Hi All,
One of my client want to get a website developed to compare product prices from different online platform like Amazon.in, flipkart.com and snapdeal.com. I am new to this concept I have read that most websites like Amazon, flipkart and snapdeal provide APIs to get the job done.
But what I am not able to understand that how to manage the product master data in the website and how to get the specific product code for different sites.
for example Amazon, flipkart and snapdeal etc have different product code for same product.

If someone in the group have done anything like this please share the concept
thanks in advance

Solution 1

Customers don't carry around "product codes".

They want something by "name".

e.g. I want to ship a 1 lb package to New York; show me my options and the costs (USPS; UPS; FedEx; etc).

Same applies to you.

You need to do more "research".

Have a table that has the providers you use

SQL

ProviderID, Provider
1, Amazon
2, Whatever

Have a table of the products you track

SQL

ProductID, ProductName
1, Dyson 300 Vacuum Cleaner
2, VAX 250 Vacuum Cleaner

Have a table that stores provider-specific info

SQL

SkuID, ProviderID, ProductID, Price, ProductCode
1, 1, 1, 300, A1234
2, 2, 1, 295, W3547
3, 1, 2, 250, A6548
4, 2, 2, 249, W3325

You would then let people search your product table then join the SKU table to get the prices, codes etc per vendor.
