Export large shops with 1000s of listings

The Problem

Etsy only allows 14,500 API requests each day.

Shops with 1000s of listings can quickly reach this limit with exports.

Why? Exports can use up to 5 requests per listing:

1000 listings * 3 exports * 5 requests = 15,000 requests!

Solutions

• Only export the columns you need
• Use listing_state filters
• Use listing_id filters
• Use shop section filters

Every export without filters must request every listing from your shop.

When you provide listing_ids as a filter, Shop Uploader will only request the information for those listings. This will dramatically reduce the number of requests.

When you provide shop sections as a filter, Shop Uploader will only request the information for those shop sections.
