Changing, deleting and adding records (delta updates)

Apply incremental record changes with delta updates and understand when to use them safely.

This interface lets you update, delete, or add individual records or batches of records in the search database.

Changes made through this interface may be overwritten by the next data import.

The product data export from your shop system remains the basis for imports. Use this interface mainly for temporary fixes or quick record corrections.

Changes are available in search immediately. When you save the database, the changes are written to disk and remain available after a restart. Saving requires processing power, so it should not be done after every single change request.

REST-Interface

The REST API documentation is part of the search application and is available at [your NG server]/fact-finder/swagger-ui.html. You can also access it here:

Swagger Link: https://ng-demo.fact-finder.de/fact-finder/swagger-ui.html

The relevant methods are documented under records. In addition to parameter documentation, you can test requests and inspect the results directly. Because the documentation is built with Swagger, you can also use Swagger Codegen to generate a client for your code.

Important:

• Only send actual data changes to FactFinder.
• Queue updates and send multiple changes in one request whenever possible.
• Use delta updates for incremental changes, and keep a regular daily csv import as your baseline.
