Basics of the CAPI

Import product data with CAPI

Just as Channel Pilot Pro offers you a SOAP-Api for automated control of your marketing activities, it is also possible to connect any imports via CAPI.

A CAPI offers you basic functions such as update, create and delete product data and can be integrated into an existing import process just like a regular import or replace it completely.

Contrary to other import variants, the data is pushed from your side via CAPI to Channel Pilot Pro and not retrieved by Channel Pilot Pro.

The following functions are available within the CAPI:

  • PUT / PATCH / DELETE -> Manipulation of product data

  • GET SETUP FOR FEEDS / DATAFIELDS -> Informations about the setup

  • GET JOBS BY ID -> All transactions made within the last 14 days

  • POST AUTHENTIFICATION -> Identification of the connection and generation of a token

The current version of the full CAPI - documentation can be found here.

To use a CAPI import, an activation by Channel Pilot Pro is necessary. Please inform your account manager!

All transfers via CAPI are store and feed specific. If data is to be changed in several feeds or stores, an individual request must be made for each feed-shop combination!
