Re: Need to import/export item images within the Item Library - Status changed to: Not currently planned

Hey there, @dpowell7299 & @JTPets 

 

I have merged the older posts to your Feature Request, so our Product Team can see how long our sellers have been requesting this particular feature. 

 

Currently, this isn't on the roadmap to get implemented. Doesn't mean it cannot get on there in the future. 

 

When we get more information, we can circle back to update the status. 

 

Thank you!

I definitely get how you feel @IndyRick. For context, most of the features that exist in Square were made possible thanks to feedback from Sellers like you. 

 

It was never Square's intention to make you feel like your data is kept away from you. However, submitting a feature request puts this need front and center of our Product Team. 

 

Thank you for your understanding and I hope you have a great day.

Sorry, I can't wait on your development timing. I am developing (PHP &MySQL) my own display application that will make use of what data you do deign to provide right now. A business case shouldn't be required for data access. FREE MY DATA.

Thank you for taking the time to share your interest in this feature @alhstudio2021 At this time, exporting pictures isn't something that our team has planned. However, I recommend you submit a Feature Request here. This will help our product team get visibility and track other Sellers with similar interest in your request. 

 

Important: When submitting a request, make sure to include the desired feature, and provide the details of how this feature would help your business succeed (how would you use it and what you expect from it).

How to import/export item images within the Item Library?

[The title of this thread has been edited from the original: How to export items images together with the library to excel?]

 

I am trying to export my items library to my laptop excel. For some reasons the items images are not exported. Can anyone please tell me how do I do so? Thank you.

This is possible now with the API and a google sheets script. I myself used ChatGPT to write an API Call to export it to google sheets using google apps script

@JTPets Im sorry to bother you, but is there anyway you can give us a step by step?

@VibeCostumes I have created a sharebale google sheet and a brief video showing how to use the script. However I am reluctant to release it to the broader community until someone from square reviews it for safety. I dont know enough about code to know if my code could break your square account.

 

I believe it to be safe, but it is 100% AI written. I did share the post in a private forum on the seller community asking to have someone from the tech side of Square vet it for safety. 

 

However what i accomplished can be done again using any AI LLM that is good at code and I sent it copy and pastes of square API documentation when it got stuck.
