Five Below Stock Checker & API: In-Store Inventory & Pokemon

Five Below Stock Checker & API: In-Store Inventory, Pokemon & Restock Alerts

See how many units of a product every Five Below store near you has right now, and how many the online warehouse has. For every product you get the nearby stores, nearest first: exact units on hand, store name, address, distance, phone, hours, pickup and same-day delivery, plus the price, style, SKU, release date and Five Below's own sales figure. Search by keyword (pokemon, squishmallows, pokemon cards), fivebelow.com product link or SKU; check stores by ZIP code or city (up to 50 nearest stores each) or by store number.

Scheduled runs with Only report changes become Five Below restock alerts: a row only when a store gets a product back, gets a delivery (units went up), sells out, the price changes, or a new product appears in your search (a new Pokemon or Squishmallows drop).

Use cases: track products & prices, get deal & restock alerts, build market datasets of Five Below store inventory. No login, no app: a Five Below scraper and Five Below inventory API that returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

What makes it different

🔢 Exact units per store	unitsInStock = how many the store has on hand (109, 21, 0), not just "in stock"
🏬 Every store near you at once	All styles of all products at up to 50 nearest stores of each ZIP code or city in a few requests, nearest first, with distance in miles
📦 Online warehouse stock	onlineUnits = units in Five Below's ship center for online orders, next to the store counts
🧸 Every style is its own row	Squishmallows characters, poster designs, "styles may vary" items: each style has its own SKU and its own units
🔔 Restock alerts with deliveries	back_in_stock, restocked (units went up), out_of_stock, price_drop, new_item, with restock history and the usual restock weekday of each store
📅 Release dates and sales figure	releaseDate, comingSoon for products not out yet, avgUnitsSoldPast14Days from Five Below's catalog
✅ Works on the free Apify plan	No proxy setup, no cookies to paste: the Cloudflare session is handled and saved for the next runs

FAQ

How do I check Five Below stock near me? Put your ZIP code or city into ZIP codes or cities and the product into Keywords (or its link or SKU into Check products). Each row is one nearby store with the units it has.

Is the number of units exact? It is the store's on-hand count that fivebelow.com uses for "check availability in nearby stores". Shelves move during the day, so a store with 1-2 units may be sold out when you arrive.

Can I check Pokemon cards at Five Below? Yes: search pokemon cards or pokemon to get Pokemon TCG items, plush, puzzles and toys at every store near you, with units per store and in the online warehouse.

When does Five Below restock Pokemon? Schedule this Actor with Only report changes: every delivery shows up as restocked or back_in_stock, and after a few weeks usualRestockDay shows the weekday your stores usually get theirs.

How do I get Five Below restock alerts? Add the products (or a search) and your ZIP codes, turn on Only report changes, save it as a task and schedule it every 30-60 minutes. Connect email, Slack or Google Sheets in Integrations.

Where do I find the SKU? On the product page of fivebelow.com (item number), at the end of the product link, or in the sku column of any run.

Tips

• Rows = products × styles × stores, so start with a few stores and Only in stock or Minimum units.
• One request covers up to 100 SKUs at 50 stores: a wide radius costs no extra time, only rows.
• For a watchlist, use Check products with product links: the same products every run, no search noise.
• Use a separate Monitor name for each scheduled task.

Limits

• US Five Below stores only (fivebelow.com).
• Up to 50 stores per ZIP code or city and 50 locations per run; use several ZIP codes for a wider area.
• Searches follow fivebelow.com's own search, which also matches related products (a needoh search returns squishy toys of other brands).
