Here I am looking for an API for product search which can return me following things:
Categories of products so that user can click on particular category and search exactly what they want.
List of products with some information like title,description,price,url and image etc
Finally I want to store product information in my database
I looked at google shopping API but its deprecated. Checked for google commerce search but its not having category thing. One more API I found is https://www.semantics3.com which is good but need to pay. I may missed something in my research and you guys may help me with this, so:
Is there any possibility of using google shopping API OR google commerce search?
If I go for any paid API then I want to have some suggestions over this, so that I can use best solution.
TIA

Hi Guys, I have been trying to find but all I can find was Marketplace. I needed something like Marketplace but without letting public Users to set the pricing. Users create their profile which in this case is registered membersAdmin will create different categories in the website like : Home, About Us, Gallery ( This will act as a Product Page with different sub categories ), Products, Contact UsUsers can upload their "Products" in our Galleries with the following limitations :Users can upload their "Products" in our Gallery or Products or any Products related section. Not About Us, Contact Us.Users will be able to upload only a fix number of "Products" depending on the membership fee they purchase from usUsers will not be able to set their "Product" prices, Admin will set itAdmin can also filter which "Product" to delete or approveUploaded "Product" will also be able to navigate from the Uploader's ProfileAny "Products" that is being sold, % amount of the sales will be credited into their account or any other payment method ( Kindly advise on this )Not sure whether is it confusing. Hope you guys understand. Thanks guys in advance.
I do not exactly know the marketplace extension, but I think, it should be possible to change the template/controller logic of this module, to prevent that resellers can define a custom product price.
Perhaps you can ask the developers of marketplace if they would customize the extension to your needs. The support for payed magento extensions is very often better than expected.
We have requirement where we need to integrate the price comparison feature on our website in magento just like the below reference link:-
http://www.zopper.com/air-conditioner/hitachi-i-clean-air-conditioner-15-ton-price-reviews-pid-3b997787#prd-prices
How can we accomplish this in magento by integration some feeds or any other way.
What we need to think through is how to use this in conjunction with data feeds from other sites / portals??
Any Suggestions would be welcome!!
I'm trying to build an ecommerce website based on Magento but having a regular shop behaviour, instead of showing product prices, i want visitors to ask for an estimate for a single or several products (by adding them to a cart and then asking for a global estimate).
As a store manager, I should get these estimate requests by email along with customer information (name, email, phone, company, address .. )
Is this achievable with Magento?
If not, which cms/platform would be best suitable for such a project?
Not without some customization. You could put all your products in with a price of $0 and then change your theme so all the buttons say "request a quote" and the price isn't displayed anywhere. Then the checkout page might not ask for credit card info, but I'm not certain about that. If it did you would have to remove that part of the checkout module. Once a user finished checking out you would get an email with all their information. I don't think this is the best way to go about getting what you want though.
I don't know if other ecommerce platforms have what you are looking for. I'm not very familiar with them beyond Magento. But you could certainly use something like drupal or wordpress to build a site and have a request a quote form on it. This would only be managable with a small number of products though.
there is many extension available for this type features.link 1

I wanted to know that if Magento can be useful to develop C2C e-commerce site. for example ebay.com, pond5.com, etc.
If yes, then how ? Are their any good article,book or tutorials available?
Please provide your valuable suggestions.

Is it possible to build an extension that do these things:
add back-end permission control module for product and product category
auto create a product category and do related permission settings after creating a back-end user role
auto add related permission after users of the role creating a product
Set related permission to the role with Magento default function
Not good at explaining, hope this helps...
I found an extension which does exactly this. Here's what it says it can do:
This extension converts your store to a multiple sellers platform. The
admin can set the commission for each seller. The seller is able to
login from the frontend to track their sales and payout from the My
Account page.
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?

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:
