Connecting to the Kelkoo portal is possible via the standard Web connector in Adverity and the Kelkoo web service (REST API).
STEP 1: CREATE A CONNECTION IN ADVERITY
- Connect > Connections > +Add > Web Connect
- Name: Add a connection name
- Authorization method: Cookie Session
- Username: Kelkoo username
- Password: Kelkoo password
- Authorization URL: https://merchant.kelkoogroup.com/uk/j_security_check?j_username={USERNAME}&j_password={PASSWORD}
STEP 2: GENERATE A REQUEST URL IN KELKOO
Depending on the report type you want to obtain, your request URL will vary. Note that not all report types are available in every country: https://www.kelkoogroup.com/kelkoo-customer-service/kelkoo-developer-network/shopping-services/webservices-availability-by-country/
Use the Kelkoo request builder to generate the report you need. You can either use a template or create your own. In order to use the web services you must register as an affiliate with Kelkoo.
STEP 3: ADD A WEB CONNECT DATASTREAM IN ADVERITY
Once you have a Connection and request URL available, add a new Datastream:
- Connect > +Add New Datastream > Web Connect
- Name: Add a Datastream name
- Connection: Choose the connection created in Step 1
- URL: Paste the URL created in Step 2
- Request method: GET
- Date format: %Y-%m-%d
- Parser: Excel (.xlsx)
- Encoding: ISO-8859-1
- Data key: DATA
OPTIONAL: USING START AND END PLACEHOLDERS FOR FLEXIBLE DATES
Instead of pulling a static report, it is possible to use placeholders for start and end date and choose flexible dates when fetching in Adverity.
This means the URL would end like this:
.....?startDate={start}&endDate={end}
