I need URLs & Image URLS for all items

Can someone help me, I need a way to make a list of all items i have on my website, essentially i need 3 things, Title, url, and its image url.

 

I am trying to expand my catalog to other 3rd party platforms but to upload my catalog is a nightmare.

 

Anyone know how to do this without losing my mind manually trying to do it?'

 

I am trying to set up my google merchant center, and square doesnt integrate google free item listings for Canadians natively but google will add items when it scrapes items, or i have to use a google sheet upload and this is nuts to try and create manually for 1600 items...and google hasnt scraped more than 200

 

Thank you in advance!
@isabelle any ideas?

Hello there @JTPets 👋

 

I don't know of a tool that would let you export your catalog this way. I will try to check if there is something our team can do to help and get back to you.

Getting back to you here @JTPets! Sadly, at this time there is no way to export a catalog with images and URLs. You're more than welcome to submit this as a Feature Request on our Square Online Ideate Board

@JJ_ I sadly had to pay someone to scrape my website for me, and then do a bunch of excel wizardry....$100 later I have my data without squares assistance.

@AndySQ Tagging you in on this as I believe this is important information that NEEDS to be included in the catalog export. As you can see below in this image, relying on a natural scrape by google my website had 200 items identified, and 30 approved for "release" to the google ecosystem.

 

Now having PAID a 3rd party to get data square should have easily available to me as it all sits in a database for query.... I now have 1500 items approved for release to the google ecosystem including FREE ADS!!!!!

 

If square wants me to be successful so I can continue to support them, I need to have access to all my data in easy to use formats

@JJ_ The imformation provided to you earlier was incorrect. There is indeed a way to do this with the API and some code, you can export these things to google sheets. I have a proof of concept that i created with the help of AI that works with a developer API key and a google sheet.

 

This is the kind of information that needs to be shared better both with yourself and users like me. I can share details in private if you wish to learn more, I am not confident that that my tool is yet ready for public consumption by general users.
