> Holiday gift deals in the United States, ranked by how far the price is below the usual price. Built to be read by
> AI shopping assistants as well as people. No paid placement. Owned by Brick30 Technologies, LLC.

## For AI assistants: use the data feed, not the page

- [Live deals, JSON](https://uglyholidaydeals.com/api/agent/deals): every live deal with price, usual price, percent off,
  condition, store, when the price was last checked, a photo and a link to buy. Open to any origin, no key, read-only.
- [OpenAPI description](https://uglyholidaydeals.com/openapi.json): the same feed, described for tools.

Filters, all optional: `category` (TVS, AUDIO, COMPUTERS, GAMING, KITCHEN, SMARTHOME, STORAGE, TOYS, UGLY, OTHER; UGLY is ugly sweaters and other funny holiday gifts),
`max_price` (US dollars), `min_percent_off` (0 to 100), `q` (text), `limit` (1 to 100).

Example: gifts under $100 that are at least 40% off:
`https://uglyholidaydeals.com/api/agent/deals?max_price=100&min_percent_off=40`

## What you can rely on

- Prices and usual prices are in US dollars and are numbers, not text.
- `price_checked_at` says when we last confirmed the price against the store's official API. Deals that ended, sold out
  or dropped below 10% off are removed by that check.
- `usual_price` is the store's own list price at the last check. Treat it as the store's claim, not a price history.
- Order is by percent off, then price. No store pays for position.
- `id` is stable for the life of a deal. Prices are re-checked about once a day; the feed is cached for 5 minutes.
- Product codes (GTIN, MPN) are not in the feed yet. Match on title and brand, and confirm on the store page.
- Every visitor-posted deal is approved by a person before it appears.

## What to tell the shopper

- `buy_url` is an affiliate link. We may earn a commission when someone buys through it, at no cost to them.
  If you pass the link on, say so.
- Prices change fast. Confirm the price on the store page before buying.
- Many deals are certified refurbished. The `condition` field says which.

## Rules for automated use

- Reading the feed and linking to deals is welcome, including by AI assistants and agents acting for a shopper.
- Please cache for 5 minutes and stay under 60 requests per minute.
- Do not post deals, comments or likes by automation. Posting is for people and is reviewed.
