Syndigo API
The CXS Platform API is a documented REST surface for supplier and retailer workflows: product records, publishing, digital assets, taxonomy, hierarchies. Auth is API key based. Enhanced Content is the notable gap: it cannot be created via the API and needs a separate Batch XML process.
Frequently asked questions
Syndigo scores D+ on the API Report Card. The CXS Platform API is a documented REST surface for supplier and retailer workflows: product records, publishing, digital assets, taxonomy, hierarchies. Auth is API key based. Enhanced Content is the notable gap: it cannot be created via the API and needs a separate Batch XML process.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
