E-commerce integration

E-commerce integration

Connect your website, ERP or marketplace tool to the Giyimport product pool. With your API key you receive products as paginated JSON, pull only what changed and verify live price/stock before adding to cart.

API keys and request limits

Key management

What it does
Create, rotate and revoke API keys in the panel.
How it works
A key is shown exactly once at creation; only its SHA-256 hash is stored.
Problem solved
A leaked key staying in use unnoticed.
Technical detail
Header: x-api-key: gyi_… or Authorization: Bearer gyi_… · active key limit per plan.

Quota

What it does
Every plan has a 30-day request quota; when exceeded the API returns 429.
How it works
Requests from all keys on your account are counted together; usage is shown for 24 h / 7 d / 30 d.
Problem solved
Unexpected cost and uncontrolled consumption.
Technical detail
Status codes: 401 invalid key · 403 plan required · 429 quota exceeded.

Endpoints

Method and pathReturns
GET /api/v1/productsPaginated products (page, limit ≤ 100, q, category, supplier, changedSince)
GET /api/v1/products/{id}One product: variants, images, attributes, prices
GET /api/v1/products/{id}/liveInstant price and stock verification from the source site
GET /api/v1/product-groupsProducts grouped by model across colours
GET /api/v1/suppliersSources and active product counts
GET /api/v1/feed.xmlAll active products in scope (XML)

Change tracking (polling) instead of webhooks

changedSince

What it does
Returns products changed since your last pull.
How it works
Store the time of your last successful pull and send it as changedSince next time.
Problem solved
The cost of pulling the entire catalog every time.
Technical detail
Filters on product or source record update time; accepts ISO 8601.

Live verification

What it does
Verifies the current source price and stock when your customer adds to cart.
How it works
/live reads the source page instantly; if the price changed it is written to price history and the pool is updated.
Problem solved
Selling a product whose price changed or that sold out at the supplier.
Technical detail
Response: price, suggestedPrice, stock, inStock, active, variants[], checkedAt.

Categories, attributes and pricing rules

Category and attribute data

What it does
Each product includes category, full category path and attributes; trial and product-limited plans are scoped by category selection.
How it works
The source category tree and attributes are stored during crawling and returned with the same names in API and XML.
Problem solved
No raw data to map onto your own category tree.
Technical detail
Fields: category, categoryPath, attributes[{name, value}].

Pricing rules

What it does
Sale price = cost + margin + shipping fee + fixed amount, then a rounding rule.
How it works
Rules are defined per source; salePrice/suggestedPrice in API and XML follow them. For marketplace price pushes an extra percentage and fixed amount can be set per store.
Problem solved
Calculating every price by hand.
Technical detail
Rounding: to the cent, ending in .90, or rounded to the hundred ending in .99.

Image sync

What it does
Product images are downloaded from the source and hosted on Giyimport servers.
How it works
Image sync fetches missing images in the background; image URLs in API and XML use our own domain.
Problem solved
Broken images when a source site changes its image URLs.
Technical detail
Ordered image list; variant-specific images in variant.imageUrl.
