Shopzilla API developers have changed the type of query share information about merchants. New request is: Merchant Service.

The Merchant Service allows your application to access data about our merchants. It returns three major types of data elements: Merchant Info, Merchant Ratings, and Merchant Reviews. Within the Merchant Info element, this service returns both basic merchant data, such as logo and URL, as well as detailed meta data including description and other attributes. Within the Merchant Ratings element, this service returns detailed merchant ratings data. Within the Merchant Reviews element, the service returns both detailed merchant review data and corresponding merchant response data.

Correspondingly, this service can be used for any combination of four major types of queries:

•lookup of basic merchant data, including merchant logo and URL
•lookup of detailed merchant data, including merchant description and other attributes
•lookup of merchant ratings data
•lookup of merchant reviews data

Data Refresh: Merchant Service content should be cached for no more than one (1) day.

Old Service (Merchant Info Service) will no longer be available after September 15, 2010.
