The Optiseller API is available to all subscribers, with different quotas of calls depending on your plan.
When you have signed up for your Optiseller subscription, you can retrieve the API subscription keys from within the portal, from the "Optiseller API" on the left hand navigation area
The developer portal link is also located here which is at https://developer.optiseller.com/
In the developer portal, you can explore and test the APIs, by clicking the "Try It" button:
This opens a form to allow you to enter the parameters, and if you copy and paste the subscription key form the portal, you can call the API immediately
In this example, we've used the BrandMPN parameter to try and source Item Specifics via teh "GetAspectSuggester" API
And the results are shown at the bottom of the form
Alternatively, API test tools such as postman can be used or with some simple scripting the API is accessible with a small amount of code, a c# example is below
Note that the header for the subscription key is named Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
using var client = new HttpClient();
var url = "https://connect.optiseller.com/suggestionapi/AspectSuggester";
var urlParameters = "?brandmpn=toshiba ct-8541";
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(url);
// Add an Accept header for JSON format.
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
// Add header for subscription key
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key", "ADD_YOUR_KEY_HERE");
// Get data response
var response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result;
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
// Parse the response body
var result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var dynamicObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(result)!;
foreach (var item in dynamicObject.aspects)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}:{1}", item.name, item.values?[0]);
};
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", (int)response.StatusCode, response.ReasonPhrase);
}
