Syndication Help - Integrate your Adverts into enbuenosaires

First things first

The enbuenosaires property import mechanism works by importing property adverts from a xml file provided by the Real Estate Agent, Real Estate Management Software (REMS) or Aggregator, These are know as "The Provider".

The xml file is uploaded each day by enbuenosaires from a server controlled by the provider and the information about the adverts is used to add new adverts, update existing adverts or remove adverts that are no longer present in the xml file.

The xml file must conform to a specific format defined by enbuenosaires (more on this later) and must be placed on a server controlled by The Provider updated at least every 24 hours.

Each advert must contain certain information including a unique Id (which identifies it in the providers system) and in the case that The Provider is a REMS or Aggregator a unique client ID (which identifies it in the providers system).

In the case The Provider is a REMS or Aggregator please contact us stating your interest and we will pass you with a provider identifier to put in each advert.

Format and specification of the xml feed file

The format of the xml file is defined using an XSD file (xml schema definition) and can be found here:
enbuenosaires xml feed schema definition

Once you have produced a draft xml file check it directly against the xsd you can use this site for that: XML XSD Validator
