Why teams connect Akeneo and InfluxDB

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in InfluxDB: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products from Akeneo into InfluxDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Akeneo holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in InfluxDB, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Akeneo with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed alert-relevant thresholds and asset metadata from business systems into InfluxDB tags for richer queries.
  • 02 Sync device and telemetry rollups from InfluxDB into a CRM or ERP so account teams see product usage and fleet health.
  • 03 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.
  • 04 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.

Common sync patterns

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Akeneo, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in InfluxDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Akeneo API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

Updates in Akeneo arrive as row changes in InfluxDB, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

What you can sync between Akeneo and InfluxDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects InfluxDB objects How this pairing syncs
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Retention policies to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Organizations Tenancy scope for tokens and buckets in multi-tenant deployments. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Organizations to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Buckets / databases Named containers with retention settings that scope reads and writes. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Buckets / databases to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. Products is specific to Akeneo and Measurements to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Points to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Tags Indexed key-value metadata used for filtering and as sync partition keys. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Tags to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and InfluxDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Akeneo InfluxDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to InfluxDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

InfluxDB Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.

How the Akeneo and InfluxDB connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

InfluxDB

Integration surface
REST API with line-protocol writes; queries via InfluxQL, Flux, or SQL depending on version
Authentication
API token
Change detection
Polling with time-range queries; data is timestamped, so incremental reads use time cursors
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.
