Working with the suppliers you already use.
Supported suppliers
Is your supplier supported?
EagleLytics® doesn’t keep a list of approved suppliers. Compatibility is decided per website: if your supplier’s site runs on a supported platform and meets a few requirements, it can be monitored. Check any supplier in seconds.
How a check works
- 1
Paste the supplier’s website address
Any product or storefront URL will do.
- 2
The platform is detected
Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento or Squarespace.
- 3
robots.txt and location are checked
Crawling permission, USA/Canada, and EU-business signals.
- 4
You get a yes or no
Plus the reason, so you know what to do next.
Check your supplier’s website
Paste a URL and EagleLytics® runs the same detection it uses when you add a supplier — platform, robots.txt and location — and tells you whether the website can be monitored. No account needed.

Compatibility requirements
What makes a supplier website monitorable.
EagleLytics® is designed to monitor your own suppliers responsibly. Every website is checked against these requirements when it is added and before each scan.
- 01
Public product pages on a supported platform
The website runs on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento or Squarespace and lists its products publicly. EagleLytics® detects the platform automatically from the URL.
- 02
Based in the USA or Canada
Supplier websites are checked for their location. Websites hosted or operated outside the USA and Canada are not monitored.
- 03
robots.txt allows crawling
EagleLytics® reads the website’s robots.txt before every scan, honours crawl-delay, and identifies itself as EagleLyticsBot/1.0. Websites that disallow crawling are not scanned.
- 04
Not an EU-operated business
Websites showing signs of an EU-operated business (VAT numbers, legal notices, EU addresses) are detected and excluded.
- 05
Not a major retailer or marketplace
A global blocklist excludes large retailers and marketplaces. EagleLytics® is built for monitoring your own suppliers, not general retail sites.
- Or
The supplier gives you API credentials
A Direct API Connection skips website crawling entirely, so robots.txt does not apply. Available for Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce suppliers.
If a supplier isn’t compatible
Ask for API access.
Many suppliers will issue API credentials to their dealers. With those, EagleLytics® reads the catalog directly — faster, more accurate, and independent of the website.
Ask your supplier
Request read access to their store API. For Shopify that’s an Admin API access token; for BigCommerce a store hash and access token; for WooCommerce a REST API consumer key and secret.
Add a Direct API Connection
In EagleLytics®, go to Suppliers → Add Supplier → Direct API Connection, pick the platform and paste the credentials.
Test the connection
Click Test Connection. EagleLytics® confirms it can reach the catalog before anything is saved.
Scan and sync
API scans return the full catalog with every variant in seconds. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never displayed again.
Two ways in
Website URL or direct API.
Website URL connection
Paste the supplier’s storefront URL. EagleLytics® detects the platform, checks robots.txt and monitors the products the website lists publicly. No account or permission from the supplier is needed.
- Works with any supported storefront you can browse
- Respects robots.txt and crawl-delay, identifies as EagleLyticsBot/1.0
- Rate-limited per domain so the supplier’s site isn’t burdened
- USA and Canada suppliers only
Direct API connection
When a supplier gives you API credentials for their store, EagleLytics® reads the catalog directly through the platform’s API — no crawling at all. Available for Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce suppliers.
- Full catalog with every variant in seconds
- Not subject to robots.txt or crawl limits
- Variant-accurate stock straight from the source
- Credentials encrypted at rest and never shown again
