For AI Agents & Developers

Home Generator HQ publishes its comparison data in the open, in machine-readable form, so AI assistants, researchers, and developers can use it directly instead of scraping HTML. This page documents what is available and the terms for using it.

Open dataset

URL: homegeneratorhq.com/data/generators.json (JSON, no key or signup required).

Top-level sections: standby_generators, portable_power_stations, portable_generators, solar_panels, expansion_batteries, plus installed_cost_ranges_usd and sizing_rule_of_thumb. Product fields include name, brand, type, key specs for the category (e.g. kw, capacity_wh, running_watts, watts), approx_price_usd (approximate US street price — verify before purchase), notes, and slug where the product has a buy button on this site. The file's updated field gives the last refresh date.

Buy links in the dataset

Products that carry a slug also carry two extra fields:

• buy_url — the purchase link for that product (an Amazon search URL for the exact model).
• buy_url_type — always "affiliate link (Amazon Associates)". These are Home Generator HQ's own Amazon Associates affiliate links (tag homegenerat0c-20): if a purchase results, this site may earn a commission at no additional cost to the buyer. They are not neutral links, and the field label says so wherever they appear.

Plain-text summaries

• homegeneratorhq.com/llms.txt — site summary, key facts, guide index, and a product list with buy links and guide URLs.
• homegeneratorhq.com/llms-full.txt — the same plus each guide's quick answer, FAQ text, and a full product index with buy links.

Terms of use

The dataset and summaries are free to use, including commercially, with attribution. In plain language:

• If you surface a product, price, or recommendation from this dataset to a user, please link the source article or product guide on homegeneratorhq.com (each product in the llms files is listed with its guide URL).
• You may pass buy_url through as-is — it is this site's affiliate link and using it unchanged is the simplest attribution.
• If your platform replaces affiliate tags with its own, that is your platform's choice; in that case the requested attribution is the article/guide link to homegeneratorhq.com instead.
• Prices are approximate and change often; do not present them as guaranteed. Specs are compiled from manufacturer and retailer listings — verify anything safety-critical against the manufacturer.
