The SAGE® XML DataStream™ is a full-featured API designed to give promotional products distributors direct access to the vast SAGE product and supplier database in order to implement customized end-user search tools or internal applications. Unlike our other research tools that are turn-key solutions, the XML DataStream was specifically developed for complete customization and integration into a distributor’s own architecture.

The XML DataStream is an Internet-based interface that uses XML structured queries to obtain information. There are several types of queries that can be made. Each query will return data in XML format, which you can then parse and use in your application as necessary. The web interface, ecommerce functionality, and other parts of your site are your responsibility. If you are looking for a turnkey solution instead of developing your own application, take a look at our SAGE WebStore™ product.

The information is obtained from our servers in real-time as your application requires it. Storage of information to be used for future database queries is prohibited so that your application will always have the most up-to-date information possible.

For more information on the SAGE XML DataStream, please contact your account executive.
