API, Client Softare or datafeed?

[blogman]

Hi,

Noob question here.

I'm setting up a new site where I plan to have a dynamically updated table of products under different categories from a merchant. I've already got the layout and design of the site coded and I'd like to keep the design of the product table while still having the content dynamic. I would also like the affiliate links to be in a jump script file.

What would be the best (and simplest) option here? From what I've read, the API and datafeed seem to be the best options here. It would be good if this was possible with the API since a bespoke solution with a datafeed will require quite a bit of programming. Paid scripts like price tapestry are an option but it's 200 quid.

Thanks for your help!
