I am currently using the Magento API to import stock to magento, but finding it unbelieveably slow as the number of products is mounting up!
I've heard of this Magmi Datapump API, which allows me to send a list of products, and quatities to update current products stock.. is this correct? And is there a way to call this from c# ?
Thanks Neil
The Magmi Datapump API was written with PHP scripts in mind.
You can run Magmi using other means, such as WGET or CURL as per the Magmi Documentation
For example, by calling:
http://<your magmi dir>/web/magmi_run.php?profile=<your_profile_name>&mode=update&engine=magmi_productimportengine:Magmi_ProductImportEngine
You can initiate an import routine. Make sure you setup your profile first using the Magmi admin UI. You can simply upload a CSV file to the import directory, then set your profile to use that CSV. After calling the above URL, Magmi will open the CSV file and import the products.
