This article will help you place ads for your items on 2dehands.be / 2ememain.be. These APIs are very similar to the Marktplaats/Admarkt API.
Step 1: Add a new connection
Go to “Connections > Add connection: Click on “+ Add a new connection” and you will see the screen, where you can select either "2dehands Admarkt / 2ememain".
Fill in the label for your connection, for example the name of the Marketplace. Then proceed to click on "connect with 2dehands / 2ememain". You will be redirected to the environment where you can log in with your credentials.
After successfully logging in, you will be redirected back to Channable where the connection will be available.
Step 2: Create a new API in Channable
Now, navigate to the API's overview in your project. Click on “+ Add new API” and select the "2dehands Admarkt or 2ememain" connection you just created. Proceed to name your new API.
Next select the field you want to use for Unique ID per item (we recommend the 'id' field) Additionally, you have the option to add a master rule group here if desired. Click on “Continue” to finish creating the new API.
Step 3: Build your ads
To fill in an attribute in the Build step, click on the plus sign next to the attribute you wish to fill. From there, you can select the specific field that contains the data you want to use. For example, if you need to populate the 'Title' attribute, choose the 'Title' field from your item's data.
Each field is accompanied by a question mark icon. Hovering over this icon will display a field description along with suggestions for possible values. Once you have finished configuring the ads, be sure to click 'Save' at the bottom of the screen to apply your changes.
Step 4: Attributes: mandatory fields
While you're building your ads, don't forget to fill in the attribute builder! There are 3 fields that are always mandatory to fill in: "Conditie", "Land" and "Taal". If you forget to fill these in your ads will not be shown on 2dehands.be. To fill them in, first go to the Attributes step and click one of your categories:
In the next screen, you'll see at least the 3 mandatory fields in red columns, indicating that you still need to fill them in. If you click the name of the mandatory fields, you can see which values are accepted for that field and type in a value that you want to add for all items. If you want to use a different value for each item, you can add a field as well.
If you add a static text value for a field, this value is added for all categories in the attribute builder. For more information on how to use the attribute builder, see this support article.
Step 5: Send ads to 2dehands.be / 2ememain.be
Almost there, sending your items does not take long. If you have not activated your project, go to your project settings on the left-hand side of the screen and click 'activate project'.
After, go back to the APIs > [Your API] > Settings and choose 'active - send products paused' (to test) or choose 'active - send products live' so they are visible to everyone. After you have completed this step you can click the Result tab of your API. Here you can see which ads have errors and are not placed.
