For a Saks designer sale tracker, start with Scavio's Saks Fifth Avenue API. POST /api/v1/saks/brand takes a designer's slug with on_sale: true and returns only that designer's sale items, 24 grid positions a page, each with price, regular price, sale price and percent off, plus the count of the designer's items that are not on sale. /product lists every SKU with its online warehouse units, and a color and size call names the SKU behind each size, so a tracker can count units per size. Every Saks call costs 2 credits, $2 per 1,000 requests on the Growth plan.
Saks Fifth Avenue does not publish a public developer API. Marketplace sellers connect through its Mirakl marketplace, suppliers through EDI or vendor tools, and publishers through affiliate networks such as Sovrn and Takeads; none of these offers a public endpoint for searching the Saks catalogue. Saks Global, the parent company, filed for Chapter 11 in January 2026 and exited in June as Exemplar Luxury Group; saksfifthavenue.com keeps trading, while the Saks OFF 5TH site has shut down. Every option below reads saksfifthavenue.com.
We build Scavio, so read this with that bias in mind. Every Scavio number below comes from live calls we made on November 10, 2026, seventeen days before Black Friday, while Saks' holiday sale and its gift-card event were running. 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 Saks page, captured the same day.

A designer's sale is not the designer's runway
A tracker that watches "the Gucci sale" first has to know how much of a designer is on sale and how deep. We called Scavio's designer endpoint with on_sale: true once for each of five designers (twice for the two with 26 sale items) and plotted the percent off of every sale item.
Of 2,819 items from Versace, Golden Goose, Chloé, Burberry and Bottega Veneta, 90 were on sale, and 46 of those 90 were 50% off or more. The depth was set by designer, not by item: all 19 Chloé sale items were 55% or 64% off, while 24 of Golden Goose's 26 were exactly 25% off. Bottega Veneta's sale was 9 pairs of sunglasses, 8 of them at 40%. And the sale is not the runway: 25 of Golden Goose's 26 sale items, 14 of Chloé's 19 and 6 of Burberry's 10 were children's pieces by their titles. A "50% off Chloé" alert fires every day; a "Golden Goose sneakers for adults" alert, on this day, never would. One call per designer answers both, because the response counts the sale items (total) and, in its isSale facet, the items that are not on sale.
1. Scavio: one designer's sale per call, units per size
Scavio's Saks Fifth Avenue API is 9 POST endpoints on saksfifthavenue.com (US), all 2 credits. All 17 Saks calls we made on November 10 returned 200. Measured that day:
- Designer page:
{"brand": "versace", "on_sale": true}returnedtotal: 26in 10.9 seconds, with theisSalefacet counting 640 Versace items not on sale. The deepest item was a Draped Medusa Head Body-Con Gown at $1,436.39 against $3,990, 64% off, flaggedlimited_inventory. The other four designers took 4.2 to 9.7 seconds a page. - Product: Chloé's Loti Suede Platform Pumps, on sale at $607.49 against $1,350, came back in 1.7 seconds with 8 sizes (5 in stock) and 8 SKUs with
warehouse_units0 to 2. Five color and size calls, 1.4 to 3.3 seconds each, named the SKU for each in-stock size: sizes 38.5 and 39 had 2 units each, 37.5, 40 and 40.5 had 1, so the whole size run was 7 units. The SKU order did not follow the size order, so map them once before you count. - Store availability: size 39 of those pumps was "Not Available" at both pickup stores near ZIP 10022, New York (611 Fifth Avenue) and Greenwich. The same call for another SKU the same day returned "In Stock" with 141 units at the New York store and 15 at Greenwich:
units_at_storeis a number only where the site shows one. - Search: men's sweaters, size Large, up to $150, sorted
sale_first, returned 19 items in 6.3 seconds, the 17 on sale first, among them a rag & bone wool-blend sweater at $120.68 against $298. - Sale and new arrivals: the Sale list held 15,390 items across 536 designers, each designer with its own count in the
brandfacet.
What it does not do: no response carries price history, so the history starts the day you start polling. There is no review text, only the average rating on /product and the review count. There is no clearance or final-sale list, only per-item flags. Listing calls are slow, up to 10.9 seconds a page here, and a page holds 24 grid positions, sometimes fewer products when editorial tiles take a slot, so walk with next_start. Every call is 2 credits, where Bright Data's 5,000 free records a month and Channel3's 1,000 free credits a month recur and Scavio's 50 signup credits do not. In return, one key covers designer sales, sizes, store stock, the 1,196-designer index and an MCP server for agents, on the same key as the Macy's API and the Nordstrom API. How to get Saks Fifth Avenue sale prices walks through every call with captured responses.
2. Bright Data: records on a schedule, or a dataset
Bright Data's Saks Fifth Avenue price scraper collects "product title, item ID, variant ID, price, sale price, availability, variant attributes, and product URL", and pitches it for comparing sale price to regular price by designer and for stock and sell-through monitoring. Its scrapers take a URL, an item id or a sitemap. It costs $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go, or $499 a month on Scale with 384,000 records and $1.30 per 1,000 after that, with 5,000 free records a month; the page carried a 60%-off-for-3-months code on November 10. Its Saks dataset lists 934.7K records and 26 fields, from $250, and a separate Saks price tracker product starts at $2,000 a month. Choose it for large scheduled pulls delivered as files.
