Productfeed Overview

With the productfeed you can easily retrieve the current bol catalog and place it on your website.

In the productfeed you will find .csv or .xml files containing all products per product group.

Using a productfeed has the advantage that the product information is up-to-date, that non-deliverable products are automatically removed from the feeds and that the information is faster and easier to process for you as an Affiliate Partner.

The product groups contain all the products available for the specific category at the time the feed is created. This can be the offer of bol or of a partner (Zakelijk Verkoper). In the column OfferNL.sellerType and OfferBE.sellerType on each product line you can see who offers the product using a B (bol) or P (Partner).

We update the productfeed (per shop) every two hours.

The best time to download the feeds is half an hour after every odd hour (so at 5:30 AM, 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM…​) so that you always have the most recent information available. Please note that at 03:30 AM we skip a feed update.
