XML feed
What is XML feed
The XML offer feed is a data file that contains information about individual sales offers in your e-shop (name, price, availability data, etc.).
The feed is most often generated directly from the e-shop database. If you do not know how to get the XML feed, consult your webmaster or contact the platform provider for your e-shop.
XML feed structure
The correct structure of the tags in the XML feed and the amount and correctness of the information they contain contributes to the effectiveness of any campaign in Zboží.cz.
You can check the correctness of your XML feed in our validator. We recommend that you place the individual offers of the XML feed on individual lines, so that, if an error occurs, the validator can tell you specifically which line it occurs on.
When processing the XML feed, we do not store duplicate offers, we evaluate them according to their identical name in the PRODUCTNAME tag and the identical value in the ITEM_ID tag.
The XML feed created must always be uploaded to the website, so that Zboží.cz can regularly download information about individual offers from its URL address. The frequency of downloading can be set between 1x and 12x per day. The total number of offers in the XML feed is not limited.
