Note: EAN codes are mandatory for Darty. Make sure you have valid EAN codes for all your products, otherwise no product listings can be created for your products.
Step 1: Generate your API credentials in your Darty account
The Darty API uses the Mirakl platform, which means you will need a Mirakl- account to start sending your product listings to Darty.
When you have a Mirakl Darty account login and navigate to My user settings by clicking on your email address in the top right corner. After that you go to "API key" tab and click "generate API key" if there is no key available yet. If there is an API key available, you can use that one, you don't have to create a new one. Copy the API key, you will need this for the next step.
Next, you will need to find you Shop ID in your seller central. First select the shop you want to send products to in the top right corner. Next, go to My Account > Settings to find your Shop ID. Copy your Shop ID as well, you will need this for the next step.

You will be forwarded to an overview where you will see the Darty connection and can select it.
Fill in the name for the connection under "Label", we recommend naming the connection Darty API. Fill out the API key and Shop ID you copied in step 1, and click the "Create" button to save your connection.
You will the be redirected back to the API Settings step where you can give your API a name. After choosing a name click on the "Continue" button to create your new Darty API.
