What this solution does
The Universal Import module provides flexible data import from various source formats into site information blocks. Supported formats include CSV, XML, YML, XML with information block data, XLSX (Excel), and the ads-api.ru classifieds database. A special software interface allows integration of virtually any other input format.
The module architecture supports processing files of any size without volume restrictions. When configuring a source, users can apply various options and modifiers for pre-processing data before saving it to the site database.
The background import function enables scheduled catalog updates with customizable frequency. CSV files, a widely used data exchange format, can be imported with the ability to distribute content across sections and modify data dynamically to meet specific requirements.
The Universal Import module enables data loading from XML files of virtually any structure. This format is the standard for information exchange in most data storage systems.
The module supports importing product catalogs in YML (Yandex Market Language) format, which has become an industry standard in Russia. It provides a convenient method for processing data from sources using this specification.
Import of price lists in XLSX format is supported. This is one of the most popular spreadsheet formats used since Microsoft Excel 2007, commonly used by suppliers to send their offers. These documents can be imported directly to the website.
The module allows synchronization of data for Info Blocks in the 1C-Bitrix: Site Management (BUS) CMS. Files of this format are generated by the standard export of an Info Block to XML. This enables a site running on BUS to update its own data, such as a product catalog, using information from another BUS site, for example, a supplier's catalog.
The module enables data import from the ads-api.ru service, an aggregator of classifieds from various sources including Avito, Cian, Yula, and others. It automates the transfer of collected listings to your website. Filters can be configured to import only relevant ads. The process supports regular scheduling to keep the database continuously updated with new listings.
Detailed instructions for module configuration and import formats are available on the developer's website.
