Connecting to multiple online marketplace APIs

Hey everyone! I’m working on a project for a client and I need some help. We’re trying to hook up our app to a bunch of different online stores like Flipkart, Amazon, Meesho, Tata Cliq, Jio Mart, and Shopsy.

I’ve managed to find APIs for Flipkart and Amazon, but I’m stuck on the others. Has anyone here worked with APIs for Meesho, Tata Cliq, Jio Mart, or Shopsy? I’d really appreciate any tips or info you can share!

The main goal is to access product info and order details for each platform, but only for our specific seller. If you’ve got experience with this or know where I can find some good resources, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey RyanDragon22! That’s an interesting project you’ve got there. I’m curious, what kind of app are you building that needs to connect to all these marketplaces? :thinking:

I’ve worked with Amazon’s API before, but I’m not too familiar with the others you mentioned. Have you tried reaching out to their developer support teams directly? Sometimes they have hidden APIs or special access for approved partners.

For Meesho and Shopsy, aren’t they more focused on resellers? I wonder if their API structure might be different from traditional e-commerce platforms.

Have you considered using web scraping as a fallback option for the platforms without public APIs? It’s not ideal, but it could be a temporary solution.

What challenges have you faced so far with the Flipkart and Amazon APIs? I’d be interested to hear about your experience with those.

Good luck with your project! Keep us posted on how it goes, yeah?

hey RyanDragon22, i’ve worked with meesho’s api before. it’s not publicly available, but you can get access by contacting their partnerships team. theyre pretty responsive. for jio mart, try checking their seller dashboard - theyve got some basic api docs there. havent tried tata cliq or shopsy myself, sry. good luck with ur project!

I’ve had some experience integrating with Tata Cliq’s API for a similar project. Their documentation isn’t the best, but you can find basic integration guidelines in their seller portal. For Jio Mart, I’d suggest reaching out to their business development team directly. They’re more likely to provide API access for established sellers or partners.

Regarding Meesho and Shopsy, you’re right that they’re reseller-focused platforms. Their APIs might be more limited or require special approval. Have you considered using their mobile apps as a workaround? You could potentially use Android debugging tools to intercept API calls and reverse-engineer their endpoints.

One word of caution: make sure you’re complying with each platform’s terms of service when accessing their data. Some marketplaces have strict policies about how their information can be used outside their ecosystem.
