Include WordPress files in an independent script

Question

Which file of WordPress would I include in a totally independent PHP script which not need to generate a webpage as output, only modify the database with the WordPress classes and functions?

Oh yeah, this is the same question and solution. – kukko Aug 10 '16 at 18:16 — kukko, Aug 10 '16 at 18:16

Sounds like it should be in its own new file. I could elaborate if you gave more information about exactly what you are trying to achieve.

I want to write a script which scrape CSV files from shops and insert the products from the CSV into the database. – kukko Aug 10 '16 at 17:35

When and how is the script going to be called? CRON? – George Litchfield Aug 10 '16 at 20:09
Yeah, it's run in every hour. – kukko Aug 11 '16 at 08:19

I finally found it.

If you simply include the wp-load.php from the root directory of the WordPress site, you got the full functionallity of WordPress, but it will not generate output.
