Overview
Before we can add value to your platform, you need to get your catalog data into Tweakwise.
To get your catalog data into Tweakwise, you have the following options:
- XML feed: Provide an XML feed to import your product data.
- Backend API: You can utilize the Tweakwise Backend API to integrate your product data programmatically.
- 3rd party integrations: Tweakwise supports various third-party integrations that can help you streamline the process of importing your product data.
Choose the method that best fits your workflow and technical capabilities.
The recommended way to import all your catalog data into Tweakwise is to generate an XML feed.
XML Feed
This feed should contain products, product attributes, and categories. There are a few options for structuring your XML feed:
There are a few options:
- Combined Feed: Includes both products and categories (Recommended).
- Separate Feeds: Separate XML feeds for products, categories or content.
XML feeds are always full imports, meaning that the feed should contain all catalog data at all times.
For incremental updates, use the Backend API (see below).
Backend API
Incremental updates to your product data can be done via the Tweakwise Backend API. This allows for more efficient and timely updates to your catalog without needing to regenerate and import the entire XML feed.
You can use the Tweakwise Backend API (REST) to import your product data into the system. This method requires programming knowledge to interact with the API, but it offers several advantages:
- Real-time Data Synchronization: The API allows for real-time updates, ensuring your product data is always up-to-date.
- Automatic Updates: Automate the process of updating your product catalog, reducing manual intervention.
Keep in mind that a full import using the API may take longer than using an XML feed, depending on the amount of data you have.
