How to Export Shops with 1000s of Listings
Created Mar 8, 2023

The Problem:
Etsy only allows 14,500 API requests each day.
Shops with 1000s of listings can quickly reach this limit with exports.
Why? Exports can use up to 5 requests per listing:
1000 listings * 3 exports * 5 requests = 15,000 requests!
Solutions:
- Only export the columns you need
- Use
listing_state
filters - Use
listing_id
filters - Use shop section filters
Every export without filters must request every listing from your shop.
When you provide listing_ids as a filter, Shop Uploader will only request the information for those listings. This will dramatically reduce the number of requests.
When you provide shop sections as a filter, Shop Uploader will only request the information for those shop sections.
