Integration guide

Everything you need to plug your catalogue into BadgerScout and read what comes back — the file you upload, the files you receive, and how they move.

These pages describe the interfaces between your systems and BadgerScout — the shape of the data you send and the shape of what you get back. If a field or channel here doesn’t fit your setup, your account manager can adapt it during onboarding.

How the data flows

One file in, two files out, on a daily rhythm. That’s the whole integration surface.

  1. 01
    You send a catalog

    One CSV of the products you want tracked.

  2. 02
    We match & monitor

    Matched across multiple retailers, refreshed daily.

  3. 03
    You receive exports

    Matches, market positioning, and price history.

Conventions

  • Encoding — UTF-8 everywhere, comma-delimited CSV (RFC 4180) or UTF-8 JSON.
  • Currency — all prices in euros (EUR), gross retail price including VAT.
  • Numbers — a . decimal separator in files (e.g. 64.99), regardless of locale.
  • Timestamps — ISO 8601 in UTC (e.g. 2026-06-18T08:11:00Z).
  • Joins — your client_ref is echoed on every export row, so results map straight back to your PIM.
