What is a datafeed?

A datafeed is a text file that includes several pieces of information about our products, separated by commas. It's very similar to an Excel spreadsheet -- one row for each product, and several columns of information.

What do I do with the datafeed?

Some technically savvy affiliates might load the datafeed into a database and display product information dynamically. If your website uses a database to store link information, then the following information will be extremely helpful.

What kind of datafeeds are available?

Currently there are 2 main FTP feeds available to affiliate partners that are being updated daily.

home_garden_decor
Home_garden_decor.csv
Non_Media
Non_Media.csv

These datafeeds are available from the Overstock.com ftp site and updated by 3AM Mountain Time every day.
