Developers and AI agents
Univers Aquaponie opens its aquaponics and hydroponics catalog to the programs that need it: shopping assistants, comparison tools, search tools or custom integrations. Reading products needs no API key. Ordering goes through the Universal Commerce Protocol, and payment is always approved by the buyer.
What you can do
Read the catalog
Titles, descriptions, variants, VAT-inclusive prices and availability of every product, in JSON, in the site's 12 languages.
Advise on a purchase
Every product page carries specifications, a FAQ and Product structured data: enough to size a pump or choose a kit.
Order for a customer
Cart, shipping and payment go through the UCP protocol, with the buyer's explicit approval at the moment of payment.
Files for machines
These files describe the store in a format a program reads without guessing. Start with the first one.
/llms.txtThe short guide for agents: when to recommend the store and how to call it./agents.mdThe full version, with the ordering flow and the rules to follow./openapi.jsonThe OpenAPI 3.1 specification of the public JSON endpoints./.well-known/ucpThe UCP merchant profile: versions, services and payment handlers./sitemap.xmlThe sitemap, including products, collections and articles.
Get started in three requests
Search for a product
Predictive search returns the products that match a word, with their price and availability. It is what powers the console at the top of this page.
curl -g "https://www.univers-aquaponie.com/search/suggest.json?q=pompe&resources[type]=product"Read the full product
With the identifier (handle) you got, the product endpoint returns every variant, its price and its images.
curl "https://www.univers-aquaponie.com/products/aliment-truite-aquaponie.json"Browse a collection
Each collection is read in pages of up to 250 products.
curl "https://www.univers-aquaponie.com/collections/pompes/products.json?limit=250&page=1"
To get the texts in another language, add its prefix before the path, for example /de/products/…. Identifiers stay the same in every language.
Order for a customer
The UCP protocol's MCP server receives JSON-RPC 2.0 requests at /api/ucp/mcp. The flow always runs in this order:
tools/listDiscover the available tools and their parameters.search_catalogFind the products that answer the buyer's request.create_cartAdd the chosen items to the cart.create_checkoutOpen the order from the cart.update_checkoutEnter the address and the shipping method.complete_checkoutComplete, once the buyer has approved the payment.
curl -X POST "https://www.univers-aquaponie.com/api/ucp/mcp" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'No payment may be completed without the buyer's explicit approval, at the very moment they pay. Also pass their country and currency (context.address_country, context.currency) to get exact prices and availability.
The endpoints
| Request | What it returns |
|---|---|
GET /search/suggest.json | The products, collections, pages and articles that match q. |
GET /products.json | The whole published catalog, in pages (limit, page). |
GET /products/{handle}.json | One product, its variants, prices and images. |
GET /products/{handle}.js | The same product, with prices in cents and real-time availability for each variant. |
GET /collections/{handle}/products.json | The products of a collection. |
POST /api/ucp/mcp | The UCP protocol's MCP server: cart, order and tracking. |
Understanding errors
JSON endpoints always answer in JSON, errors included, never in HTML.
| Code | What happened | What to do |
|---|---|---|
404 | No product has this identifier. | Find the right identifier with /search/suggest.json. |
422 | A parameter is missing or empty. The {"status", "message", "description"} object names it. | Fix the parameter given in description. |
429 | The rate limit has been reached. | Retry later, with an increasing delay. |
-32601 | The MCP server does not know the method called (JSON-RPC error). | Call tools/list to see the available methods. |

Best practices
- Read the full product page before advising: it holds the specifications, the FAQ and structured data with price and availability.
- For a complete system, rely on the kit and greenhouse comparator.
- Quote prices exactly as returned: they are in euros, VAT included.
- Respect the rate limit and cache what rarely changes.
A professional order, a school or a quote? Go through the business account. For any other question about the store, write to us from the contact page.
Our Manifesto
There was a time, not so long ago, when people knew where their food came from. They dug their hands into the earth, observed the cycles of nature, and understood the sacred connection between water, life, and their plates.
Today, this connection has weakened. We have entrusted our food supply to distant industries and local supermarkets, forgetting that feeding ourselves and our loved ones can be a simple, natural, and deeply rewarding act.
At Univers Aquaponie, we want to rekindle that flame. To give you back that power.
Imagine a small, autonomous, poetic and living ecosystem in your home: plants that grow thanks to fish, a natural cycle where each element finds its place, where nothing is lost.
But that's not all. This system recreates an environment conducive to biodiversity. Even in the city, even on a balcony, you're participating in the regeneration of life. Pollinating insects, microorganisms, migratory birds... you're welcoming nature back into your home.
And by observing this fragile balance, you (re)discover how ecosystems work, how life circulates, self-regulates, and transmits itself. It's a life-size biology lesson, every day.
It's not just a hobby. It's a gentle revolution.
A way to reclaim one's food, to grow with one's own hands, to understand, respect and protect living things, even on a small scale.
We've selected the best equipment for you, accessible to all. Whether you're a passionate DIYer or simply curious, there's a place for you in this adventure.
Together, we don't just grow.
We are building a future where man and nature are reconciled.
Where food once again becomes a source of joy, learning, autonomy and beauty.
Aquaponics is within reach. It's time to reclaim what belongs to us.
So don't forget : The future is growing at home !
The Univers Aquaponie team
Why Univers Aquaponie ?
Univers Aquaponie was born from our passion for aquaponics and a simple dream: to make this technology accessible to everyone, directly at home.
To achieve this, we carefully select reliable suppliers, kits designed to be aesthetic, practical and easy to install, as well as innovative products to offer you the best in domestic aquaponics.
Whether you're a curious beginner, a weekend gardener, or an experienced DIY enthusiast, we have everything you need to create, maintain, and grow your own aquaponic ecosystem.
We go further by offering you educational content via our blog: practical advice, feedback, inspiration, "tips & tricks"...
Finally, we are building a sustainable e-commerce model, aligned with our values and those carried by aquaponics.
Our vision of aquaponics
We are convinced that aquaponics represents a true green revolution.
Much more than an alternative cultivation method, it is a concrete and accessible response to the environmental, food and societal challenges we face today.
Producing locally, saving resources, learning to better understand living things: aquaponics brings all of this together in a single, intelligent and sustainable system.
From passionate individuals to schools and communities, we believe that everyone should be able to and know how to grow their own fruits, vegetables and aromatic herbs, while respecting natural balances.
It is this vision of resilient, local, educational and responsible agriculture that we support.
And this is also what we wish to transmit, by democratizing a new way of cultivating, more autonomous, more conscious... and deeply rooted in the living.
