Feed API Overview

What is the Feed API?

The Feed API (Canal 1) lets you distribute product catalogs from Alana to external commerce platforms. Generate product feeds in the format each platform expects — XML for Google Shopping, CSV for Meta, JSON for OpenAI Commerce — without manual data transformation.

Supported Platforms

Platform	Format	Endpoint
Google Shopping	XML (RSS 2.0 + g: namespace)	`/api/v1/feeds/google`
Meta Commerce	CSV	`/api/v1/feeds/meta`
OpenAI Commerce	JSON	`/api/v1/feeds/openai`

Feed Manifest

Discover all available feeds for your workspace:

GET /api/v1/manifest

Returns the list of active platforms, last generation timestamp, and feed URLs.

curl https://app.alana.shopping/api/v1/manifest \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_api_key"

const res = await fetch("https://app.alana.shopping/api/v1/manifest", {
  headers: { "X-API-Key": "sk_live_your_api_key" },
});
const manifest = await res.json();

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://app.alana.shopping/api/v1/manifest",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "sk_live_your_api_key"},
)
manifest = res.json()

NDJSON Streaming

For large catalogs, use NDJSON (Newline-Delimited JSON) streaming to process products as they arrive without buffering the full response:

curl https://app.alana.shopping/api/v1/feeds/google \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_api_key" \
  -H "Accept: application/x-ndjson"

Each line in the response is a valid JSON object representing one product. This is ideal for catalogs with thousands of SKUs.

Feed Generation

Feeds are generated on-demand when requested. Alana caches feeds for 15 minutes to reduce latency for high-frequency consumers. Use Cache-Control: no-cache to force regeneration.
