getting data from eCommerce websites

[Former Member]

hi Gurus,

Can you guys let me know how to create an interface to fetch data from eCommerce websites into SAP.

Hi Hemanth,

I am not sure if this will be feasible, but perhaps you can <b>try accessing the RSS feeds</b> of the data that you need. I know about accessing the feeds from Enterprise Portal such that it even gets updated as the data on the actual site gets updated, but I am not very sure if it will work with XI. But, there is some hope since the feeds are XML content which XI can understand.

I do think the same way. I am sry if I am giving a wrong opinion, but I think SOAP adapter is used whenever we want to fetch data from the webservices,right?

I think we can use XI itself as a webservice which will get the data from the website...but I haven't tried this scenario and was wondering if Naveen is suggesting the same.

Hi Naveen,

Correct me here if I am wrong, but I think you can use the SOAP adapter only if the website has a webservice which can provide the necessary data.
