Syndigo Integration Guide
Integrate Syndigo product content, items, categories, attributes, and digital assets with enterprise systems through tenant-specific APIs and scheduled Martini workflows.
Syndigo integration options at a glance
Syndigo publicly positions APIs and integrations as part of its platform, with REST treated as the likely primary mechanism for reading and updating Products, Items, Categories, Attributes, Digital Assets, and syndication status. Exact endpoints, versions, authentication schemes, and tenant permissions must be confirmed for the deployed Syndigo modules. High-volume processing may use bulk or asynchronous jobs, while Digital Asset Management may require file APIs, URLs, or exports. Webhooks and outbound callbacks are not universally confirmed and should be validated for each event. Martini can orchestrate scheduled workflows, consume supported APIs, map data, expose normalized APIs, and manage retries, validation, and reconciliation.
Common Syndigo integration patterns
Common Syndigo data objects used in integrations
Authentication and security considerations
Tenant-specific authentication
Syndigo API authentication is not fully documented publicly for all modules. Confirm the tenant’s credential scheme, base URL, API version, permissions, and environment before implementation.
Credential protection
- Store API credentials, tokens, and secrets in Martini secure configuration or Secrets Management.
- Do not embed credentials in mappings, workflow expressions, or payloads.
- Use HTTPS and restrict access to the Syndigo objects and operations required by the integration.
Authorization and asset access
Permissions may differ for product data, taxonomies, syndication operations, and Digital Assets. Validate access in a test environment and protect authenticated asset URLs and downloaded files.
Operational considerations for Syndigo integrations
API limits and pagination
Confirm request, concurrency, page-size, and job limits with Syndigo. Use consistent pagination, bounded concurrency, exponential backoff, and durable checkpoints.
Incremental synchronization
Use updated timestamps or change tokens where available. If change notifications are unavailable, use scheduled reads with a bounded overlap window and deterministic deduplication.
Validation and idempotency
- Use stable Product, Item, Asset, job, SKU, and GTIN identifiers for upsert and duplicate protection.
- Store item-level results for mixed bulk outcomes rather than treating an entire batch as successful or failed.
- Separate permanent validation failures from retryable transport, rate-limit, and temporary vendor errors.
Schema and taxonomy changes
Required Attributes, Category values, channel rules, compliance requirements, and Asset requirements can change. Keep mappings configurable and test changes before production deployment.
Reconciliation and testing
Record request timestamps, identifiers, payload hashes, response statuses, validation messages, retry counts, and final synchronization states. Use scheduled reconciliation to detect missed, withdrawn, or deleted data.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestration beyond point-to-point calls
Martini coordinates Syndigo API calls, source-system reads, target writes, validation, enrichment, status polling, and exception routing in maintainable workflows rather than scattering logic across scripts.
Reusable mappings and APIs
Martini can transform Syndigo Products, Items, Categories, Attributes, and Digital Assets into canonical models and expose controlled APIs for downstream consumers.
Operational control
- Use schedules, checkpoints, retries, conditional routing, and durable audit data for reliable synchronization.
- Keep credentials and environment-specific settings separate from workflow logic.
- Extend mappings and business rules when tenant-specific taxonomies or channel requirements change.
Reduced integration coupling
A shared Martini workflow can isolate Syndigo API changes from multiple downstream systems, support reconciliation, and provide a consistent place for monitoring and error handling.
