Data source & limitations

Data comes directly from JD Sports UK's server-rendered pages (jdsports.co.uk) — no login, cookies, or paid proxy required. Category/search/brand listing pages embed a full JSON product payload per page (72 products); product detail pages carry standard schema.org/Product JSON-LD plus a stock endpoint for per-size availability.

• Ratings/reviews are not included: JD Sports loads its review widget via a third-party script that requires JS execution and isn't reliably reachable from a plain HTTP fetch — rather than fabricate a rating, the field is omitted entirely.
• Kids category coverage is narrower than Men/Women — JD Sports structures its Kids catalog differently (fewer sub-categories are exposed as distinct URLs). footwear-trainers, footwear-football-boots, footwear-all, clothing-all, accessories-all, accessories-sale, and sale-all are available for Kids; sub-categories like footwear-classic-trainers are not.
• Currency is always GBP, matching JD Sports UK.
• Fetching sizes/availability (via size filter or fetchFullDetail) makes one extra request per product — use a modest maxItems when enabling it on large runs.

FAQ

Do I need a JD Sports account or cookies? No — every field is publicly visible without logging in.

Why do some products have no wasPrice? Only currently-discounted products carry a wasPrice; full-price products only have price.

What sizes does the size filter use? Whatever JD Sports lists on the product page — UK shoe sizes (e.g. 9, 9.5) or clothing letter sizes (e.g. M, L), matched exactly.

Can I get every image, not just the thumbnail? Yes — set fetchFullDetail: true, or use mode: "url" with specific product URLs, to get the full gallery in images.

How current is the data? Live — every run fetches the current JD Sports site directly; there is no caching layer.
