In Magento, is it possible to populate your product models from an external API instead of the Magento DB?
- by James Pelton
I currently have Magento 1.7 CE installed. I want to use the Magento Product Models, except I want to get the price for the product from an external API (our pricing exists outside of Magento).
I know what I could use the Magento API to import all the prices from our existing database, but our pricing changes very often, and we would then need to maintain two databases.
Basically I'm wondering if there is something in Magento I can overwrite to call our API instead of the DB?
