Creating a simple module distributors data feed

[Surefirecomms]

I need help with creating a module for taking my distributors datafeed .csv file and scrapping the product image URL’s and product descriptions from their product number and importing the products. I have been doing this manually with .csv files but it’s tedious when there is nearly 5000 products.

Hi, scraping is not very safe, because it's based on html page structure, and if any change is made, your scraping will fail. And another issue is for SEO: duplicate content 😞

It's much better if the distributor, or a programmer working with them, develops a module to communicate with your distributor's APIs.
For example, see how this wholesale distributor (Life365), which operates throughout Europe, implemented its catalog distribution:

CHATGTP or other Claude, Gemini can take your feed, then simply  tell it what you want to do and it's done.  If you prefer a module, any of these three can create the module  for you.
