Product Feed API
Our HTML5 library comes with a set of functions for receiving products from a product catalog.
To make use of our product functions you must specify "$productFeed", "$products" and optional "$numberOfProducts" as variables in your manifest.json file:
"variables": {
"$productFeed": 6,
"$products": "{{products}}",
"$numberOfProducts": 4
}
In the example above the {{products}} macro will be populated with an array of max four product objects from product feed with ID 6.

Example
The following example creates a <div> element and sets its text content to the first product's title.
<script type="text/javascript">
html5.ready(function() {
var firstProductTitle = html5.products.all()[0].title;
document.getElementById("product").innerHTML = firstProductTitle;
});
</script>
<p>First product: <span id="product">...</span></p>
Testing
To test certain products simply set the product IDs yourself in your manifest.json file. Don't forget to remove the $productIds variable before submitting the ad to our system.
"variables": {
"$productFeed": 6,
"$products": "{{products}}",
"$numberOfProducts": 2,
"$productIds": ['r2d2','stormtrooper']
}
Please read our JavaScript Reference for information about available product functions.
ClickTAG definition
When fetching item(s) from the feed and wishing to use imageLink as ClickTAG, it can be define as the example below:
window.open(itemLink,"_blank")
As the URL is already existing in the feed you will not have to use any of the functions html5.getClickTag() or html5.createClickTag().
