I'm looking at another store and they agreed to let me use their API system so i can get all their products without manually uploading 1 by 1 atleast thats what i think…



So i wanted to ask how does the API system work exactly and how do i set it up from my end, they said they will provide me a API key but i have no clue what needs to be done from my side.

You should create a script which will retrieve products from the http://example.com/api/products url. The script should send authentication parameters (API key and token) and may contain a lot of additional parameters (like filters, e.t.c.).
