Overview

WhiskyHunter aggregates statistical data from past online whisky auctions, letting you track price trends for specific bottles over time. No API key or account is required—just send a GET request and receive JSON data. It is ideal for whisky enthusiasts or developers building price comparison tools.

Beginner Tip

No API key needed—just call the endpoint directly. Use /api/whiskies_data/ to get a list of all tracked whiskies with their auction statistics.
