You have a data feed? How do I get it?

[frankodelic]

As a matter of fact, I've just discovered that we do have a data feed available through Shareasale.

Brian is currently updating our Product Database and it will be available via data feed and normal means shortly.

Details will be provided once they've been fleshed out.

[missdonna]

Thanks, Som. It's always so easy when you know how.

[frankodelic]

Hold off on running that data feed or uploading products for a couple of hours. The Product Database isn't quite ready yet.

I'll make an announcement when it's ready to go.

A few minor issues with the datafeed Frank:

product # 453066241 - as listed above, extra "lines"
453066249 - extra quotes in "Name"
453066250 - ditto
453066248 - ditto
453066243 - ditto
about half the entries the description field is truncated..
etc..

Please be advised...

This is being looked into. It's our every intention to offer an easy to use datafeed for our affiliates.

Walleye... I've PM'd you with an email address you can send those product link problems to. I haven't received either email you mention in this thread.

I know http://abw.infopop.cc/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif helps you to know what's being output tho, which is why I posted it..

The feed's small enough that I can tweak it by hand meanwhile..

BTW, what's the update interval?

FFoc, Som...

I'm working with Brian at Shareasale to see what can be done to provide a cleaner datafeed and general product database. There's more info in the description than you'll usually find. The info is clean, we're looking into a cleaner way to format it.

The update interval. Well, depends I guess. Whenever we have a good number of products to add or suspend. Perhaps monthly. More often than that over the next two months (we have quite a number of products we'll be adding). How often are datafeeds normally updated?

Brian,

Can you comment on this. From my viewpoint this puppy is clean as a whistle.

[futurescopes]

Frank, I have yet to receive the list of keywords. I wrote to Brian and sent you a copy. Could you please look into it. Thanks.

[frankodelic]

FYI... the datafeed is good to go. We'll continue to explore ways of formatting the information for efficiency and usability.

Also, there aren't hundreds of products in the datafeed, only about 25 top selling scooters and bikes. We hope to get into the hundreds some day with the help of our lovely affiliates.

futurescopes... I've sent you a PM.
