Documentation for the iSiteTV Product Integration & Synchronisation Utilities.
About Our Services
These automated utilities support our digital commerce infrastructure. You can learn more about how we drive retail traffic and manage these integrations by visiting our Where to Buy Service Page.
Purpose & Scope: isitetv-product-sync
The isitetv-product-sync is a multi-purpose data verification engine. It operates exclusively on pre-defined, product-level URLs to handle two distinct operational streams:
- Retail Partner Websites: Caching pricing and stock status to power accurate consumer-facing "Where to Buy" widgets.
- Manufacturer Websites: Onboarding core catalogue assets by validating structural metadata—including official Product Names, MPNs, and EANs - to ensure cross-network brand integrity.

Technical Behaviour & Compliance
Targeted Fetching
This agent does not broadly crawl environments or follow discovery links. It targets specific, verified destination links mapped within our central database framework.
Robots.txt Preference
We honour robots.txt path instructions. In the absence of specific instructions in robots.txt for our agent, we follow standard site wildcard guidance.
Rate Limiting
Requests maintain a polite delay layout (typically 1-10 seconds) to guarantee zero impact on host platform or infrastructure performance.
Flexible Scheduling
We offer partners the option to coordinate or restrict the specific daily time windows when data checks are performed to cleanly align with off-peak hours.
