I recently made a script that calls Amazon's product api and inserts into cartridge for an affiliate mash up site. I based the script off of what Stephen linked earlier and the mezz/cartirdge chart: http://cartridge.jupo.org/_images/graph.png. The most products I've inserted at one time has been around 100 since I'm hand picking the products and I loop through a list of item numbers that call the script to insert into cartridge.
I didn't run into any problems, everything works - ratings, images, categories. I'd suggestion playing around with Cartridge api within a shell to play around with the product database. I'd suggest to keep at it and don't give up. Ryan On Wednesday, July 30, 2014 9:35:35 PM UTC-4, Stevo wrote: > > My biggest product feed is JSON and has 20k skus and gets updated every 2 > weeks.
