Best Method for Importing Data via Feed

Import your feed data

Importing a feed is the first step to syndicating and distributing data. You may also want to add additional feeds to add further information to your product data.

Main Feeds : Every site requires at least one main feed. Adding additional main feeds adds more products and extends the data vertically.

Example: One Main Feed

Example: Two Main Feeds

Additional Data Sources : contain further information on the products to enhance and update the main feed. Additional feeds extend your data horizontally. You can set a feed as an additional feed by selecting the Additional Data Feed button in Content Mode.

From the drop-down menu, select the column from your main feed that contains your product identifier, for example, ID or SKU.

Enter the name of the matching column in your additional feed. The column name is case-sensitive. Columns in the additional feed that do not appear in the main data feed generate new columns in your product data. Note if columns in the additional feed also exist in the main feed; the values in the additional feed overwrite values for all items with a matching identifier.

Import data from a shop system

Introduction

It is possible to import the product data directly from shop systems.

In Data Sevices, APIs are available for the following shop systems:

• Bigcommerce

• Magento

• PrestaShop

• Shopify

• Woocommerce

• VTEX

To connect to these shop systems through an API, you must have:

• The API endpoint's URL.

• An API key/username.

• An API password/client_secret.

Please note: Usually, API credentials are different from your login credentials for the shop system.

Import your data from Magento systems

For Magento, a connection is possible through SOAP, XML, RPC, and API.

As a basic test, check if your browser can reach the WSDL page via a URL in this format: https://mymagentoshop247.com/api/soap/?wsdl.

If the setup is correct, you should see this information:

In Data Services, add the following information:

Magento SOAP URL: Enter the Magento URL you have set up to access Magento via SOAP.

Username/Password: Enter the Username and Password for your Magento SOAP account.

API multiCall size: Enter how many calls the Productsup platform should make. The default is 500.

Start index/ End index: Specify the first and last values of an ID range for the API to call within.

Store view code: Enter a store view code to download products from a particular store.

If you use Magento 2x, create a user with token-based authentication.

After creating a valid user, you can input the username and password into the data source interface on the Productsup platform. Next, enter the store URL.

The page size determines how many products the Productsup platform should extract with each call to the API. This number is set to 100 by default. You can adjust this depending on the capacity of your hosting server. If the load on the hosting server is too high, reduce the page size accordingly.

You can also adjust the number of concurrent requests by changing the value under concurrency. Note increasing concurrency puts a significant load on your server. Check your server's capacity beforehand to ensure it can handle such an increase.

With Magento Version 2.3, you may add a stock reference code to pull the correct stock information. In this case, switch off Include product details.

The standard way to handle product link information is to explode it, that is, split links into separate columns. However, exploding links can lead to too many columns resulting in an import error. If you receive such errors, set product link information to implode. This action merges all links into a JSON body or discards them.

If you use Magento 2.X using OAuth, you must first authorize the Productsup platform to access your account.

In Data Sources, select Magento 2.x (OAuth) and select your authentication from the dropdown menu.

The page size determines how many products the Productsup platform extracts with each API call. The number of calls is set to 100 by default. You can adjust this depending on the capacity of your hosting server.

PrestaShop

Before importing your data from PrestaShop you need to generate an API key in PrestaShop .

To import your PrestaShop data, enter an API Key , the Domain of your PrestaShop, and the Default Language Id . Select Save and run an import.

Woocommerce

In Woocommerce set up API credentials as follows:

In Data Sources, select Add Data Source and run an import.

Troubleshooting

Try adjusting the URL and authorization credentials based on the notifications you receive from Productsup.

It is possible to test REST APIs credentials in a standard browser depending on the shop system and the API version. Most API clients can make both REST and SOAP test requests.

The following are test URLs for the major shop system you can try in a standard browser:

• Bigcommerce: https://apiusername:api_key@www.exampledomain.com/api/v2/products

• Shopify: https://api_key:api_password@example-domain.myshopify.com/admin/products.json

• Woocommerce: https://ck_myconsumerkey:cs_myconsumersecret@example-domain.com/wc-api/v3/products

If the credentials do not work in the browser or API client. Try the following:

1. Add or remove www and other parts of the URL.

2. Add or remove slashes in or at the end of the URL.

3. Try HTTPS or HTTP.

4. Set up new API credentials.

5. Check the shop system forum for common errors.

VTEX

You can import your product catalog from a VTEX shop system in Data Sources.

