Crow Shooting Supply API and integration
Crow publishes over SFTP as scheduled file drops, so Project Parabellum collects what has been left there rather than asking a question and waiting for an answer. Two things follow from that for a dealer. The catalog does not exist on this hub at all until you have supplied your own dealer-specific login, because the connection is not a shared integration key. And there is no way to force a refresh — if a quantity changed an hour after the last file was written, it stays as written here until Crow writes the next one.
What Project Parabellum normalizes from Crow Shooting Supply
Project Parabellum normalizes every item in the Crow Shooting Supply feed — manufacturer, model, caliber, and category — into a shared vocabulary, so the same UPC carried by Crow Shooting Supply can be compared against the same UPC carried by any other distributor we sync, rather than compared only within Crow Shooting Supply's own naming. Dealers who connect their own Crow Shooting Supply credentials see account-specific availability on top of that; everyone else sees catalog breadth and stock presence.
