Icecat is an open catalog, providing free access to thousands of product datasheets. In extend, when taking a subscription, the amount of accessible datasheets are increased.
There is a list of Icecat sponsor brands.
The library can be installed using composer:
"progcode/icecat-api": "dev-master"
The class library is, in it's current state easy to be used.
The Icecat class is responsible for parsing the data. It includes a few basic methods, but you can easily create your own implementation by implementing the IcecatInterface interface.
// Use the class.
use Src\Icecat\Api;
$icecat = new Api(getenv('ICEACAT_USER'), getenv('ICEACAT_PASS'));
$xml = $icecat->getArticleByMPN('Hewlett Packard Enterprise', '838079-B21', 'HU');
$productDataArray = $icecat->xml2array($xml);
$productData = $icecat->getProductData($productDataArray);Demo is soon available.