Enter the following information:

Product Endpoint URL: Enter the call for desired products in this input field.

Category Endpoint URL: Enter the call for desired categories in this field. Import only downloads products from selected categories.

Whitelist Columns: Enter the names of the attributes you want to import as columns in this field.

Description: Optionally enter a description for the data source.

The VTEX - API Import with Authentication

Using the basic VTEX API only picks up "public" information. However, you can extract more information by establishing a secure connection to your VTEX environment. To make a secure connection, you must authorize the Productsup platform to access your VTEX account. In Data Sources, configure your import settings as follows:

Account Name : Enter your VTEX Store Account name.

Environment : You can select the environment to use. Options include vtexcommercestable and vtexcommmercebeta.

App Key : This is the username/key for the Authentication process.

App Token : The password associated with the App Key.

Whitelist Columns (optional) : There is a limit on the number of attributes imported from VTEX to the attribute names listed in this text area. If you leave this field blank, the Productsup platform imports every attribute from VTEX.

IBM Commerce on Cloud

To import attributes from your IBM Commerce on Cloud shop system, you need to enter the store and login credentials provided by IBM.

After that, select which of the following action you want to perform in Data Services:

• Merge - Download parent products and their variants. Variants inherit the attributes from the parent product.

• Product - Download parent products and variants. Variants do not inherit the attributes from the parent product and can be empty.

• Category - Download all variant categories per SKU.

Set a Timeout if needed. The default setting is 180. Timeout defines how often the Productsup platform checks if the file is ready. For instance, 180 means the Productsup platform checks your IBM Commerce account every 3 minutes.

Import data with the Website Crawler

Introduction

The Website Crawler is a service that imports additional product data from the website. You could consider using a Website Crawler in cases where product data is on the website but not available in the data feed.

The Website Crawler converts a website into a feed. This process is different from Data Crawler process that requires a feed. To add a Website Crawler, do the following:

Step 1: Add a data source

Select Add Data Source

Step 2: Configure settings

The Website Crawler automatically pulls data from your domain but requires some configuration. You must set up the Website Crawler to crawl your domain sustainably.

Also, make sure your web administrators know about any upcoming crawls so that the Website Crawler is not blocked.

Domain: Enter your domain (with www. if needed) without HTTP://

Start URLs: You can enter more than one URL for the Website Crawler to crawl.

Crawl Subdomains: Only activate this option if you have a subdomain, for instance: http://shop.yourdomain.com .

Optional - Crawl Websites via Proxy Server: You can configure your own servers to crawl the website as follows:

Select the Use Proxy Server button.

In the pop-up menu, enter the server host, username, password, and the port.

Link Contains: Enter a URL snippet to limit the number of pages the Website Crawler attempts to crawl. For instance, you could limit it to crawling product sites only.

Filters (include): Only links containing the filter's keywords are processed.

Filters (exclude): Links containing excluded keywords are not processed.

Please note: The Productsup platform uses exact matches for Link Contains, Filters (include) & Filters (exclude) which means that if you use the value /p/ the Website Crawaler seeks exactly /p/ .

You can use an asterisk as a wildcard character:

- If the value is */p/ it should end with /p/:http://www.test.com/p/.

If the value is /p/* it should start with /p/:/p/123456.

If the value is */p/* it means that /p/ can be anywhere in the string:http://www.test.com/p/123

This last syntax gives you the flexibility to create structures such as */cat/*/p/* that matches :http://www.test.com/cat/123/p/456

Question marks can function as a regular character or as a wildcard for a known number of random characters.

For example:*/???/*/p/* matches: http://www.test.com/cat/123/p/456

User-Agent: Credentials for the user agent.

Concurrent Crawlers: Set the number of active crawlers. You can start with a few and increase their number so long as the performance of your website is performance unaffected.

Note: The more crawlers implement, the faster the crawl, but you should balance this with your website's performance.

Retry on Error: Set how many times the crawler should initiate a crawl if the page is unreachable.

Crawler timeout per page (seconds): Set how long the crawler should wait for answers to its requests before aborting the operation.

