Search Query Results
Combining your own scripting technology with XML search queries is the most flexible way to implement the search engine.
You will have full control over the appearance of your page. It is also a lot less likely for robots categorize your page
as duplicate content. However, the XML search query method takes a lot more work on your part. Because there is no way for
DataFeedFile.com to ensure the replacement of clickthroughs, the XML search engine will only serve products from sponsored
merchants.
XML Server Access Token
You must obtain an XML server access token for your server before your server can submit queries to our XML search engine.
You can obtain an XML server access token by logging into your affiliate account and going to the
XML Access Manager subtab under the
Settings tab. You can only have one XML server access token
per affiliate account (therefore, only one web server can make XML queries per affiliate account).
To make a query against our XML search engine, simply submit a GET request to the following address:
http://www.datafeedfile.com/xml/xml_load.php?xml_script=xml_search.php&dfftoken=ODNmN2QwYmM2Yjc2NDBhZGZjNDI2ZT&affid=1001
You need to replace
1001 with your affiliate id and
ODNmN2QwYmM2Yjc2NDBhZGZjNDI2ZT with your
XML server access token. The query above will return the first twenty products from the pool of all the products you have been authorized to display.
