Import Products
POST/pcm/products/import
You can use the Product Import API to:
-
Add new products, including:
- main image files. See Importing Main Image Files.
- custom data. See Importing custom data.
- Make bulk updates to existing products.
You cannot use product import to:
- Delete existing products.
- Import product bundles.
The Product Import API uses a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file to import products, main image files and custom extension data. Each row in a .csv file represents a product you want to create/update. See an example file.
Each file can have 50,000 rows, including the header. If a CSV file exceeds 50,000 rows, an error is displayed, and the products are not imported. A CSV file must not be larger than 50 megabytes. If a CSV file is larger than 50 megabytes, a 503 client read
error is displayed.
If you want to create/update more than 50,000 products or your CSV file is larger than 50 megabytes, you must have a separate CSV file and import each CSV file one at a time.
See Characteristics of CSV Files.
