Hi,
I am not sure if I am in the right place (Flex vs Go version) but here is my question.
I have a project involving Sharetribe in order to use the matching between hospital/clinic on one side and Doctors/physicians on the other side.
I have the whole database of any possible Hospital/Clinic in my country with a unique ID for each of them and I have another database for all the doctors.
Question:
these two database are exposed with API Rest, is it possible that Sharetribe would consume these ?
Is it possible that Sharetribe would allow me to create those “Accounts” with a one time import ? And allow me to update these along the way ?
Cheers
Johan
Hey @johanzoli78,
What a great challenge it sounds 
To achieve that your marketplace uses your database via API calls, you will need to either use Flex or GO Open source (OS) version. The choice between platform here for me would be:
- if I want to build a proof of concept
- or I want to start building a real marketplace what I plan to grow later on
Most likely I would go Flex even considering that it could be more expensive as it provides much-needed flexibility in cases like these. Then I would build an integration to your DB so Flex could access it. Then I could tweak the integration to support one-click import and updating.
Most likely it’s quite similar in the GO OS version, but there I would be worried that at someday I’ll face customizations what will not be worth do it vs the money I would get from it.
I hope this can be in any use.
Cheers,
Martins
