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

PlatformFormatEndpoint
Google ShoppingXML (RSS 2.0 + g: namespace)/api/v1/feeds/google
Meta CommerceCSV/api/v1/feeds/meta
OpenAI CommerceJSON/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"

​
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.
