How to Export Shops with 1000s of Listings

Created Mar 8, 2023

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.
