The purpose of the 3D API is to provide external developers access to the Wayfair production grade models stored as realtime 3D assets. End users are able to call API to get models and product information.
The API allows for three levels of access:
- Anonymous users (access to a few models to get your feet wet)
- Registered users (access to over 100 models for further experimentation)
- Enterprise users (access to a much larger list of 30k+ models)
Anonymous users
The easiest way to try out our realtime 3D model api is to use the limited version of the endpoint ( https://api.wayfair.com/v1/3dapi/models_demo) which can be accessed directly from your web browser without the need to register.

The returned data will be a JSON array with objects like the following:
This will return a very small list of product and model information with the following fields.
The product object
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
sku string | the unique product identifier |
product_name string | the name of the product |
product_description string | the description of the product used on the product page |
product_page_url string | the url to the product page |
class_name string | product class name which can be used to group products together |
sale_price float | the sale price of the product at the time of the request |
thumbnail_image_url string | url of the thumbnail image for quick reference |
model model object | the model related to the product |
The model Object
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
dimensions_inches object | dimensions of the x, y, z of the model, in inches |
glb string | url to download the glb asset |
obj string | url to download the obj asset |
Downloaded glb assets can be viewed in a viewer like https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/

Downloaded zip files will contain the obj assets along with their textures.
Registered users
By registering you can have access to an expanded list of around 200 or so models.
You can register by making a post request to https://api.wayfair.com/v1/3dapi/sign_up?email=name@domain.com (replaced with your real email).
Since this is a post request you will not be able to run it directly in a web browser, and will require something like Postman ( https://www.getpostman.com/downloads/) to perform.

This in turn will send you an email with a randomly generated password that you will not be able to change.
Endpoint for registered users
The endpoint for registered users is https://api.wayfair.com/v1/3dapi/models.
To retrieve data you need to first select basic auth in Postman and then enter the email address you used to register and the password from the email.
The endpoint will then return data in the same format as the one from the anonymous endpoint seen above.
In addition the end point for registered users will also support the following parameters.
Params
Param | Description |
---|---|
skus[] optional | get specific model data by sku, for example: ?skus[]=abc123 for data on a single sku?skus[]=abc123&skus[]=def456 for data on multiple skus |
page optional | get a specific page, for example: ?page=2 for 2nd page of results note: results are limited to 50 models per page |
Enterprise users

Changes from previous versions of the API
Please note that the endpoint of the API has moved from https://www.wayfair.com/3dapi/models to https://api.wayfair.com/v1/3dapi/models.
Furthermore these endpoints have been deprecated:
- http://www.wayfair.com/v/api/three_d_model/product_information
- https://www.wayfair.com/v/api/three_d_model/models
This will means that you will no longer be able to retrieve product information independent of the models or retrieve models in any format except glb and obj formatted models. Please also note that Wayfair has stopped the generation of new obj formatted models, and will focus on the generation of glb formatted models in the future.
In addition the class_id filter capabilities are not part of the new endpoint as that used to belong to the product information endpoint so this means to filter for particular types of products you would now need to download the entire dataset, and then filter the JSON locally.
