Basic API Settings

General Information

Bevor Sie eine API-Verbindung herstellen können, muss zuerst im Bereich Abonnements eine API aktiviert werden. Sie können die Einstellungen dieser API dann unter "Grundeinstellungen -> API" vornehmen.

The 'eBay API' and the 'Amazon API' have here their own tab!

API-Access

Falls für eine Schnittstelle mehrere API-Zugänge (Token) im System hinterlegt sind, müssen Sie jeder Datenquelle die diese Schnittstelle nutzt, den zu verwendenden API-Zugang (Token) zuweisen. Gehen Sie dazu auf Mein Konto -> Grundeinstellungen -> Datenquellen -> Aktionen [ Einstellungen ] -> Externe Accounts zuweisen. Wählen Sie dort den gewünschten API-Zugang (Token) aus und speichern Sie die Einstellungen.

Particularities

Shopware API

Shopware-Versions

If possible, always upgrade your shop to the latest version of "Shopware". The shopware-interface API on csv4you works partially with functions, which works correctly only in conjunction with the newest version. For older "Shopware" systems, the 'normal' interface for CSV-files is still available. These can be downloaded in the 'Export Settings' area and imported into your shop (download link in the information window of the interface at the bottom right).

New user for API access

Do not use the main user (admin) of their store as the API user. Create a new user with its own API key in "Shopware".

Webspace and Product Images

Pay attention to the size of your available webspace in connection with the transmission of product images. Settings can be found in the export profile of the shopware interface under the tab Other . Especially if you want to integrate several suppliers with thousands of products and several pictures, a webspace with relatively little space can quickly reach its limits. Before using the Shopware API, please check the maximum permissible space of your web server or web package to avoid unexpected problems.

In addition, the size of your image files should be adjusted to the Internet, so not too large. Otherwise it can also lead to problems or error messages during the transfer to your shop.

Thumbnails

Optimize or reduce the quality of the thumbnails in your shopware settings.

Transfer/Delete Data

The transfer of your data from "csv4you" to "Shopware" is done separately, so that image files are not transferred or created twice. In addition, "ALL" products can be deleted via the API.

The following transfer options are available:

• Products and quantities (NO images)
• Only quantities or
• Only images
• Delete products

You can find these settings under Export Settings -> Other.
