Long Description	“Why do we succumb to hubris? Peter Beinart has written a highly intelligent and wonderfully readable book that answers the question by looking at a century of American foreign policy. As with everything Beinart writes, it is lucid, thoughtful and strikingly honest.” — Fareed Zakaria, author of The Post-American World “Peter Beinart has written a vivid, empathetic, and convincing history of the men and ideas that have shaped the ambitions of American foreign policy during the last century—a story in which human fallibility and idealism flow together. The story continues, of course, and so his book is not only timely; it is indispensible.” — Steve Coll, author of Ghost Wars Peter Beinart, one of the nation’s leading political writers, offers a provocative and strikingly original account of American hubris throughout history—and how we learn from the tragedies that result.

This describes how to use version 2.x of the data feed. Version 1.x of the feed is no longer supported in any way.

Accessing the data requires your account to have an active data feed. This switch can be turned on or off on the data feed page. This is also where you will be able to view your KEYCODE which is required to make calls to the feed.

You must always pass these...

• keycode : 16 digit code (your app doesn't need to log in, it only needs the keycode)
• mode : json, xml or csv

When looking up data...

• find : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
• comp : yes/no (optional, defaults to "yes". if "no" skip the company lookup)
• pending : yes/no (optional, defaults to "no". if "yes" pending updates may be returned)
• search : normal/deep - if this is omitted or any unexpected value, a normal search will be performed. A deep search  will take longer than a normal search. Our web bots will make an effort to locate more information about the product. This only happens if we have no information on file already. This can take a couple extra seconds or up to a minute. Your app needs to be able to deal with this delay. (defaults to normal)

When updating data...

• update : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
• field : The product field to update (sorry, no company updates allows)
• value : The new value (will go into a pending area until validated)

• Only products information can be updated (no company info)
• Only update one field per request
• Update may be ignored if other pending updates exist
• Error result status is returned if updating a locked product
• To upload product images, see this blog article.

To download the list of categories...

• get : category

The feed return data structure...

All fieds are returned regardless of the result. Check the status code before trying to make use of any of the data returned. As long as the code you send is valid (not an error) the barcode field will hold a link to a baccode graphic. If you get a 404 error because we can't find the product, you may still get valid data in the company section so you may want to check the company name field.

You will need to make requests for the content of the long description in a separate call get=long_desc to the GET or POST request. In this case, you will only get back the long description. The return structure of the long description data looks like this...
