Getting image urls from a Volusion store csv export

I am creating a Volusion integration to allow users to import products into our site from their Volusion store. I am using csv instead of the API, since the API is only enabled for stores with plans of a certain level.

In the Volusion products export there is a photourl field for all products, but only one url is listed. What if a product has 2, 3, or more photos?

I am aware that there is a naming convention with Volusion products, and all products are stored in a single directory. However this doesn't really help me learn whether a second, third, fourth, etc. image exists for a product. Any tips? Thanks!

Solution

  • Unfortunately the standard export will only give you the main photo URL

    For example:

    http://www.yoursite.com/v/vspfiles/photos/SKU001-1.jpg
http://www.yoursite.com/v/vspfiles/photos/SKU002-1.jpg
http://www.yoursite.com/v/vspfiles/photos/SKU003-1.jpg

    Do you have the capability of calling a GET on -2.jpg, -3.jpg, etc for each product, looking for a 200 or 404 until you've found all the images for each product?
