Nintendo eShop API

No. Nintendo has no public eShop data API. The Nintendo Developer Portal is for building and publishing games for Nintendo platforms; it does not offer store prices or catalog data to third parties. The Scavio Nintendo eShop API is a separate option: 6 POST endpoints on one API key.

Call prices with the game's item id and a country: it returns the price in that eShop's currency, with the regular price, sale price, discount and sale dates. Item ids are per region, so use the Americas id for us, ca, mx, br, ar, cl, co and pe, the European id for the European countries plus au, nz, za and il, and the Japanese id for jp. Mario Kart World read 79.99 USD, 109.99 CAD, 66.99 GBP, 79.99 EUR and 8,980 JPY on 2026-11-15. Nintendo eShop Prices API docs

Yes. sale_start and sale_end are the eShop's own sale window (ISO 8601, UTC), returned by prices, search, deals, product and dlc next to regular_price, sale_price and discount_percent. Nintendo announced a US eShop sale on select digital games from November 19 through December 2, 2026; Black Friday is November 27, 2026.

Nintendo shows no price history or historical low, so no endpoint returns one. Poll prices on a schedule (50 ids per call) and store each reading; 200 games read daily in one country is about 120 credits a month, since 50 ids cost 1 credit.

Nintendo numbers each game separately in each eShop region: the Americas, Europe (with Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Israel), Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong + Taiwan. Mario Kart World is 70010000095431 in the Americas, 70010000096802 in Europe and 70010000092842 in Japan. An id from another region comes back under not_found, and there is no cross-region title mapping: look the game up in each region once and store the ids.

46 countries. Search, product, deals, releases and DLC run on 42: the US, Canada (English or French), Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru; the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland (German, French or Italian), France, Belgium (French or Dutch), the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in their own language; 18 more European countries on the English European catalog with their own prices; and Japan. Prices adds South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Israel. The Philippines and Russia are not served.

In Europe and Japan, yes: every discounted game in the catalog, at the country's sale price. In the Americas it returns Nintendo's featured sale pages (the nintendo.com sales and deals pages), not every discounted game, with the sale page each item belongs to; check any other game with prices. Nintendo eShop Deals API docs

Yes. Every item carries platform switch or switch_2, and search, deals and releases filter by it in Europe and Japan (deals and releases everywhere). Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs come back from dlc with type upgrade, and the Americas product page flags is_upgrade. Nintendo had sold 26.35 million Nintendo Switch 2 consoles by September 30, 2026.

Yes. dlc takes a game's item id, link or Americas slug and returns each DLC, bundle and upgrade pack with its item id, release date, price and sale window in the country's currency. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate listed 69 add-ons in the US eShop on 2026-11-15. Nintendo eShop DLC API docs

Yes. product returns has_demo (and demo_nsuid on the Americas), European search filters to games with a demo with has_demo true, and Americas search tiles carry the store's Free demo badge.

No. Nintendo's stores show no user reviews or star ratings, so there are none to return. Each game carries its age rating instead (ESRB, PEGI, USK, CERO or CLASSIND, with descriptors on the Americas). There are also no best-seller charts and no search autocomplete.

Nintendo of America's website terms ask users not to use robots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means to access its websites to copy or extract data, and to get written consent before building third-party apps that interact with its services. We do not interpret them for you: read the current terms for your use case. You are responsible for your own compliance. This is not legal advice.

1 credit per call on every endpoint and country, and a prices call covers up to 50 item ids. New accounts get 50 free credits on signup, one time and with no card. Paid plans start with Hobby at $15 per month for 3,000 credits; on Growth credits cost $1 per 1,000, so a call costs $0.001. A 400 and a failed upstream call are not charged; a not-found is charged.

Every request reads Nintendo's store when you call it and carries fetched_at; nothing is cached. Most calls answer in 1 to 10 seconds; Americas search takes about 7 to 19 seconds. Set a client timeout of 120 seconds.