Max count of pages to crawl: Set a limit on how many pages to crawl. Start with a limit of around 100, and gradually increase the maximum amount of pages to crawl. If your limit is too high, it could slow down processing for your site in Productsup, preventing you from importing and exporting while the Productsup platform waits for the crawler to stop.

Important: Check the Permissions checkbox to authorize Productsup to crawl your website.

Save changes.

Import data from an RSS feed

To import data from an RSS feed, select Add Data Source in Data Sources .

Search for RSS Feed and set it as the data source.

Enter the RSS feed URL and select Save .

Note that if your products exist on multiple pages, you must enter values into the Page Variable and First Page/Last Page Value fields.

For example, if the RSS URL is http://www.yournewsfeed.com/rss/xml?page=1, the page value is page . Alternatively, for http://www.letsfeedit.com/rss/xml?paginated=1: has a paginated page value.

Import data from an existing Google spreadsheet

You can use Google spreadsheets as a Main Feed or an Additional Feed .

In Data Sources , select "Feed/URL" as the data source. To add an existing Google spreadsheet, you must adjust the URL Google provides you.

In this example, the {key} in brackets is a variable and is usually a combination of numbers and letters in the spreadsheet's URL:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{key}/export?format=csv

The ?format=csv parameter makes the Google spreadsheet available as a CSV file. Note that only the first tab in the spreadsheet generates a CSV.

Import specific sheets

If your spreadsheet contains more than one sheet, and you want to import one of them aside from the first tab, you can do this by adding the GID . {gid}.

You can find the GID at the end of the spreadsheet's URL:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{key}/export?format=csv&gid={gid}

Import a range from a spreadsheet

If you want to import a specific area from your Google spreadsheet, you must add an additional parameter. For example: range=A3:C15 You can combine this with the GID parameter if you want to import a specific area of a particular sheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{key}/export?format=csv&gid={gid}&range={range}

In the end, your URL should have this format:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-WthisbAX9wdhTj5gjNjR9rBw10WAvfdfdfdy1o2TiZ20/edit#gid=666000148&range=A3:C15

Important: Set accessibility of the spreadsheet to accessible for anyone with the link. Otherwise, the Productsup platform cannot import the spreadsheet.

How to find your Google spreadsheet key :

The spreadsheet key is a long sequence of characters in the "key=" attribute of the URL. Alternatively, it might be present between the slashes in the URL.

Import data from a shopping platform

If no import feed is available, it is possible to import the product catalog directly from specific shopping platforms and marketplaces.

Import data from AliExpress

In PimCore, do the following to prepare your data for export:

Click on the Settings button on the left-hand menu and select Datahub Config.

Creating one config per category is better than batching several categories into one config if you have multiple categories and category-specific attributes. If multiple categories are present in one config, this could lead to the Productsup platform generating an excessive number of attributes, potentially throttling your import. Note that the Productsup platform cannot manage more than 2000 attributes.

Add a Datahub Config, define the general settings and the schema.

In the Security Definition tab, you can choose which documents, assets, and workspaces are available for export.

Set an object for an endpoint Productsup address. This example uses Product Data.

The tab also has a field for an API key. The Productsup platform requires an API key to the PimCore datahub.

Prepare your Productsup Account to accept PimCore data.

After preparing your PimCore account, you are ready to set up your Productsup account to receive the data. You can add your URL, endpoint, and API Key as a data source in Data Sources.

Import data through a Basic API request with JSON Response

To import from a paginated URL with JSON response, you can use our Basic API Request with JSON Response Import.

For instance, for the URL: "www.myonlineshop.com/export.json?page=1". The Productsup platform sends a request to every page to import all data.

Source: Enter the Source URL. This text includes everything before the question mark in the URL.

Parameter: If the URL contains any parameters in addition to the page parameter, add them here.

Username & Password: Add a username and password if authentication is necessary.

Import data from MySQL databases

Introduction

You can pull feed data directly from a database in the Productsup platform.

Prepare your data for export

1. Supported database types

Productsup provides connectors for the following database types: - ODBC connector to connect to every database supporting Open Database Connectivity - MySQL connector to connect to any MySQL database - PostgreSQL connector to connect to any PostgreSQL database - Microsoft SQL Server connector to connect to any MS SQL database.

