Start export

To have the export run regularly, we’ll now set up an automatic export in the last step. Please click on Export in the left main menu, then on Export Manager.

Then please click on Create new task on the right.

In the form that follows, you only need to change one thing: select Gunfinder as the Export format.

Once you’ve done that, you can save the task and you’ll return to the overview with all exports.
To have some data to work with right away, you need to start the export manually once. Please check Gunfinder and then click on Trigger cron manually.

And that’s it.

The URL to your data feed will be as follows: Your shop URL + /export/gunfinder.json
