Overview

In order to integrate with XML feed, you must produce an XML file that complies with the format and structure supplied below. In addition to this, there are a few other requirements that you must follow:

1. To be eligible for integration via XML, adverts must be made available in an XML file at a public URL, with due permission to be downloaded at any time of the day, following the following encoding:
   XML

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   

2. We only process bulk XML files. This means that your file must contain all adverts meant to be published and updated. Adverts previously published that are no longer in the file will be deactivated.
3. Publish, update or deactivate will be reflected on the selected real estate portal, depending on the client plan contracted.
4. Permanent delete option is not available via XML feed import, the client needs to perform that operation directly on the portal.
5. We only process one file per client and market, which means that in one file, client adverts must be included in the same file, and all of these adverts will be processed in one specific market.
6. You must make your XML file available in one of the following ways:
   • Public URL or protected with Basic Auth
   • FTP
7. You must host all images related to adverts. Our XML format supports image links which our integration system will download and publish together. So make sure you have our IPs whitelisted if required.
8. [Soon] At the end of the process, the client can monitor the processing results through the load report, which is sent to user's email.

Actions required to set up the XML connection

1. Set up a host
2. Create an XML file and make it available at a public URL
3. Send an e-mail to [email protected] along with the following data:
   • URL that points to the XML file directly,
   • your technical e-mail address that we can use for further contact if any technical questions will arise,
   • the Agency's e-mail address, which it uses on the portal to publish adverts,
   • add the Agency to the carbon copy of the e-mail.
     Once we have the above data we will be able to set up the connection on our side for you.
