A Quick Dive Into The Retail APIs Rabbit Hole
We recently took a dive into the world of retail APIs to better understand the landscape, and we found ourselves falling down a rabbit hole of opportunities when it came to understanding what is happening across the retail landscape. While there is no single place to get a complete view of the landscape, there are a dizzying amount of services that allow the right person to paint a pretty compelling picture with a variety of colors being applied.
When looking for retail APIs, the first thing many think of are the big retailers like Walmart and Walgreens who have their own API programs. There really isn’t much value in these ecosystems when it comes to trying to understand the landscape, as the retailers are just looking to provide access to their product catalogs, and really don’t emit many other signals that would help someone trying to understand the landscape. https://goo.gl/dJYtBH #DataIntegration #ML
