Any content that can be viewed in a web browser can also be retrieved in any format; either as json, xml, text, ..., name it. You need to know regular expression (Regex) and use Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction [a computer software technique of extracting information from websites]), to achieve your purpose. This (in my opinion) can be best done in a language that support multi-threading (especially if you want to do real time pulling) eg C# (don't mind I am still in LOVE with .net)

Contact me for a software that does this. Price is 20k though. The software will scrape both sites and present you with a csv/sql file you can import into your database.

A developer will have to work on your site to help you achieve it.

Write Jumia or Konga for your api key

Use httprack, or simply pass a wget command to download the site, then save the logs of the site in a text file, look up the part that has something like this


Http:// www.xxxx.com/api?


Or simply write to jumia to give thier own api
