1. eMAG Marketplace API

eMAG Marketplace API is developed by eMAG for Marketplace partners in order to allow them to use their
own CRMs / ERPs. This document explains the methods for calling the API.
The API can be used in order to:
send products and offers
process orders

1.1. Conventions

We define MARKETPLACE_API_URL constant of being the API URL of the platform

(ex: https://marketplace.emag.ro/api-3)
We define MARKETPLACE_URL constant of being the URL of the platform (ex: https://marketplace.emag.ro)
We define DEFAULT_CURRENCY constant of being the default currency of the platform (ex: RON).
All API parameters are key-sensitive.

PLATFORM Romania Bulgaria Hungary

MARKETPLACE_URL https://marketplace.emag.ro https://marketplace.emag.bg https://marketplace.emag.hu

MARKETPLACE_API_URL https://marketplace.emag.ro/api-3 https://marketplace.emag.bg/api-3 https://marketplace.emag.bg/api-3

Protocol HTTPS HTTPS HTTPS

Locale ro_RO bg_BG hu_HU

Default currency RON BGN HUF

To access the API, simply pass your vendor username, code and well computed hash. Please note that user
should be granted API rights in order to access the API.

$hash = sha1(http_build_query($data).sha1('testpassword'));

1.2. Request, resources and actions

A Marketplace API call is represented by sending a request to API URL of platform. Every request consists of a
POST to an URL like:
MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/resource/action
Ex: https://marketplace.emag.ro/api-3/product_offer/save

RESOURCES AND AVAILABLE ACTIONS

Resource Resource URL Available actions

product_offer MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/product_offer save

order MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/order read save count acknowledge

3
 message MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/message read save count

category MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/category read count

vat MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/vat read

locality MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/locality read count

awb MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/awb read save read_pdf

warehouse MARKETPLACE_URL/api-3/warehouse read

Below a code example using the resource "vat" and the action "read":

<html>
Running...<br>
<?
$data =
array (
'currentPage' => 1,
'itemsPerPage' => 10
);
$hash = sha1(http_build_query($data) . sha1('password'));
$requestData = array(
'code' => 'usercode',
'username' => 'username',
'data' => $data,
'hash' => $hash);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://mktp-stage.emag.ro/api-3/vat/read');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($requestData));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print($result);
?>
</html>

The API needs authorization and has an IP level filtering. Before testing, vendors should provide a list of
whitelisted IPs. eMAG Marketplace will only allow API calls only from those IPs.
The POST data consist of 4 mandatory keys as following:

REQUEST

Key Description

username User name of vendor. Will be provided on vendor creation.

code Code of vendor. Will be provided on vendor creation.

data Data to be passed to the API. The following document will describe keys.

hash SHA1 hash of URL encoded data concatenated with SHA1 hash of user password.

4
 1.3. Pagination and filters

In order to limit the number of items returned, read actions accept pagination by passing to POST data following
parameters:
PAGINATION

Key Description Default value Example

currentPage Set current page displayed 1 currentPage =3

itemsPerPage Set number of items to be displayed in one page. Maximum is set to 1000. 100 itemsPerPage=1000

Also, filters can be included in POST to refine result set. Filters vary depending on the resource called and are
exampled on every resource section.

1.4. Response

When an API call is made, the server MUST reply with a response. The response will ALWAYS be JSON formatted
and the header 'Content-type: application/json' will always be passed.
RESPONSE

Key Description

isError Boolean value representing response status.

messages Messages included in the response, like error messages, etc.

results Results included in the response, mostly when reading resources.

IMPORTANT: Every API request must have a response and the response must contain the key isError and its
value must be false. For each call that does not have the key and false value, we recommend setting up
alerts, as the call most likely was not interpreted. We also recommend logging all calls and the corresponding
API response for a 30 days period.
Every request must have at most 4000 elements. If the call surpasses this limit the call will have a response
with key isError:true and message: Maximum input vars of 4000 exceeded.

2. Sending products and offers
We define a product as a list of elements displayed in in eMAG platform for a product page. These elements
are:

Name
Brand
Part number
Description
Images
Product characteristics (and product families)
Category
Barcodes (optional)
Other attachments (optional)
We define an offer as a list of elements required for an offer to be available for a product. These elements are:

Price
VAT rate
Warranty
Numerical stock or availability info
Handling_time
eMAG Marketplace API allows a vendor to:

Send new products and offers

Send new offers for existing eMAG products (sold by eMAG or any other vendor)
Update existing own offers and/or products

2.1. Reading eMAG categories, characteristics and family_types

Every eMAG product has to be included in a certain category. Vendors cannot create new categories or change
existing ones. Also, a vendor can only post products and offers in its allowed categories list.
Reading categories without parameters will generate a response containing the first 100 categories.
When passing a category id, the API will return the category name and the list of available characteristics and
their corresponding IDs, as well as the available product family_types and their corresponding IDs.
Usually, the corresponding categories for a vendors products are provided by eMAG Marketplace vendor
support team. But you can read the categories and their characteristics through the API also.
The resource is category and the available actions are read and count.

2.2. Reading VAT rates

When sending an offer, you have to send the VAT rate id by sending us a valid VAT id.

The resource is vat and the action is read. The API will return the list of available VAT rates and their corresponding ids.

 2.3. Sending a new product

Sending a product for the first time requires you to send the entire product documentation and all the offer
data. Please note that creating new products implies human validation, so a new product will not be displayed
in eMAG platform immediately.
The products that are not compliant with eMAG Documentation Standard will not pass the human validation;
in this case you will be notified by our support team. The eMAG Documentation Standard that is available upon
request for each category, and it contains the best practices for documenting a product.
In order to send a new product, the resource is product_offer and the available action is save.

