I already know that CJ offers a product feed for a few hundred bucks (unless I am a publisher who earns $10,000 a month). Since I'm new to CJ, I obviously do not fall in that category. I also know that I can contact my advertisers directly to ask if they offer feeds. I have sent them all emails and am awaiting reply. Aside from all of that, can anyone recommend any third party scrapers that will do the job? Vito
I don't think this would comply with their TOS, but I am not sure though. You can either pay them $200 and get the datafeeds or use their free (so far) web services. Web services isn't that great and stable atm, but it is always better than scraping. Also, some advertisers provide datafeeds out off CJ. You can find them @ abestweb.
I tried signing up for the webservices. I downloaded the sample files but I'm just not sure what to do with them. How do I use this service? Vito
It is not a feed. vito: You will need to query CJ's data using this webservices. If you are using PHP, you will need to use something like nusoap to use CJ's webservices. It is really simple with the sample code. You can read the help they provided and use webservices' forum to implement it.
