e2save - how to work with datafeeds

Tweet

Hello,

How do I work with the data feeds?

I want to build my own custom website and use their data feeds.

I want to use Wordpress, but how do I translate the feeds into a fully working site?

I just need to understand how the basics work.

Thank you.

Anyone please?

Lots of ways depends what fits your requirements best. You can parse xml on the fly using php or load csv directly into mysql with mysql load data infile.

If you're not comfortable coding, I experimented a while ago with importing Mobile feeds into PriceTapestry. It actually worked remarkably well, given the amount of extra data contained in Mobile feeds.

The main task is normalising the phone models and tarif names from different merchants so they all match - I made a custom script to sort that for me, and the rest went swimmingly. If you're just using one merchant (ie e2save), you don't need to worry about that.