3. ScrapingBot: one product page per call
ScrapingBot's Saks page is the one Google's AI Overview cites for "saks api". It has one endpoint, POST /scrape/retail, that takes "Saks Fifth Avenue product pages" by URL and returns their fields as JSON. Every Saks call costs 10 credits, the free plan is 500 credits a month, failed calls are refunded, and monthly plans run from Starter at EUR 22 for 100,000 credits to Business at EUR 171 for 1,500,000. There is no search, designer or store endpoint, so you need the product URLs first. Choose it to re-read a known list of product pages.
4. Apify: grid exports from xhrdev's actor
xhrdev/saks-scraper is the only Saks actor in the Apify Store. It returns one row per product from a search or category grid: designer, name, price, sale price, product ID and image. It charges per product delivered, $3.00 per 1,000 on Apify's free tier, $2.70 on Bronze, $2.40 on Silver and $2.10 on Gold and above. Created on October 11, 2026, it showed 1 user and 45 runs on November 10. It lists no stock, size or store data. Actors run as jobs that write to a dataset, so test it on your designers before you depend on it.
5. Channel3: a multi-retailer catalog with affiliate payouts
Channel3 is a product search API across many retailers with a Saks retailer filter, built for "search, recommendations, and AI shopping agents". Its page adds that "Saks Fifth Avenue pays up to 2% on sales", so an app that sends buyers on can earn from it. Pricing: 1,000 free credits every month, then $0.007 a credit, with /search at 1 credit and /products free. Its pricing table lists no store or size-stock endpoint. ChatGPT named it first for "best API to get Saks Fifth Avenue product and price data". Choose it for cross-retailer search and affiliate revenue.
6. String: a page fetch you parse yourself
String sells a general web-fetch API and publishes a guide to tracking luxury prices and markdowns at Louis Vuitton, Saks, Neiman Marcus and Ralph Lauren. You fetch the Saks sale or product page and parse it in your code, or pass a JSON schema for structured extraction at an extra per-request fee. The guide says Saks pages bill at its premium fetch rate: $2.40 per 1,000 successful requests on Starter ($19 a month) and $0.90 per 1,000 on Growth ($99 a month), with $5 of free credit (pricing). Choose it if you want one fetch API for several luxury sites and are happy to own the parsing.
Also checked on November 10: Init Computer publishes one Saks endpoint, "Search Saks Products", with an optional designer filter; its credits cost $0.01 each, but the per-call cost of the Saks endpoint is not published. ScrapeIt sells a managed Saks feed from EUR 169 a month. DataFlirt and RetailScrape list Saks scrapers behind a quote.
Pick by the number you need
A designer sale tracker pays per page and per product, so count calls. Watching the five designers above once a day is 7 Scavio /brand pages (two designers need 2), 14 credits a day, 420 credits a month: $0.42 at the Growth rate of $1 per 1,000 credits. Adding 50 products' size runs once a day is 50 /product calls, 3,000 credits a month, $3.00, after a one-time size-to-SKU mapping of one call per size. Hourly instead of daily is 24 times that. For the same daily job, the others count as follows: Bright Data one record per product collected, ScrapingBot 50 product calls at 10 credits once you have the URLs, the Apify actor one charge per grid row (90 sale rows), Channel3 1 credit per search, and String 57 premium fetches (7 sale pages and 50 product pages) plus your parsing. Pick on the data you need before the unit price: a designer narrowed to its sale with units per size and store counts (Scavio), bulk files (Bright Data), known product URLs (ScrapingBot), grid exports (Apify), affiliate payouts across retailers (Channel3) or one fetch API for many luxury sites (String). Try the Saks Fifth Avenue API free, 50 credits, no card, or run the endpoints in the playground.

Frequently asked questions
Does Saks Fifth Avenue have a public API?
Not one that we could find, as of November 2026. Saks' programmatic channels are for partners: marketplace sellers connect through its Mirakl marketplace, suppliers through EDI or vendor tools, and publishers through affiliate networks such as Sovrn and Takeads. None of these offers a public endpoint for searching the Saks catalogue, which is why third-party APIs exist.
How do I track a Saks designer sale?
Call Scavio's /api/v1/saks/brand with the designer's slug and on_sale: true, and follow next_start until it is null. Each item comes back with price, regular price, sale price and percent off. Store those rows with the date every day and alert on a new id or a deeper percent off. Each page of 24 grid positions costs 2 credits.
How deep do Saks designer sales go?
It depends on the designer. On November 10, 2026, five designers had 90 of their 2,819 Saks items on sale, and 46 of the 90 were 50% off or more. All 19 Chloé sale items were 55% or 64% off; 24 of Golden Goose's 26 were 25% off, and 25 of those 26 were children's items. Totals move daily and more in Black Friday week; Black Friday is November 27, 2026.
What do Saks' terms say about collecting data?
The saksfifthavenue.com Terms and Conditions, effective August 31, 2026, say users "will not access this Website by any means except through the interface provided by Saks" and authorize viewing and downloading the Materials "only for personal, non-commercial use". They also say that "Availability of merchandise on our Website is not guaranteed." Read them and decide with your own counsel how they apply to your use.
How much does a Saks designer sale tracker API cost?
It depends on how the vendor counts. Scavio charges 2 credits for every Saks call, $2 per 1,000 calls at the Growth rate of $1 per 1,000 credits. On November 10, 2026, Bright Data listed $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go, ScrapingBot 10 credits per Saks call, the xhrdev Apify actor $2.10 to $3.00 per 1,000 products, Channel3 $0.007 per credit after 1,000 free, and String $2.40 per 1,000 premium fetches on Starter.
