How to get category and products list in external page? Ajax or else?

[simar88]

Hi guys,
i would like to know how I can get products list grouped by category and use it in an external page.
I'm thinking to build a sort of configurator using the products inside a shop that already exist, but i don't know if i have to write from scratch some mysql query or if is possibile to use something that already exist inside prestashop files (classes).
The next step is to add selected items to a new cart for the checkout and for this i think to have found something online.

Thanks in advance,
Simone

You have to include in your php file

define('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_', getcwd());
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/config.inc.php'); // From any folder in PrestaShop dir

then you can use in your external page all functions that prestashop use
