Do you want to learn interactively all basics related to the creation of an API export, or how to make an advanced setup for an API in Channable? Learn how to create a Channacademy account in the Channable app through this Help Center article and start with the Basic APIs or Expert APIs course.
Step 1: Add a new MediaMarkt connection
The Mediamarkt API uses the Mirakl platform, which means you will need a Mirakl account to start sending your product listings to Mediamarkt.
When you have a Mirakl MediaMarkt account, go to "[Your company] settings menu > Connections > Add connection". Click on "+ Add a new connection" and you will see a screen, where you can select Mediamarkt. Fill in the label for your connection, for example: Mediamarkt. And then click on ''Connect with Mediamarkt''. You will be redirected to the environment where you can log in with your Mirakl-credentials. After logging in, you will be redirected back to Channable where the connection will be available.
Step 2: Add a new MediaMarkt API in Channable
Now go to the API's overview, in your project. And click on add new API, Select the Mediamarkt connection you just made and give your new API a name.
Select the field you want to use for Unique ID per item (we recommend the 'id' field), and the Language for categories. You can also add a master rule group here if you want. Click on "Continue" to finish creating the new MediaMarkt API.
Step 3: Create your product listings in Channable
Once you have created the MediaMarkt API you can setup your product data by following the steps of the API.
-
Categories
For your product data to be created, your products need a category. Add categories to your products by using the generate categories feature or create new categories from scratch.
-
Rules
Create different rules to optimize your product data. Take a look at our common rules support article for some examples.
-
Build
Here you can find our preset template for the product listings. All you have to do is to fill it out by clicking on the field itself and selecting what you would like to go in there. For example, the field 'Price' should display the price of your product and so on. When you have finished setting up the product listings, just click 'save' at the bottom of the screen.
Tip! Notice the question mark behind every field, if you hover over the question mark you will see the description of the field and suggestions for possible values.
-
Attributes
Almost done! Next up is filling in the fields in the Attributes step. Select the category you want to optimize first. An example of what should be in front of you now can be seen in the screenshot below. A more detailed explanation of what to do in the Attributes step can be found in our Attributes support article.
Step 4: Send your products to MediaMarkt
Almost there, your product listings are ready to be sent. If you have not activated your project, go to Setup > Project settings on the left-hand side of the screen and click 'activate project'. After, go back to the APIs overview and go to "Your MediaMarkt API Name" > Settings, where you activate the API by selecting "Activate API". After you have completed this step, navigate back to the APIs overview and select the blue "Run now" button to send your product listings to MediaMarkt.
Step 5: Check your product listings for errors
After you have sent your product listings to MediaMarkt, go to the Results tab of your MediaMarkt API. Click filter on 'error'. Now you can see which product listings have errors and are not placed. Click on a specific error to see more information on what is causing the error. If you have solved some errors by changing the settings or product information, re-run the MediaMarkt API to see the new results.
Best practices
Adding multiple attribute values: when adding multiple values in an attribute field for Mirakl Marketplaces, separate each value with a pipe symbol "|" to ensure proper detection and processing.
Seller's Product ID for Single/simple products: Please note that there are two attributes named 'SellerArticleId' and 'SellerProductId,' respectively. 'SellerProductId' refers to the Parent ID, while 'SellerArticleId' refers to the variant items. For single products, both attributes must be filled with the same value.
