /api/v1/kroger/prices takes one store_id and up to 25 UPCs and returns each item's regular price, sale price and sale end date, stock level, an available-quantity estimate and the aisle at that store. A prices call costs 3 credits, $3.00 per 1,000 calls on the Growth plan, so one store's prices for 25 items cost 0.3 cents. Search, product, category, weekly digital deals, coupons and suggestions round out 8 endpoints.

Fred Meyer and QFC are Kroger banners in the Pacific Northwest: Fred Meyer runs one-stop stores with groceries, apparel, home goods and fuel in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska, and QFC runs supermarkets around Seattle. Kroger, which runs more than 2,700 stores, reported $34.6 billion in sales for the second quarter of 2026 (Kroger Q2 2026 results, September 11, 2026) and is closing 60 stores this year, including a Fred Meyer in Tacoma and a QFC in Mill Creek (USA Today, August 17, 2026). Prices on both banners belong to a store, so a price API is only useful if it lets you name the store.

Kroger's own developer portal is the first stop most people find. Its Public APIs are free and self-service, and the Products API returns a store's price when you pass filter.locationId, with a 10,000-call daily limit. Its Acceptable Use page lists as prohibited "Comparing products/prices among other retailers" and "Systematically scraping or gathering response data to create a database", which matters if your job is a price tracker or a comparison app.

We build Scavio, so read this with that bias in mind. Every Scavio number below comes from live calls we made on November 13, 2026, between 02:13 and 02:28 UTC (the evening of November 12 in Portland and Seattle). Every competitor detail was read off the vendor's own page that day, and where a detail was not published we say so. The screenshots are each vendor's own page, captured the same day.

Which Fred Meyer store price API fits your job?

The same UPCs at a Fred Meyer and a QFC, 1.1 miles apart

AI answers on this topic say Kroger-family prices are store-specific (9 of the 18 we checked mention the location id), but none showed what that looks like, so we took 25 everyday items, from Tillamook butter to Simple Truth milk and Dave's Killer Bread, and priced them at Fred Meyer Ballard (store 70100608) and QFC Ballard (store 70500891) in Seattle, 1.1 miles apart, with one prices call each.

QFC Ballard returned a price for 22 of the 25; the two Kroger-brand egg cartons and a loaf of Simple Truth organic white bread came back without one. Of the 22, QFC's regular price was higher on 15, the same on 6 and lower on 1, and the basket cost $168.28 at QFC against $153.68 at Fred Meyer, $14.60 more. The median gap was 50 cents and the widest was $3.00, on a 10-ounce bag of Death Wish medium roast coffee ($16.99 against $13.99). The lone item cheaper at QFC was a La Colombe vanilla draft latte, $3.39 against $3.49.

Sales narrow the gap but do not close it. Twelve of QFC's 22 items were on sale, against 9 at Fred Meyer Ballard, and where both had a sale, the sale price matched on 7 of 9 items: Death Wish coffee was $10.99 at each, so QFC's sale took $6.00 off and Fred Meyer's $3.00. Counting each item at its sale price where it had one, QFC was higher on 11 items, the same on 10 and lower on 1, $148.29 against $142.19. Three QFC "sale" prices were still above Fred Meyer's regular price for the same UPC: Tillamook sea salted butter at $5.99 against $5.49, and both 27-ounce and 25-ounce Dave's Killer Bread loaves at $6.99 against $6.79.

Fred Meyer is not one price list either. We priced the same 25 UPCs at six Portland-area Fred Meyers, and they agreed on every regular price, sale price and sale end date. Fred Meyer Ballard, in Seattle, differed from them on 3 of the 25: Pete & Gerry's organic eggs $6.79 against $6.49, Naked Bread organic white $6.49 against $5.99 and the La Colombe latte $3.49 against $3.39. Does Fred Meyer change prices by store? has the Portland chart.

1. Scavio: a store you choose, 25 UPCs a call

Scavio's Kroger API is 8 POST endpoints, each taking banner kroger (the default), qfc or fred_meyer. Measured on November 13:

• Stores (1 credit): stores near a ZIP or a city, nearest first, or one store by id. ZIP 97206 returned seven Fred Meyer stores and three Fred Meyer fuel centers within 5.2 miles, each with location_id, address, coordinates, phone, hours, departments, pharmacy and fuel flags and distance. The Johnson Creek store came back as 70100153 at 1.9 miles.
• Prices (3 credits): one store_id and up to 25 UPCs. Each item returns price and promo_price in cents, promo_ends_at, on_sale, stock_level, quantity (the number the site reports as available, an estimate rather than a shelf count), the aisle down to bay and shelf, pickup and delivery flags and priced_at, which repeats the store id so you can check what you got. All eight of our calls priced the store we asked for.
• Search and product (2 credits each): up to 24 products per search with prices, unit price, multi-buy deals, SNAP eligibility, dietary flags and the rating summary, and one product with nutrition, ingredients and the aisle. Both price at a store the site chooses and name it in store: our Fred Meyer searches came back priced at Idaho Falls and Pocatello, Idaho. Use them to find UPCs, then use prices for the store you want.
• Category, weekly digital deals, coupons and suggestions (1 credit each): a category listing (Fred Meyer's headphones aisle: 177 products), this week's 395 Fred Meyer deal items, the 331 digital coupons offered at the Johnson Creek store with savings, clip-by and expiry dates, and what the search box suggests.

