Channel Advisor Webhook and Product Fetch

[Ajith Vijayan]

Hi ,

I am working on a Django project in which I have to fetch all the products uploaded by my client in channel advisor platform. I am using the REST Api end points and python request module to fetch the data. Fetching of the products and its corresponding image and attributes seems to be taking long time. Client has around 3.5 lakhs products, but 2 days of continuous running has fetched only 22k products. Is there any other option to fetch the products much faster? 

Also my client made some changes in Channel Advisor platform, but I'm unable to reflect in my platform. Is there any webhook facility with Channel Advisor so that I can get notified about product changes in Channel Advisor platform? 

Thanks in Advance.

I think you might have better luck using Channel Advisor flex feeds.

I haven't used them personally but I know this is what our developer uses to sync our catalog once a day. We have a catalog of about 200,000 SKU's and we haven't had any issues. I have found the Channel Advisor API to be a little slow so I think this might work better for you.

The ChannelAdvisor API does not support webhooks, but there is a facility for async bulk product exports.  Hopefully this will be helpful for you.