IMPORTANT:

In order to change a previously sent product image or attachment the url should be different from the
one already sent. We reload the images only if the URL differs.
We recommend as a best practice sending one product in each product_offer call and multi-threading
requests rather than sending multiple at once. Also, we recommend sending the product data only upon
product create/update, as there is no need to resend product unless it changed. Also we recommend
sending the offer data upon changing (no matter the frequency) and at least weekly (even if the offer is
the same) rather using periodical sending (crons, agents). You should program marketing campaigns
using start_date campaign. Also please offer the possibility for an offer to be attached to an existing
eMAG product (using part_number_key).
When adding a product to a family
o The category id of a product and the category id of its family type (family_type_id) must be the
same.
o All characteristics that define a family must be present and must have a valid value
o All characteristics that define a family must have a single value
o If a family is not valid, you will receive a warning response, but the product will be saved/updated
o When moving a product from one family to another you only have to send the product with its
new family type, id and name and make sure you follow the same rules as above

Mandatory when updating a product offer are the following keys:
id
status
sale_price
vat_id

availability_id
handling_time
stock
Please note that although the API permits sending the entire documentation on each offer update (price change,
out-of-stock change, etc.) we do not recommend or encourage such a practice.
If you need to deactivate a valid offer on the website, you should send the offer with the status = 0.

)
)

2.5. Attaching offers on existing eMAG products

If the product already exists in eMAG catalog, just add the key part_number_key with products
part_number_key. The part_number_key is the last key found in the URL of an eMAG product. It will ALWAYS
have both numbers and characters. Ex: for product http://www.emag.ro/telefon-mobil-nokia-105-black-105-
black/pd/D5DD9BBBM/ the part_number_key is D5DD9BBBM.
If you send the part_number_key the keys category_id, brand, name, part_number become optional.

3.1.3. Order invoices

When pushing orders into finalized status, you should also send the invoice PDF file location for the specific
order. The following keys should be sent in attachments array in order to display an invoice in the customers
order details: name, url, type.

3.2. Order notification, acknowledgment and order filters

When a new order is placed in eMAG Marketplace for the first time, its status is 1 (new) and a GET request with
the order id is automatically made to an URL you provide (call-back URL).
Ex: http://valid_url/path?order_id=123
In the next step, you should read the order passing the id previously mentioned and after successfully saving
the order in your database you should notify us by calling back the API using the route MARKETPLACE _URL/api-
3/order/acknowledge/[orderId]. This stops the order notification system for the mentioned order. Unless
acknowledged, we will notify the new orders for up to 48 hours.
IMPORTANT:
Order acknowledge is the only method of marking the order status as in progress.
Clients may ask for an order to be canceled, this will be done by eMAG only if the order was not
acknowledged by the vendor, thus some of the orders may be read directly with status 0 (canceled).

3.3. Order status matrix

The following matrix defines the order flow in eMAG Marketplace:

20
 New status
Actual status 1 - new 2 - in progress 3 - prepared 4 - finalized 0 - canceled 5 - returned
1 - new No Yes by ACK only No No No No
2 - in progress No Yes Yes Yes Yes No
3 - prepared No No Yes Yes Yes No
4 - finalized No No Yes in 48h max Yes Yes in 48h max Yes in 30 days max
0 - canceled No Yes Yes Yes No No
5 - returned No No No No No No

IMPORTANT:
We recommend setting up a periodical /order/read (cron, agent) that should identify orders that were
not acknowledged. By default on /order/read we expose the last 100 orders, but you can request up to
1000 or use pagination. Do not forget to test the order status matrix against your internal order
workflow. As a best practice you should either acknowledge the order prior the read or re-read the order
after acknowledging it; an order can be modified by eMAG employees upon the clients request as long
as it is not acknowledged.
You can only edit the order when in status 2 (in progress) or 3 (prepared).
Once an order is finalized, you can change its status back to status 3 (prepared) or 0 (canceled) only in
the first 24 hours since finalization.
Order status finalized will be set automatically when issuing the first AWB for that order. See chapter
Saving AWBs.
The order status returned is set automatically when all the products from the initial invoice are
canceled. The change is permitted only within the maximum return timeframe allowed to the customer.

3.4. Order filters

You can read all your orders though the API, using filters.
The following filters are available when counting orders:
Key Description Constraints

id Only the order with this value. Optional. Integer value between 1
and4294967295.

3.5.1. Removing products from an order

To remove a product from the order send the status=0 for the product or do not send it at all.

3.5.2. Adding products to an existing order

To add a new product to an existing order, add it to the order by sending the product id (mandatory), name,
status and sale price.
IMPORTANT: virtual products such as internal discounts can be inserted in an order, even if they were not
previously sent to eMAG. Adding these products to an order will not make them available for purchase in the
eMAG Marketplace platform.

3.5.3. Returned products

A finalized order cannot be modified; it can have some of the products returned or fully returned.
In the event an entire order is returned, a call must be made with the corresponding storno invoice that has all
the products and their negative quantities in the order. The order will automatically change status from finalized
(4) to returned (5).
If some of the products are returned, a call must be made with the corresponding storno invoice that has the
returned products and their negative quantities in the order. You can send more than one storno invoice per
order, but only within the maximum return timeframe allowed to the customer.
If storno invoices are sent for all the products and their corresponding quantities in the order the order will
automatically change its status from finalized (4) to returned (5).
