What this page does

A URL source downloads a file from an HTTP/HTTPS link. It fits supplier price lists, static XML/YML/CSV/JSON and links with basic auth or token.

How to use it

  1. Create a source and choose URL module.
  2. Paste a direct file link.
  3. Set method, headers or authorization if needed.
  4. Click Check access to verify server response.
  5. Click Receive file and save the working version.

Expected result

  • Eofferix downloads the file and stores it as a source.
  • Refresh can run manually or by schedule.
  • Profiles use the latest accepted version.

Common issues

  • The link should return a file, not an HTML login page.
  • If the server blocks bots, use proper User-Agent, token or IP allowlist.
  • Redirects and temporary links can expire.
