How frequently it is recommended to generate and upload Sitemap.xml to Google for an e-commerce site where products are added and removed on daily basis?
Thanks.
You can set cron job to run daily. The instruction to set up cron job can be found here

In my website, I want to update data from external source everyday.
I create an administration module and he works manually but I need automate the process.
I think a cron can do that but the problem is the login ?
Joomla 3.
Set up the cronjob on the joomla server needs no login. Login is only needed via Http Requests, A cron job on the server dosent need a login (cron job on same server with joomla)
But as module it will not work. Why just hit a php script as cronjob?
A module needs joomla rendering in most cases and this will not work!
Our magento store is connected to Cybertill Connector to import products and categories.
I was checking if there is any possibility to schedule a daily task to import products automatically via setting up cron in cpanel?
I have saved a link which is running when I click to import products (Admin>>connector>>product import) from magento admin http://mystorename.com/index.php/admin/connector/pullproducts/key/4c58ba58a5gt986cv/
I will appreciate if someone provide me proper steps to schedule a cron.
Sorry, I am new to magento and php if I missed anything or you want to ask something please let me know.
Thanks

The link which you mentioned is not the link which can be used in the cron jobs.
You should give the path to cron.php file with is in your Megento installation to run the cron jobs.
And here are the links to setup the cron job in cPanel. Refer these and try to create.

I plan to use Magento next year so I started browsing the Magento website. I noticed the Magento Core API and wonder what it is for? Is it something I can use to integrate parts form a running Magento installation into other applications?
Thanks :-)
Yes. You can use it to push some information in and out of Magento using SOAP XML.
I've been trying to add the products in my Magento store to Google's product search for the last day. I was using the built-in Google base, then found that that 'API' was retired a month or two ago and that the Magento Connect 'Google Content' plugin is what I should be using.
Having installed that, when I then try and add products to Google Content all I ever get is:
"Captcha confirmation error." (I'm typing the captcha correctly).
I've mapped all the required attributes accordingly and all my Google merchant account settings as they should be in Magento's configuration.
Couldn't find anyone with the same issue via Google or Stackexchange, but hopefully someone will have an idea for as to where to start troubleshooting! I've tried adding individual products, not just the whole lot...
Ideas?
Install this extension :

I've just managed to solve our problem, in the settings for Google API there is an 'Account Type' dropdown, I've set this to google and now the CAPTCHA problem isn't tripping things up and it's submitting product to our merchant account.
log into your google account then put this in the address bar:
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
I am using Mangento 1.5.0.1 and have configured the admin section to export Google XML Sitemaps daily.
Mangento uses cron to execute this however the cron job runs but never outputs a sitemap nor does it email me an error.
I was thinking maybe I need to manually create the folders / files and then maybe they would then be populated by the cron job.
So my question is, where in the file system does Magento create these files?
Thanks

From memory I think sitemap.xml normally gets created in the Magento directory - usually whatever is the public root of your website. Of course this is configurable.
