Hi,

I am an e-commerce integrations developer. I do integrations from economy systems, stock systems, payment gateways and a lot of other stuff. I ran into a project where would like to fill in ratings on a beer site using your services. We have our database sorted out for ratings and will store data locally and only update the total rating, the amount of ratings its based on but not actually the ratings it self.

We are looking for a slim integrations to populate the website at first. But we will follow your guidelines fully.

I can understand that the data is updated every sunday morning, hence I am looking at an integration that will run monday morning once a week, maybe even only once every second week. Immediate updates aren't necessary in our case.

We will credit RateBeer on the page.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Michael

Michael,

It sounds like an incredible service.  How far along are you?  I run BeerBridge.com and we are building a career and jobs portal for the beer industry.  Depending on where you are in your stage of operations, we should be able to partner and help each other out.  I know the business very well.  I am curious how you handle the high cost of shipping and logistic challenges.

Good luck!

Hi Jonathon,

I am sorry I wrote it all in Danish, some sort of brain freeze. I also apologize for the slow reply - things have been running fast this christmas :-)

About the site

The site sells beers for micro breweries from all over the world. The concept is to reach out to every brewer, regardless of size - only demand is that their licensed to sell. All these brewers can have their beers distributed through the site.

Consumers on the other side, can buy the beers on as a regular order or sign up for a beer subscription. The beer subscribers is getting a crate of beer every month/second or third month (after their own choice) with special beers from different brewers. There is ofcause a few settings you can choose from.

As for the Ratebeer API, we would like to just download and store beer ratings on the beers we have. We will not download and store user content from ratebeer, but encourage the consumers and brewers to rate through ratebeer.com directly.

This is more or less a regular e-commerce site, the only kicker is that through the concept we wanna share the joy, passion and delivery of various special beers from around the world. We know that a lot of beer enthousiats are looking towards ratebeer.com, therefore we just wanna integrate the actual rating from ratebeer.com directly on the products, and as mentioned above - encourage people to vote through Ratebeer.

If you prefer I can build a voting system directly on the e-commerce page, which pushes ratings from our users to your database as well. For this I will follow your every guideline to limit the stress of your server naturally.

I was thinking on limiting the calls to your api to once a week, run though our beers and see if any ratings have changed. I will call once for all the beers I have in the store, and leave it at that.

Ps. I have remembers to click the notify by email on your reply this time :-)

Thanks for your reply.

Michael
