API Introduction and Overview

The SellFire Data API allows members to retrieve product and store data from the SellFire database of merchant data feeds programmatically.

Who can use the Data API?

The SellFire Data API is limited to premium plan members who are capable of understanding and consuming web services.

Is the SellFire Data API Easy to Use?

The SellFire Data API is a well-designed web service. However, the API is not suitable for everyone’s needs. Usage of the API requires that members are comfortable writing computer code and know how to consume web services.

If you are not a computer programmer, you should recruit a software developer to help you before you use the Data API.

I’m not a programmer. Can SellFire help me integrate the Data API?

At this time, SellFire does not assist customers in integrating their website with the Data API. However, if something is confusing about the API's specification or if you believe that the API is not behaving according to the specification, please reach out to us for assistance.

How is the API accessed?

The API is accessed by performing an HTTP POST to a specified URL. There is a different URL for each of the operations supported by the API. The URL for API operations follows the following format:

https://www.sellfire.com/Api/{Operation Name}

Details on each operation’s complete request and response parameters can be found at the pages linked to below.

What type of data does the API return?

There are two types of operations supported by the API.

HTML Operations - These operations return HTML that can be immediately embedded into your website without further processing.
JSON Operations - These operations return JSON that describe products.

Each operation’s description clearly indicates its response type.
