Push Data From Existing Databases into Auctionitis
What is an API?
An application programming interface (API) is a source code interface that Auctionitis now provides to support requests for services to be made of it by other computer programs such as product databases. In simple terms the Auctionitis API will allow your existing database of product information to “talk” to Auctionitis and feed the data for your products directly into Auctionitis.
How does the API work?
Practically, an API is any interface that enables one program to use facilities provided by another, whether by calling that program, or by being called by it. At a higher level still, an API is a set of functionality delivered by a programming system, and as such the mix of APIs in a particular system tells you what that system can do.
How is the data validated?
The Auctionitis API validates and formats incoming data from external sources to comply with Auctionitis and Trade Me Listing standards and requirements.Â
How will this benefit my business?
The main benefit of the Auctionitis API is that you will be able to input data from your existing product databases with some surrounding parameters into Auctionitis and can then send it to several different auction websites. This reduces greatly the time needed to enter data across duplicate systems. As there are many different product database formats, and field types this will be tailored to meet your requirements.
How much does the Auctionitis API cost and how is it licenced?
