Current CDON System to New API
Product/Article Management
We're transitioning from our current XML-based import system to a modern JSON-based REST API. This change will provide:
- Improved flexibility
- Easier integration
- More efficient data handling
Order Management
The new order management system has been streamlined to focus on core operations:
- Basic fulfill/cancel operations
- Flexible tracking information submission:
- Can be provided during fulfillment
- Can be submitted in a separate call
New API Features
Our new API builds upon Fyndiq's proven architecture (documentation available at https://merchantapi.fyndiq.com/), with several improvements and customizations:
Enhanced Product Structure
- Primary Identifier: SKU-based system
- Bulk Operations: New endpoints for improved efficiency
- Validation: Focus on structural validation rather than content
- Rate Limiting: Implementation of leaky bucket algorithm
- Categories: Simplified to a single optimal field
New Product Fields
- Language-specific product highlights
- Maximum 30 characters per point
- Format: List of dictionaries containing:
- Language
- Values (list of strings)
Specifications
- Hierarchical structure:
- Language
- Name
- Value/Description
- Enables detailed, structured product information
Classifications
- Name-value pairs for product attributes such as refurbished articles
