Full Product Data - Input Format

Fredhopper uses 3 JSON files to model your item data and import this into FAS. These are:

Filename	Description
meta.json	Defines the hierarchical category structure for the product catalogue and lists all of the attributes that are used, including their base-type.
products-0.json	Defines products, associates them with categories and lists the actual values for each product / attribute combination.
variants-0.json	Defines variants, associates them with a product and lists the actual values for each variant / attribute combination (optional).

Please Note

• If your data model is such that there are no concept of variants, then the variants JSON file(s) can be omitted.
• The products and variants JSON files should only ever contain a maximum of 10,000 items within them in order to be processed successfully in a timely manner.
• Additional files should be added and the item data should be split out when there are more than 10,000 products and/or 10,000 variants.
  • For Example
    • products-0.json,products-1.json, products-2.json etc.
    • variants-0.json, variants-1.json, variants-2.json etc.
