ShopWired

ShopWired is a UK-based e-commerce platform that lets businesses build and manage online stores, covering products, orders, customers, and store configuration. The ShopWired API exposes these resources over a REST interface, allowing you to read store data and push updates programmatically. Nexla connects to the ShopWired API to ingest catalog and order data as a source, and to create or update products and orders as a destination.

Power end-to-end data operations for your ShopWired API with Nexla. Our bi-directional ShopWired connector is purpose-built for ShopWired, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to ShopWired or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your ShopWired workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Prerequisites

Before creating a ShopWired credential, you need an API Key and an API Secret from your ShopWired account. ShopWired authenticates private API apps using HTTP Basic Authentication, where the API Key acts as the username and the API Secret acts as the password.

To obtain your ShopWired API credentials, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your ShopWired account using your administrator credentials.

  2. Select your account from the left menu, then select your account again from the side menu.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the API access section, where your API Key and API Secret are displayed.

  4. Copy both the API Key and API Secret and store them securely, as you will need them to configure your Nexla credential.

If you need to refresh your credentials, click the generate new API credentials button on the same page to generate a new API Key and API Secret pair. Keep your API credentials confidential and only share them with trusted third parties. If you suspect your credentials have been compromised, generate new credentials immediately. For more information, see the ShopWired API documentation and the Obtaining your API keys guide.

Authenticate

Credentials required

FieldRequiredSecretDescription
API KeyYesNoYour API Key, which acts as the username for Basic Authentication. Found in your ShopWired account under API settings.
API SecretYesNoYour API Secret, which acts as the password for Basic Authentication. Found in your ShopWired account under API settings.

Create a credential in Nexla

  1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

  2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

  3. Enter your API Key in the API Key field. This value acts as the username for Basic Authentication and is found in your ShopWired account under the API access section that you located in Prerequisites.

  4. Enter your API Secret in the API Secret field. This value acts as the password for Basic Authentication and must be kept confidential.

    If your API Secret is compromised, generate new API credentials in your ShopWired account immediately. The API Secret provides access to your ShopWired store data and should be treated as sensitive information.

    For detailed information about ShopWired API authentication and available endpoints, see the ShopWired API documentation.

  5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the ShopWired connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the ShopWired instance, and click Next; or, create a new ShopWired credential for use in this flow.

Manual configuration

ShopWired data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid ShopWired API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new ShopWired data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the ShopWired destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the ShopWired connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the ShopWired store, and click Next; or, create a new ShopWired credential for use in this flow.
