Product Import

Import products from Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and other e-commerce platforms into your Mobazha store.

Overview

This skill helps you migrate or copy product listings from existing platforms into Mobazha. Two approaches are available:

• Bulk Import (recommended) — package products as a ZIP with JSON + images and upload in one call
• Individual Create — create listings one at a time via the Admin API

Bulk Import via MCP Tool

If the store is connected via MCP, use the listings_import_json tool for the fastest bulk import:

{
  "import_json": "{\"listings\":[...], \"shippingProfiles\":[...]}",
  "images_base64": "{\"photo1.jpg\":\"<base64>\",\"photo2.jpg\":\"<base64>\"}"
}

The tool builds a ZIP archive internally and uploads it to POST /v1/listings/import/json.

Contract Types

Variants

Each variant uses a selections map (not separate name/options fields):

{ "selections": {"Color": "Red", "Size": "M"}, "price": "24.99", "quantity": "50", "productID": "SKU-001" }

Collections

Group products into collections by referencing their slugs:

{ "title": "New Arrivals", "products": ["product-slug-1", "product-slug-2"] }

For the complete field reference, see references/mapping.md.

Image Handling

Images referenced in listings[].images must be provided as base64-encoded data in the images_base64 parameter. The filenames must match exactly.

To prepare images:

1. Download product images from the source platform
2. Base64-encode each image file
3. Build the images_base64 JSON map: {"filename.jpg": "<base64-data>"}

Bulk Import via Direct API

For non-MCP contexts (e.g., shell scripts), build a ZIP file manually:

ZIP Structure

my-import/
├── listings.json          # Required: product data + shipping profiles
├── profile.json           # Optional: store profile data
├── images/                # Product images referenced in listings.json
│   ├── photo1.jpg
│   ├── photo2.png
│   └── ...
└── videos/                # Optional: intro videos
    └── demo.mp4

Upload

curl -X POST "https://your-store.example.com/v1/listings/import/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "file=@my-import.zip"

Response

{
  "data": {
    "total": 10,
    "created": 8,
    "updated": 2,
    "failed": 0,
    "createdItems": [{ "slug": "product-1", "title": "Product 1" }],
    "updatedItems": [{ "slug": "product-2", "title": "Product 2" }],
    "errors": []
  }
}

References

Detailed per-platform extraction guides and field mappings are in the references/ directory:

Supported Sources

Method 1: Shopify Import

1. Export products via CSV or API — see references/shopify-api.md for details
2. Transform to Mobazha format — see references/mapping.md for field mapping
3. Download all product images locally
4. Build the listings.json (include shippingProfiles for physical goods)
5. Upload via listings_import_json MCP tool or direct ZIP API

Method 2: Amazon Product Import

1. Collect product URLs or ASINs to import
2. Extract product data — see references/amazon-scrape.md for scraping code and DOM selectors
3. Transform to Mobazha JSON format — see references/mapping.md
4. Download images locally (use high-res URLs: replace _AC_US40_ with _AC_SL1500_)
5. Upload via listings_import_json MCP tool or direct ZIP API

Important: Respect robots.txt and rate limits; use 3-5 second delays between requests; verify pricing before import

Method 3: Individual Listing Create

For small imports (< 10 products), create listings one at a time via the listings_create MCP tool:

{
  "listing_json": "{\"slug\":\"my-product\",\"metadata\":{\"contractType\":\"DIGITAL_GOOD\",...},\"item\":{\"title\":\"...\",\"price\":\"9.99\",...}}"
}

Or via the Admin API:

POST /v1/listings
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Images must be uploaded first via POST /v1/media to obtain content hashes.

Authentication

MCP Connection

If the store is connected via MCP (recommended), authentication is handled automatically through the MCP session token.

Direct API Access

For direct API calls, authenticate via OAuth to obtain a Bearer token, then include it in the Authorization header.

Rate Considerations

• Bulk import handles rate management internally — one ZIP upload imports all products
• For individual creates, process one at a time and wait for each to succeed
• Report progress to the user (e.g., "Created 15/50 listings...")
• Large ZIP files (100+ products with images) may take 30-60 seconds to process

Credential Handling

• Never store, log, or display API keys or passwords after use
• For Shopify/Etsy API access, the user should provide their own API keys
• MCP tokens are session-scoped and managed by the platform

Limitations

• Product reviews cannot be imported (they are store-specific)
• Physical goods require shipping profiles — include them in the import JSON
• Payment options are set at the store level, not per-product
• Digital product files must be re-uploaded to Mobazha
• Maximum ZIP size: 300 MB (configurable)
• Maximum video size per listing: 15 MB
