Comments for ProductFeedBurner

Hi there!,

I like your idea. But I have some questions:

• Can you provide sample product feeds to the different shopping sites.
• Do you want a full solution including merchant login and payments or only the productfeedburner application.

Regards Soeren Larsen

I would like to add a comment to my quote.

I have looked at the different feed specs and I find this project possible, but it could be a problem to test it with all the different service providers. If the pledger(s) agree with this I suggest that the project will be delivered in small portions using the pay-as-you-go feature by micropledge.

Each portion will provide a ProductFeedBurner for one of the shopping sites.

Very interested in this and I would be interested in a straight feed burner.

Have you looked at PopShops they handle 5 feed formats Merchants however their enterprise export in xml is limited to 100 items with no dynamic search API :(

I would suggest your first modules are the big affiliates (CJ, Linkshare, Performics, ShareASale, AffiliateWindow). Linkshare has ‘Linkshare Network’ and ‘Linkshare UK’ but I believe they use common formats.

Be aware of the size of some of these feeds (i.e. Buy.com from CJ is 6M+ items or the iTunes from LinkShare with 6.5M items and are 3-4G each when uncompressed)

Missing from previous file and FYI Linkshare format

Hope it helps

Hey - as I see this isn’t going on very fast… Are you interested in this anymore?

What about a flexible solution - the admin of the burner can set mapping rules for each export-feed-format instead heaving a hardcoded mapping for each usage?

Flexible Category-Mapping with rules set by the Merchant himselfe - just like that one: [Input] ; [Kelkoo] ; [Froogle] ; [Pricerunner] Car Hifi ; Hifi ; [leave as is] ; HiFi -> Car
