Prices from Live integration in Schedule Task AddIn

Hey guys,

I have a project with live integratiom, the prices are fetched from an external system . I developed a scheduled task that generates a custom XML with all the active products. I noticed that some of the products don't have prices in my export, but they do on the website. In order to get the prices, I do this

priceContext = new PriceContext(currency, country);

priceService = new PriceService();

var activeProducts = Services.Products.GetAllProductsWithoutVariants(false, LANGUAGE_ID, false)

                    .Where(i => i.Active);

foreach (var p in activeProducts)
{
var price = p.GetPrice(priceContext).Price;

}

The question is: does this method return the right price from Live integration ?

Hi Alexandru

Usual the live integration runs in the context of a user from user management that have a customer number attached to them. In that case, since there is not user, that will not happen in this case.

The pricecontext do have a Customer property that you can set. Live integration can also be setup to run in anonymous mode.

When you run a schedule there is no http context - and some live integrations have a dependency on sessions, httpcontext and other ugly stuff that might cause them not to run here. But the latest versions of Dynamicweb standard live integration (7.3+) should be able to run out of context.

Also it is possible to use the webapi (/dwapi/docs/ - Products enpoint) to query for products and their live prices.
