XML Datafeed API Access

Background

Focus' legacy Datafeed consists of an XML file generated at the store-level. This file represented a database dump providing integrators with all labor, employee, financial & product data generated by Focus.
Legacy integrators would have a store-level agent application that would obtain this file,

To simplify integrators migrating to Focus' Cloud-Based solution, the XML Datafeed is now accessible from a RESTful GET request.

How to obtain the XML Datafeed

Using your Integrator Credentials integrators will make a REST GET request to:

https://focuslink.focuspos.com/datafeed?date=<day of business - yyyy-mm-dd>

For example:

https://focuslink.focuspos.com/datafeed?date=2019-10-11

The integrators Authentication Header must be properly calulated and contain the storeKey that the Integrator is request Datafeed for.

For example:

Authentication: hmac 1234567891011121314:rfQ7BNTJCwOjLMUZKtmM9++Q8I/hCzc3dp3X53iXPFw=:7166

Note that 7166 is the storeKey in this case.

This GET request will return the XML Datafeed for October 11th, 2019 for storeKey 7166.
