Product import through API or Feeds

What is API?

API is a technical solution through which you can synchronize your online sales platform with the eMAG Marketplace platform, for listing and managing offers, but also for order processing.

The import of products through API

Using the API import, you can benefit from a series of options such as:

• Rapid publication of products on the eMAG Marketplace;
• Quick updating of product data (stocks, documentation, prices, etc.);
• You can integrate products through API for Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary;
• It allows you to synchronize categories, VAT, stock and other options;
• Using API synchronization, you can send offers and products on eMAG Marketplace;
• You can schedule daily updates of your products, stocks, statuses, and offers;
• Allows the import of orders from the eMAG Marketplace directly into your store;
• You can easy manage orders received;
• View and update predefined statuses on the eMAG Marketplace;
• You have the same order payment methods as on eMAG Marketplace;
• You have additional fields available for delivery methods.

To import your products through API, you must follow the steps below:

• Download the API documentation received from us and make sure to download its updated version each time a new version is released. 
• Depending on the platform of your online store, choose a connector to integrating it with eMAG Marketplace. You can also do API integration through in-house development, and use the connector you developed, if you already have one.
• Make sure you are using the correct API URL, user data, and password sent by our support colleagues.
• Use the same product ID both on the eMAG Marketplace and on your website to make integration easier and to avoid errors or duplicate products.
• Regarding sending products via API, we advise you to make more simultaneous calls with fewer products, than a call with too many products that could have errors.
• Because there is no process in which you can test this solution in advance, we recommend that you start API integration with the first five products to make sure you follow the correct steps and your products are validated.
• It is ideal for your product ID to be in your database, when you upload products manually or via XLS, so future API integration will be easy to do.
• As with other product uploads, the import of products via API is subject to the validation process. Each new product submitted must have complete and correct documentation. The documentation team will verify the documentation, and they will comply with eMAG standards, your products will be published on the site.
