README
Unofficial PHP Library for generating Pinterest Catalogs in XML (RSS 2.0, ATOM 1.0) format
This can be used to generate a data source for daily product ingestion by Pinterest. You must already have a business account and a claimed website that meets their merchant guidelines.
You can use this to help convert product data to XML, but you'll have to serve the output yourself.
Installation
Add the library to your project via Composer:
composer require softwarepunt/pinterest-xml-catalog
Requirements
- PHP 7.4+
ext-dom
Usage
Creating an XML catalog
Collect your product data, and then feed it into a XmlCatalog
instance.
<?php use SoftwarePunt\PinterestXmlCatalog\XmlCatalog; use SoftwarePunt\PinterestXmlCatalog\Models\ProductData; // Create a new, blank catalog $xmlCatalog = new XmlCatalog(); // Gather product data $product = new ProductData(); $product->id = "4000086"; $product->title = "Illuminating Makeup Mirror"; $product->description = "A ring light mirror with 23 LED strip lights."; $product->link = "https://www.example.com/cat/illuminating-makeup-mirror"; $product->imageLink = "https://www.example.com/media/catalog/product/image.jpg"; $product->additionalImageLink = "https://www.example.com/media/catalog/product/image_side.jpg"; $product->price = "14,99 EUR"; // Add products to catalog (can be ProductData, other object, or data array) $xmlCatalog->addProduct($product); // Convert to XML and serve as response echo $xmlCatalog->toXmlString();
Product data
Pinterest uses the Google Merchant Data specifications for RSS 2.0, which you can refer to for documentation on the specific fields used.
👉 This library currently only targets fields that are in the Pinterest sample or docs, not the full Google-supported set of fields.
Using the ProductData
class is recommended because it contains relevant phpdocs to make your life easier. You can also
pass your own associative array or object for each product to addProduct()
if you prefer.
If you are adding products from your own object or array, you should make sure that the property names / array keys can
be understood by the library. For example, if you want to set the Google Product Category, valid keys to set it
are googleProductCategory
, g:google_product_category
and google_product_category
.
Required fields
When filling products, the following fields are always required:
Optional fields
These fields are optional and can be used to enrich the product with additional information.
