API merXu

In order to use the REST API, it is necessary to generate access data for the application (client_id and client_secret). This data is generated once for each integration, regardless of the number of users or queries performed.

To generate your access data, please contact api@merxu.com.

In order to use most of the functionalities it is necessary to authenticate with user data. For this purpose, it is necessary to enter a login and a password. For maximum security, we suggest generating a dedicated password for each integration:

After logging in (https://api.merxu.com/docs#operation/authentication-authenticate) the user receives two tokens:

• accessToken — a token to be used at each subsequent request for authentication. The token is valid for 30 minutes.
• refreshToken — a token used to generate a new accessToken.

API is available in all languages supported by merXu. To receive data in the desired language, use the accept-language header (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers / Accept-Language) — eg. “Accept-language: pl-PL” or “Accept-language: pl”.

Bravo! You have made your first offers, just look how the first customers will respond ;)

Remember that you can also find them yourself, thus increasing the chance of a successful transaction.

Request for quotes watchdog

A good place to find customers is the list of public request for quotes. HERE you will find requests created by potential Buyers.

If you find an interesting query, make an offer to the Buyer.

With a feature "Request for quotes watchdog" you will never miss quote relevant for you anymore.

Whilst browsing "Request for quotes" listing you can click the button "Observe". If you do so, you will be notified about new quotes meeting your search criteria. This can be simply one selected category or specific keyword, ie. manufacturers brand or even a combination of both.

You can define multiple queries, depending on your needs.  You can easily edit these queries directly on our Request for quotes listing page.

Notifications about new request for quotes will be sent to your email. 

You will receive notifications regarding your chosen keyword, even if it is entered by a buyer from abroad in their native language.
