I think this should discussed in the wiki how this API should work exactly.

When someone handles products outside TYPO3 he will have to import his 
tables and every change into the TYPO3 database or there must be a 
database connection via the DBAL to the external product database. If he 
is inserting data from an external database using a Linux cronjob, there 
must be a shell script for this when he uses e.g. MySQL for the TYPO3 
shop and ORACLE for his own product system.

This will be necessary.
