Getting started
Getting started with Indexing of content
In order to sell a news artcile it needs to be added to the Sesamy product catalog. This is done by indexing content metadata from the publishers website.
There are three solutions for indexing content:
- Webhooks. Update a single article directly
- Sitemaps. Updates all content on a regular basis
- Checkout. Adding a new article to the checkout it will index the artile and cache the metadata
Webhooks
An article can be queued for indexing by making a POST request with the url of the article as parameters:
POST https://api.sesamy.com/suppliers/hooks/article/VENDOR_ID
Content-Type: application/json
{
"url": "ARTICLE_URL"
}
The following query parameters are available:
- vendor_id (required)
The following body properties are available:
- url (required)
The request will return the following response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
OK
Sitemaps
The sitemap of the publisher website will be indexed on a schedule and any new or updated article will be synced to the catalog
Checkout
If a customer adds an article to the checkout which isn't in the Sesamy product catalog it will be indexed as part of the checkout process.
