Interact with a specific but defaultish Magento shop via its webpage.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'magento_remote'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install magento_remote

Call

magento_add_to_cart -u customerlogin -p customerpassword -b https://theshop -w productid -q quantity -c

to put quantity of the product with productid in your shopping cart (read about form token parameter further down, if working with 'hardened' magento versions, or magento >= 1.8).

magento_find_product -b https://theshop -s isearchforthisword

to display a table of matching products.

magento_scrape -b https://theshop -l limit -s startpid

to display limit number of products, starting with product id of startpid.

The form_token for add_to_cart functionality is necessary for specially 'hardened' magento instances, or magento versions >= 1.8 . You find it encoded in the URL of any form action that deals with cart additions. It was only tested for 'ajax' cart actions.

Note that all scripts show you information about possible parameters when invoked with --help.

Note that you should work with

bundle exec

and

bundle console

while developing.