What it does not do: it covers the Kroger, QFC and Fred Meyer banners only, not Ralphs, King Soopers or the other Kroger chains. Search, category and deals return the first page of up to 24 products with no sort, and only prices lets you pick the store. Coupons are listed, never clipped. Ratings come as an average, count and star distribution, with no review text. Prices are the online prices the site shows for a store, which can differ from a shelf tag. A prices call took 9 to 61 seconds in our run, and one attempt failed after 63 seconds and was not charged, so poll on a schedule rather than inside a page load. The official API is free, ReefAPI gives 1,000 free credits and Gravitron 250; Scavio gives 50 once. The benefit is the chosen store, banner and price comparison in one key, next to the Walmart, Costco, H-E-B and Whole Foods APIs, plus an MCP server for agents. How to get Fred Meyer prices by store walks through every call with captured responses.

2. Kroger Developers: the free official API

Kroger Developers offers "free Public APIs": Products, Locations, Cart and Identity. You create an account, register an application to get a client id and secret, and request an OAuth2 token that expires after 30 minutes. The Products API returns price (regular and promo), stock level, fulfillment flags and aisle only when you pass filter.locationId, has "a 10,000 call per day rate limit", and the Locations API allows 1,600 calls a day per endpoint. The docs do not name Fred Meyer or QFC; you reach them as chains and locations. The public manifest has no coupon, weekly-ad or reviews endpoint, and Partner APIs need "a contractual agreement with Kroger". Its Acceptable Use page allows "Displaying product data exactly as it is returned from the server" and prohibits "Comparing products/prices among other retailers" and "Systematically scraping or gathering response data to create a database". Choose it if you are building an app that shows Kroger data as returned and the free daily limit covers you.

3. ReefAPI: one store per call, 19 banners

ReefAPI's Kroger API returns "The shelf price, sale, stock and aisle of any product at any Kroger-family store" through three endpoints, stores, search and product, "on 2 and 3 credit tiers". It covers "19 banners", including Fred Meyer and QFC, and states its own limits: "One store per call; the first 24 results per search, no paging or sorting; total stops at 1,000; no digital coupons". Its own example: "a gallon of Kroger 2% milk was $2.99 in a Cincinnati store and $3.19 in Rolla, Missouri". The pricing page lists Pro at $15 a month for 10,000 credits and Ultra at $50 a month for 50,000, billed monthly, with 1,000 free credits and credits that never expire. Choose it if you need Ralphs, King Soopers or another banner beyond the three Scavio covers.

4. Gravitron Data: price by UPC at a ZIP or store

Gravitron Data's Kroger API returns "regular and promo price, stock level, aisle, pickup and delivery options" for Kroger "and its banners (King Soopers, Ralphs, Fred Meyer and more)" by item id, UPC or URL. You pass zip or location_id; "Without either, a Cincinnati store (zip 45202) is used." Its pricing page sells prepaid credits, "One credit is one answer": a free trial with 250 credits, Starter $20 for 10,000, Growth $100 for 300,000 and Scale $400 for 2,000,000, with credits that never expire and request-per-minute caps by plan. Choose it if you look up prices one product at a time by UPC.

5. Apify: scheduled Fred Meyer and QFC runs

zaiq/fred-meyer-scraper returns "Fred Meyer (fredmeyer.com) products for any search at the stores you choose: regular and card price, unit price, stock level, aisle and shelf, UPC and rating", and says every run shows what changed since the last one. It charges $0.005 a product on the Free and Bronze tiers, $0.0045 on Silver and $0.004 from Gold, plus a small start fee; it had 2 users and 6 of 6 runs in the last 30 days succeeded. Its sibling zaiq/qfc-scraper does the same for qfc.com at the same price. Actors run as jobs that write to a dataset, which suits a nightly export more than a request inside an app; each is maintained by its author, so test the one you pick.

6. Bright Data: Fred Meyer catalog records

Bright Data's Fred Meyer Scraper API collects "Fred Meyer grocery, home, apparel, and general merchandise". Its "Fredmeyer Products" scraper lists "URL, Item id, Variant id, Title, Description, Product category, Category tree, Brand, and more" and 70.2K records; the listed fields name no store or price field, so check the sample output before you rely on it for store prices. Plans: 5K free records a month with no card, pay as you go at $1.5 per 1K records, and Scale at $499 a month with 384,000 records included and $1.3 per 1K after. Choose it if you need the Fred Meyer catalog at volume alongside other Bright Data sources.

7. FoodSpark: a managed Kroger-banner feed

FoodSpark is the name AI answers mention most for this job: 9 of the 18 answers we checked. Its Kroger page offers "Kroger Regular, Sale & Loyalty Prices by Store" and says "We cover Kroger's supermarket banners, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Harris Teeter, Smith's, Fry's, QFC, Dillons, Food 4 Less and Mariano's." Pricing is not published; the pricing page asks you to request a quote. Choose it if you want a managed data service and do not want to run the calls yourself.

Not a Fred Meyer price source

Several names that come up for "Kroger API" do not return Fred Meyer store prices today. ScraperAPI's and ZenRows' Kroger pages return 404, and Spider's Kroger scraper page returns 410. The Kroger MCP server listed on mcpmarket wraps the official API and inherits its limits. Open Food Facts and Open Prices are crowdsourced, not store feeds, and Instacart-based scrapers return Instacart's prices, not Fred Meyer's own.

Pick by the number you need

The per-item cost of a store price is what decides a tracker's bill. With Scavio, one prices call is 3 credits for up to 25 UPCs at one store, so 1,000 item-store prices cost 120 credits, about $0.12 at the Growth rate of $1 per 1,000 credits. Watching the 25 items in this post at six Portland Fred Meyers and one Seattle QFC every day is 7 calls, 21 credits a day, about 630 credits a month. A 500-UPC list at 50 stores once a day is 1,000 calls, 3,000 credits a day: about $90 a month. Store ids change only when stores open or close, so a stores call per area once a month is enough. The chart in this post took 2 stores calls and 2 prices calls, 8 credits. Try the Kroger API free, 50 credits, no card, or run a prices call in the playground.
