OpenCart CLI scripts - best practices for creating custom scripts?

Question

Command line

Good day to all!

I understand that the question may turn out to be tritely simple and trivial, but I had to face an urgent task on OpenCart, which I hadn’t dealt with before, and, most likely, I won’t have in the future.

Task:
Using the crown (or by hand) to run the script for synchronizing the commodity base with some external accounting system.

Actually, the question is:
Physical placement in the directory structure, the basic architecture of such scripts, taking into account the fact that from the inside you need to be able to use the internal classes and opencart components responsible for working with the product catalog (adding/removing/modifying categories, products, etc.). )

Actually, an alternative approach:
If the best practice for solving such problems is WebCron, and not CLI (something pulled by wget, for example),

OpenCart version: 3.0.3.2 is also suitable

Answer 1

pulling the wget task you get the user environment with all the limits
Using the cli you are more or less unlimited resources
