We have gotten several requests for dynamic RSS feeds, and in the
spirit of discussing unsupported hacks I wanted to share how you can do
this with your existing PopShops account.
What you will need:
1. A enterprise account
How you do it:
1. Go ahead and create your shop the normal way by searching and adding products.
2. Go to the 'Pop it in' tab.
3. Select the 'RSS2' or the 'XML' option in the code drop down.
4. Copy the link to the rss version of your shop, and paste it into the
address bar of your favorite browser (FireFox). It should look
something like this:
http://shops.popshops.com/shops/c49...59d6dc61a73.rss
5. You should see an RSS/XML version of your shop.
6. Now just add ?psps_search=KEYWORDS obviously replacing KEYWORDS with
whatever term you are searching on. You will now have a keyword driven
RSS/XML feed. So for example:
http://shops.popshops.com/shops/c49...earch=ipod+case
Things to Note:
1. The products returned are limited by the merchants present in your shop. So you can have a max of 100 merchants present.
2. The number of products returned defaults to how many products you have in the shop you created (again a max of 100)
3. Just make sure you url encode any KEYWORDS that you pass through.
4. Yes, the products will update daily as the products update.
We are working on an API solution for developers. Email support@popshops.com if you want to be a beta tester.
