Hi, I am having difficulties in making the following choice:
use bulk data feed or gbase api to maintain clients store inventory in gbase background: I am an experienced programmer, I have over a couple of years experience with adwords api and other search engines apis questions: 1. is there any functionality that the api offers and can't be acquired by using datafeeds? 2. if I initially add 1000 items using a data feed, then after 1 day submit a feed with 10 items, what happens? are the 990 items paused/ deleted? 3. if i submit another feed with the same 1000 items, but some of them have some attributes changed - will the existing items be changed? 4. are statistics shown correctly if I use a data feed? 5. why should someone use gbase api if just building a good feed is enough? 6. why would google offer an API (which includes different platform support, examples, etc), if all can be done by scheduling a data-feed? I mean, besides queering the snippets feeds, the rest of the API seems like a luxury from programmers for programmers. correct me if i am wrong thanks in advance, Albert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
