Before You Begin

Click here to install the API Connector add-on from the Google Marketplace.

Part 1: Connect to the Etsy API

The easiest way to get started with the Etsy API is through API Connector’s built-in integration.

1. Select Etsy from the drop-down list of applications
   
2. Under Authorization, click Connect to Etsy
   
3. You be asked to authorize the connection. Click Grant access
   
4. You’ll then be returned to your Google Sheet, and can verify that your Etsy connection is now active.

Part 2: Pull Data from Etsy to Sheets

Now that we’re connected, let’s pull some data into Sheets.

1. Under Endpoint, choose /shops. This will return your shop ID, which you’ll need for subsequent requests.
   
2. Fill in your shop name, select a destination sheet, name your request, and click Run. You’ll see your shop ID returned in the results.shop_id field.
   
3. You can now plug this value into other requests. For example, the /shops/{shop_id}/listings endpoint requires the shop ID as a parameter.
   
   

Part 3: Create a Custom Request

Alternatively, you can create a custom request instead of using API Connector’s built-in integration, using any of the API URLs shown in the API documentation. To create a custom request, add the complete URL into the request URL field and select Etsy from the OAuth menu.

To easily convert from a preset request to a custom API URL, tick the Add request URL box before running your preset request (under Output options). This will print out your complete API URL, which you can then copy/paste into the request URL field.

Part 4: Fetch New Data Only

To fetch new receipts only, use the /receipts endpoint along with the min_created and max_created time parameters. Switch to append mode to send this data to the end of your sheet.

You can also make these dates dynamic, so you don’t need to manually update the dates each time you run your request. Here’s one method. The sheet names don’t really matter, but using the same names shown here will make it easier to follow along.

Dynamic Dates Example

1. Create a sheet called EtsyData. Run your initial request into this sheet.
2. In the response, find the column containing results.created_timestamp
   
3. Create a new sheet called MaxTimestamp. In this sheet, add the formula =max(EtsyData!Y:Y) into cell A2, substituting in the column letter containing your timestamp. This will fetch the most recent timestamp from your Etsy receipt data.
   
4. Now create a custom request that uses this cell as the min_created value. The URL should be https://openapi.etsy.com/v3/application/shops/22842853/receipts?min_created=+++MaxTimestamp!A2+++. Just substitute in your own shop ID where it says 22842853.
   
5. Switch to append mode and click Run.
6. Following these steps, your request will always automatically pull new data into your sheet every time it runs, and you won’t need to update it again.

Part 5: Handle Pagination

By default, Etsy limits results to 25 at a time. To get more, set the limit parameter to 100.

If 100 records is not enough, you can loop through Etsy’s paginated records using the following settings:

• Pagination type: offset-limit
• Offset parameter: offset
• Limit parameter: limit
• Limit value: 100
• Run until: choose when to stop fetching data
