Channels

Channels lets you pull data out of Starhive into other software — e-commerce and multichannel marketing tools like Channable that manage product listings across sales channels. It's a natural fit if you use Starhive as a PIM and need to feed a product data feed downstream.

Find Channels in the Extensions menu, connect, and create your first channel.

Creating a channel​

A channel needs a name, a description, and the type to fetch objects from, plus an optional StarQL filter to narrow which objects of that type are included. Creating it generates a URL for retrieving the resulting file.

caution

Once created, all Media and avatar attribute values for objects of the configured type become publicly available at that URL.

Fetching the feed​

Call the channel's URL with an Authorization header carrying a Personal Access Token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sp_12ef..." https://api.starhive.com/channels/{channelId}
