View Full Version : Retrieving a list of only one product from multiple merchants

Hi there,

I have been playing around with the ProductServe v3 API for a little while now and I have been trying to pull back a list of only one product but for multiple merchants - just now it seems as through each merchant has the product I'm looking for but all merchants have that product under a different ID.

I was hoping I could say to the API: Get me product X and tell me the merchants that stock it and their prices, etc...

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Many thanks,
Andy

Hello,

This can be very difficult because not all merchants provide an MPN (or equivalent) per product in their datafeed and so ShopWindow has nothing to group a product on.

Forgive my ignorance, what is an MPN?

Cheers,

Hello,

It is a manufacturer part number. Just a unique identifier.
