So, then I could parse the individual XML to extract the description, SKU, etc. I feel this way because it's an obvious solution and thats what the client keeps asking for.doesn't mean that it's correct though. What I feel I need to do is GET the XML for a product and grab the image and store them. My categories contain thousands (over 40k for instance) of products. I find it easy to adhoc a script to use a GET request for each XML file and image.then could dump them into directories, but Icecat does NOT want you to rip very large amounts. Here is where I run into question/concern.

At this point, I inserted all the data into a table, so now I have a table for like 'Printer cats', this contains the URL to the images and the id for the XML for each product in the category.Easy enough.

I extract the data about the products that I need based on the Category ID.

I GET the XML feed of the entire catalog.

My question is, what is a good model for populating a product catalog's database?

XML-format = all data per product in an easy format for developers.I am working on building a catalog of products based on OpenIcecat's (Icecat Open Catalog) and I am looking for advice from someone who may have experience with this, or possibly experience with another similar service (like C-Net maybe).

URL-format = links to datasheets and to product images.

The open catalogue is available in xml format or url format.
