Magento 2 REST API provides a standard way to connect your store with external systems and exchange data through API requests. It can be used to integrate Magento 2 with ERP, CRM, PIM, supplier, marketplace, and other third-party platforms. Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source use the REST API framework to expose a wide range of endpoints for working with store data.
However, using the Magento REST API to import data from an external system is not the same as sending an individual API request. When you need to retrieve product, customer, order, category, inventory, or other data regularly, you also need to handle authentication, data formats, attribute mapping, transformations, and import scheduling.
This is where the Improved Import & Export extension for Magento 2 comes in. It lets you connect Magento 2 to external REST API sources and import data in JSON or XML format. You can configure API requests, map external fields to Magento attributes, transform data, and automate recurring imports.
In this guide, we explain how the Magento 2 REST API works, how to configure REST API data import with Improved Import & Export in 2026, and which features can make API-based data synchronization easier in both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce.