2. Using SQL queries

With SQL (Structured Query Language), users can access multiple data records with a single command. For example, with a select request:

Table 1 "product_data"

id	product_id	title	type
1	222	book	direct
2	333	table	dropship
3	444	lamp	dropship

Table 2 "product_pricing"

id	product_id	price
1	222	9.99
2	333	69.99
3	444	49.99

Example: Execute the following requests:

select product_data.product_id, product_data.title, product_pricing.price from product_data join product_pricing on product_data.product_id = product_pricing.product_id where product_data.type = 'dropship'

It results in the following output:

product_id	title	price
333	table	69.99
444	lamp	49.99

Elements of the query

• select - the select command followed by a list of attribute names defines which attributes to include in the result.

• from - defines the source table(s) for the data.

• join - use this command when the data source is more than one table.

• on - lets users define which attributes to connect in the tables.

• where - specifies the conditions required for a result to appear.

Optimizing the query

You can make queries more concise by using aliases for long table names. You must add these aliases to the "from" part of the query:

select pd.product_id, pd.title, pp.price from product_data pd join product_pricing pp on pd.product_id = pp.product_id where pd.type = 'dropship'

Setting up SQL Data Sources

• Database Name: The name of your database.

• Username and Password: Your credentials to access the database.

• Query: A query in the appropriate format.

• Description: Add a description for your database.

Import data with a basic SOAP API

You can set up a basic SOAP API as a data source as follows:

Enter these details:

• WSDL URL

• The root node of the Response XML

• An Endpoint

• Request parameters

• Authentication (if required)

Select Save , and the Productsup Platform pulls data from this source on the next manual or scheduled import.

Import data from the Productsup API

The Productsup API offers a dynamic method to import product data.

Add the Productsup API as a data source

Go to Data Sources and filter for Productsup Platform API . Select the Add button.

Set up the Productsup API as a data source

For the Productsup platform to accept the Productsup API as a data source, you must configure the following:

- Product Update Mode: You can set this to either "update" or "replace." If left empty, "replace" is the default. If set to replace, your updates should contain complete information. If set to update, you only need to include the attributes you want to update.

Import process report email address: The email address you enter in this field receives notifications for each import. The email contains a log of the imported batch IDs.

Description: Change if desired.

Import product data from Amazon MWS

Note, this is a different procedure from importing orders from Amazon MWS. If you need help with this, check this document.

If your products already exist on Seller Central, you can import them into the Productsup platform using Amazon MWS as a data source.

Follow these steps to import your products:

1. Go to Authentication from your site's main menu. Select ADD AUTHENTICATION .

2. In Type , select Amazon Authentication (BETA version by Amazon ). You can customize the authentication description in Name . Now, select Next .

3. In Region , select the region for Productsup to manage your inventory.

4. The Productsup platform directs you to Amazon for authentication. Enter your credentials to connect your Productsup exports to Amazon.

5. Authenticate our Developer ID to submit report requests on their behalf. Contact your Account Manager to obtain this authentication.

6. Import the feed, and your products should appear in Data View .

Import data from Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage Data Source allows users to generate a CSV file from their Google Cloud Storage.

• Service Account Key: Enter a Service Account Key in JSON format.

• Bucket: Enter the name of the target bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

• Object: Enter the name of the target object file.

Note: Currently, Data Source only generates CSV files.

If you merge your main data feed with additional data information via Google Cloud Storage, the import process and merging can take a great deal of time if there is a large data set. To speed this process up, you can set up a Site-Tag that contains the information found as an object in the bucket in the site settings. This setting enables the site to look only for relevant information in the Google Cloud Storage file.

Example: You want your site "US_tablet-case" to import only the tablet cases from your Google cloud file.

• Tag your site with product_type: tablet-case in the site settings.

• In the Google Storage field Object , enter the object name in the bucket. In this case, tablet-case-product_info.csv . The site now only imports and merges the relevant information.

If you want to set up multiple sites with a changing set on product_types and product information for each site, you can automate this as the data source. You can also enable support for Twig and Site-Tag variables by default. The site tags can be set up automatically via the Productsup Platform API. The twig automatically pulls in the correct data based on the site-tag from Google Cloud Storage with the API enabled.
