Turn Target into a REST + MCP endpoint

Writ turns the Target actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

No Target API yet? Build one in minutes

Record the Target task once (search a keyword, then open a product) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on Target to ship an API.

  1. 1
    Record the Target task once

    Open the recorder and search a keyword on Target in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.

  2. 2
    Publish it as an endpoint

    One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/target/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    Call Target from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.

Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.

gap ▸ no public api 02
03
why

Target doesn't give you the endpoint you need

Target has no general public API for the storefront actions most teams need. Target has no general public API for storefront search, price, or store-level availability data.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Target task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/target/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

What you can call on Target

Each operation below is a real Target action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.

{ }read price and stock
{ }check store availability
{ }track an order

Returns structured fields such as product price, online stock, store availability, circle offer: typed JSON, not raw page text.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Target

The reason Target has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.

Target product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture per-store availability, and can sign into your account for cart actions.

Three ways to build your Target endpoint

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.

Record itOpen the recorder, search a keyword on Target once in a real browser, and Writ captures every step into a workflow.
Describe itTell an AI session your goal on Target in plain language, and it drives the page to build the workflow for you.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Target's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.

Trigger your Target endpoint on a change

Monitor Target for price drop, restock, store availability and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor Target ▸

run it

Free on your own machine, or on cloud

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Target even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Writ cloud

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

Target API questions

Does Target have an API?
Target has no general public API for the storefront actions most teams need. Target has no general public API for storefront search, price, or store-level availability data. Writ gives you a callable /v1/target/run endpoint that runs the real Target flow in a browser and returns structured JSON.
Is there a ready-made Target API I can use?
Record the Target task once in the recorder (search a keyword, then open a product) or describe it to an AI session. Writ turns it into a callable REST endpoint and MCP tool. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Target this way?
Use Writ on your own Target account and on public listings you have the right to access. Respect Target's Terms and purchase limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does this work with Target login and 2FA?
Target product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture per-store availability, and can sign into your account for cart actions. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the endpoint runs inside your own authenticated session.
Can I run it on my own machine?
Yes. Run it on a local or BYO agent for no compute charge — useful when Target is only reachable from your own network or VPN, and free on every plan. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage.
