API IP Address Update

UPDATE: Please note the following instructions differ from a previous post.

Shopping.com will be separating US and EU API traffic to separate datacenters next week. In order to do this, we will need partners to update the domains/IPs to which they are sending traffic.

API2 Users currently sending traffic to 'api.shopping.com':

We are requesting that all users with sites targeting US and Australian markets begin sending traffic to 'usb.api.shopping.com' instead.  Similarly all users with sites targeting European markets begin sending traffic to 'api.i18n.shopping.com'. 

API3 Users:

We are requesting that all users with sites targeting US/Australian markets send their traffic to 'publisher.usb.api.shopping.com'.  All users with sites targeting European markets are requested to send their traffic to 'publisher.usa.api.shopping.com'.

Shopping.com will be updating the 'api.shopping.com' and 'publisher.api.shopping.com' domains on April 14th, at which time you may see a significant performance degradation if you have not made the above change.  Please make sure to also clear any DNS caches or update hard-coded DNS host files if necessary.

Thanks,

The Shopping.com Partner Team

    Just to be clear - if we are currently sending traffic to api.uk.shopping.com nothing changes? Or am I completely out of date?

    Dr Read,

    we are uk partner also. I read this as for UK markets:
    v2 of api now should be 'api.i18n.shopping.com'
    and v3 of api should be changed to 'publisher.usa.api.shopping.com' .

    Or am i totally confused?

    We use this domain via API 2:

    uknetguide.uk.api.shopping.com

    From your instructions I would expect this to work but it doesn't:

    uknetguide.uk.api.i18n.shopping.com

    Are we OK to just use api.i18n.shopping.com, regardless of our previous set up?

    Please ignore my previous comments, Mike Seville instructed us to ignore the previous subdomains and use api.i18n.shopping.com
