- Using the SugarCRM API

SugarCRM provides a robust API that you can utilize to import products programmatically. Here’s how you can do it:

Authenticate with SugarCRM API:
Use OAuth2 or Basic Authentication to connect to your SugarCRM instance.

Retrieve Products from Pimcore:
Use Pimcore’s API to fetch the products you want to import.

Create Products in SugarCRM:
Use the SugarCRM API to create new product records. You’ll typically send a POST request to the /Products endpoint with the product data.

Or 

Using Data Import Tools
If you prefer not to work directly with APIs, consider the following options:

CSV Import:

Export your products from Pimcore in CSV format.
Use the SugarCRM import feature to upload the CSV file directly into SugarCRM

Here you have some information that maybe can help you to have an idea or another to do the import, I hope I can help you!

Thank you for you response !
so that involve creating a web interface or just a script that does it

should the data be mapped to SugarCrm objects or it can be posted as it is?

and what if we already have products, would the existing products be updated or just new entries will be created

You can choose between a web interface and a script based on your needs.
Data should ideally be mapped to ensure compatibility with SugarCRM.
Existing products can be updated based on unique identifiers, or new entries can be created if they do not exist.

one last question

what is the endpoint that i shou;d be using because I have looked at the endpoints listed here:
Endpoints - Sugar Support (sugarcrm.com)

I found this but I dont know if it is the correct one:
/ProductTemplates/tree POST

For importing products, you should primarily focus on the /Products endpoint for creating new entries and the /Products/{id} endpoint for updating existing ones. The /ProductTemplates/tree endpoint is not the correct choice for importing products directly.

It could be, but I am not sure about this question... I hope I have helped you.

I couldnt find an endpoint such as /Products and that's why I have asked. 
Perhaps I missed something

you did, thank you for your help so far

Products in Sugar are the line items of quotes. Each Product is a unique item sold or offered within a quote.

ProductTemplates are the abstract definition of the items which can be added to quotes. 

I would suppose you want to import your products as ProductTemplates.

Each module has an has an endpoint …/<modulename> with methods GET, POST, PUT, UPDATE and DELETE.

You can use the field sync_key as an external unique index in each module.
