You can access the JSON interface by all Icecat Data (XML, CSV, or JSON) users with at least an Open Icecat account. Open Icecat users can access the data of the sponsoring brands.

This does not mean that the data is not accessible or correctly available on our side. If you try to download them via your browser, you may sometimes experience memory problems. The links and files in the download directories are to be downloaded with scripts (from server to server).We’re working on simplifying the authorization process in the case of JSON data, making it comparable with the Full Icecat XML data access. In the case of Full Icecat data access or retrieval of private brand assets, authorization may be required, and a proper server certificate is to be used.For the use of indexes and repositories and more in-depth insight into the Icecat data model, we refer to the XML document.
