I've been fiddling around with the Albertsons API for fun. It's kind of neat to see a whole year's worth of purchases in nicely formatted JSON.

I have half an idea to create something like a personal inflation tracker, but I'm still thinking about it.

It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actually happening any more and that therefore we must cut interest rates, or some such.

Is it an official API? I’m not able to find any links about it, if you could provide some I’d love to look into my own purchases.

It's apparently an API, although it's both difficult to find, and apparently only available through an email request to Albertsons. The website is here:

The email request is at the bottom. mediacollective at albertsons

I was actually just looking at the calls the web site makes to a back end and using that.
