In this update, we discuss the extra tags in product XML and JSON files for title and product model description. Further, we discuss extra tags for timestamps in taxonomy files and the updated links for reasons-to-buy images. And finally, we discuss the updated access control per Vertical regarding the Full Icecat catalog. We don’t expect any or much impact on existing JSON and XML connections.
In addition to our previous post from 29th of December 2020, Icecat will provide new tags via its product XML and JSON files:

In short, Icecat has added timestamps, the date of the last update, for each attribute in the SuppliersList.XML.

In addition, we will add step by step such timestamps for all taxonomy files:
Similarly to the product images’ logic, Icecat reasons-to-buy images will be hosted via images.icecat.biz only for the products of sponsoring brands products and external links are used in case of non-sponsoring brands’ products.
Finally, for the Full Icecat catalogue, users will have access only to those products that belong to the Verticals, i.e., main categories, that the respective user has subscribed to. This limitation is now enforced. Please, contact us in case you would like to upgrade your account to a new vertical(s).
