h2. FeedMiX web api
26 1 Novaclic Support
27 8 Novaclic Support
You don't need to use the web "Web interface":http://feedmix.novaclic.com to build a FeedMiX, you may build the query url on the fly to get your result. Please note that if you plan to use it on your website, we ask you to request a "TOKEN" from us. It's free, but will enable us to size the server according to your need, by monitoring the usage statistics.
