Ready-made data feeds are the simplest way to automatically export collected market intelligence from Pricer24 (competitor prices, stock statuses, promotions, and category positions) directly into your ERP, CRM, 1C/BAS, or internal databases.

Unlike a REST API, data feeds do not require implementing pagination loops or managing rate limits: your system simply sends an HTTP GET request to a persistent URL and downloads a single, structured data file.

How Feed Generation Works

• Live Generation: By default, feeds are compiled dynamically in real time whenever your system requests the URL, ensuring you receive the freshest data snapshot.
• 5-Minute Caching: To prevent unnecessary server load, feed output is cached for 5 minutes. Repeated requests within this window return the cached file.
• 60-Second Timeout Fallback: For very large catalogs where real-time compilation exceeds 60 seconds, we transition your feed to an automated scheduled pre-generation mode (e.g., the file is prepared ahead of time each morning or hourly before your system fetches it).

Authentication and Security

• URL Secret Token: Access is secured via a unique secret key included directly in the query parameters (?secret=...). No extra headers or authentication handshakes are needed.
• IP Whitelisting: For maximum enterprise security, access can be restricted strictly to your server IP addresses. Simply provide your static IPs to your account manager.
• Persistent URLs: The URL remains permanent and does not change when feed configuration or filters are adjusted.

Supported Output Formats

Feeds can be generated in any of the following standard formats:

• JSON (recommended for programmatic parsing)
• XML
• CSV
• XLSX (Excel)

Custom Configuration & Filtering

The content of your feed is tailored to your exact business needs:

• Select specific competitors (contractors).
• Include desired price sets (regular retail, promo price, old crossed-out price, RRP/MSRP).
• Filter by categories, brands, or availability (e.g., in-stock items only).
• Include or exclude supplementary attributes (ratings, reviews, product URLs, category positions).
