Akeneo Data Loader helps you to load data to your Akeneo PIM via its REST API.

Use cases

Load YAML fixtures for testing, local development or for performance benchmarking.
Import product data from external systems (legacy PIM or regular data providers).

Features

Support for bulk data upload (upsert mode).
Simplified import of media files.

Examples

Load from an array

use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\Api;
use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\LoaderFactory;

$factory = new LoaderFactory();

$apiCredentials = Api\Credentials::create('https://your.akeneo.host/', 'clientId', 'secret', 'username', 'password');

$loader = $factory->createByCredentials($apiCredentials);

$loader->load('product', [
    [
        'identifier' => 'test-product',
        'enabled'    => true,
        'family'     => 'accessories',
        'categories' => [
            'master_accessories',
            'print_accessories',
            'suppliers',
        ],
        'values' => [
            'ean'    => [[ 'locale' =>  null, 'scope' =>  null, 'data' => '1234567890183' ]],
            'name'   => [[ 'locale' =>  null, 'scope' =>  null, 'data' => 'Test product' ]],
            'image'  => [[ 'locale' =>  null, 'scope' =>  null, 'data' => '@file:asset/1111111171.jpg' ]],
            'weight' => [[ 'locale' =>  null, 'scope' =>  null, 'data' => [ 'amount' =>  '500.0000', 'unit' => 'GRAM' ] ]],
        ],
    ],
]);

Load from a YAML file

use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\Api;
use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\LoaderFactory;
use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;

$factory = new LoaderFactory();
$apiCredentials = Api\Credentials::create('https://your.akeneo.host/', 'clientId', 'secret', 'username', 'password');
$loader = $factory->createByCredentials($apiCredentials);

$productData = Yaml::parse(file_get_contents('data/product.yaml'));

$loader->load('product', $productData);

Examples of YAML files

How to load data using data loader

As you can see, to load data you need to know:

Your Akeneo host and API credentials
Data type
Data format

1. Akeneo host and API credentials

I hope you know your Akeneo host, so use it by creating a Credentials object.

Besides this, you need to know the name and password of the user that you going to use for connecting via API.

Last, but not the least, you need the client ID and secret of an API connection.
You can create a connection in you Akeneo in the System > API connection section or use the console command to generate it:

bin/console pim:oauth-server:create-client Import

2. Data type

Data loader supports the following data types:

channel
category
attribute-group
attribute
attribute-option
family
family-variant
product-model
product

and also these Enterprise Edition data types:

asset
asset-variation-file
asset-reference-file
reference-entity
reference-entity-record

3. Data format

The data format is a format of Akeneo REST API.

Check also Examples of YAML files that represent the data format.

How to load media files

You can simply upload a file and assign it as a value of image or file attributes.

$loader->load('product', [
    'values' => [
        'image'  => [
            [ 
                'locale' => 'en_US', 
                'scope'  => 'ecommerce', 
                'data'   => '@file:relative/path/to/your/asset.jpg' 
            ],
        ],
    ],
]);

The prefix @file: tells Akeneo Data Loader to read this media file relative/path/to/your/asset.jpg and assign it as the value of the attribute image.

You can specify the base directory path for media files using configuration of LoaderFactory:

use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\LoaderFactory;
use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\Connector\Configuration;

$configuration = Configurationcreate('assets/baseDir/path');
$factory = new LoaderFactory($configuration);

How to query and modify data

You can use Data loader to modify data fetched using Akeneo API.

use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\Api;
use Aa\AkeneoDataLoader\LoaderFactory;
use Akeneo\Pim\ApiClient\AkeneoPimClientBuilder;
use Akeneo\Pim\ApiClient\Search\SearchBuilder;

// Fetch data using Akeneo UPI

$clientBuilder = new AkeneoPimClientBuilder('https://your.akeneo.host/');
$client = $clientBuilder->buildAuthenticatedByPassword('clientId', 'secret', 'admin', 'admin');

$searchBuilder = new SearchBuilder();
$searchBuilder->addFilter('price', 'EMPTY');
$searchFilters = $searchBuilder->getFilters();

$products = $client->getProductApi()->all(100, ['search' => $searchFilters]);

// Send modified data back

$factory = new LoaderFactory();

$apiCredentials = Api\Credentials::create(
    'https://your.akeneo.host/',
    'clientId', 'secret', 'admin', 'admin');

$loader = $factory->createByCredentials($apiCredentials);

foreach ($products as $product) {
    $product['enabled'] = false;
    $loader->load('product', [$product]);
}
