Datafeedr API

Import affiliate products into WooCommerce

Datafeedr API works with the Datafeedr WooCommerce Importer to help you search for affiliate products and import selected items into a WooCommerce store. The importer handles the product data, so you do not need to download and parse large CSV or XML feeds. No programming is required.

Search and organize products

Search across multiple supported affiliate networks and merchants at once. Filter results by product name, description, network, merchant, brand, price, sale price, discount percentage, currency, or sale status. You can select merchants separately for each store and make your own product categories.

Save a search to add matching products in bulk. During updates, new products that match a saved search can be added automatically. Product details can be customized, and products from CSV importers or other sources can be added alongside imported products.

Keep product listings current

• Product information updates automatically, with processing in the background.
• New items matching saved searches can be added during updates.
• Products can be removed from your store when a merchant removes them from its inventory.
• Imported product data and pictures are stored on your website. The importer handles special characters and accents in product information.
• Affiliate links use the links supplied by the network, without intermediary redirects or tracking. The importer adds the rel="nofollow" attribute to affiliate links.

Present products to users

Each product has its own crawlable, indexable page, and product data is not generated with JavaScript. Visitors can rate products, write reviews, filter results by product attributes, and sort by rating, price, popularity, newness, and other settings. Product codes such as EAN, UPC, and SKU can also be displayed.

The importer works with WooCommerce-based themes, including WooThemes and ThemeForest themes. Responsive WooCommerce themes can serve mobile and tablet visitors. The importer also integrates with the Datafeedr Comparison Sets plugin for price comparison sets.

Networks and requirements

Datafeedr works with products from more than 30 affiliate networks, with merchants and products available across multiple countries. Every API plan includes all features. The importer requires an active subscription to a paid Datafeedr API plan. The Datafeedr API and Datafeedr Product Sets components are listed as free requirements; you also need WooCommerce and an account with at least one supported affiliate network.

The website needs PHP 7.4 or later, MySQL 5.6 or later, a WordPress memory limit of at least 256 MB, PHP’s CURL extension, WordPress Cron, and HTTPS support.
