The GlobalWineScore API is designed as a RESTful API, providing several resources and methods depending on your usage plan.

For further information please refer to our plans.

Authentication

The API uses token-based authentication. In order to authenticate your requests, you need to include a specific header in each of your requests:

Authorization: Token {YOUR-API-TOKEN}

The word Token must be written. Your requests must also use the HTTPS protocol.

If you don't have a token yet, you need to apply for one here.

Your personal token can be found under the My account > API section of the GlobalWineScore website

Format

The API provides several rendering formats which you can control using the Accept header or format query parameter.

• JSON (default): no header or Accept: application/json
• XML: Accept: application/xml

Rate limiting

For API requests, the rate limit allows for up to 10 requests per minute.

Error handling

Whether a request succeeded is indicated by the HTTP status code. A 2xx status code indicates success, whereas a 4xx status code indicates failure.

When a request fails, the response body is still JSON, but always contains a detail field with a description of the error, which you can inspect for debugging.

For example, trying to access the API without proper authentication will return code 403 along with the message:

{"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."}

Ordering

At the moment, GlobalWineScores may be sorted by date and score. Use "-" to sort in descending order.

Continuous synchronization

If you need to synchronize your database with our API, you can query our API using ?ordering=-date to get the newest scores first, which means you won't have to crawl the whole catalog every time :-)

Quick search interface

If you need to search our catalog (e.g. to align it with yours), we're providing you with a handy interface accessible here: https://api.globalwinescore.com/search/

You need to be logged in (email/password) to access this page, but other than that you can share it with anyone in your team and start searching right away !
