• Set up an XML file in the format described below
• Download our validator to ensure that your XML feed is Trovit friendly
• Using our contact form, send us an email that includes a URL where we can read the XML file you have created. For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/trovit_feed.xml

Should you have any problems or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

XML Feed Format

Here are some simple guidelines to create an XML file and include the ads from your site in Trovit. If you need more information about the XML format, check Wikipedia.

The XML file has one ‘trovit’ tag, and one or more ‘ad’ elements. Each ‘ad’ element has the following fields:

• id: id of the ad in your website (numeric or alphanumeric, but has to be unique because we use it to avoid duplicate entries)
• title: job title
• url: URL of the ad on your website
• content: job description (minimum of 30 characters)
• city: city name
• city_area: city area or neighbourhood (optional)
• region: name of the region/county/state (optional)
• postcode: postcode/ ZIP code (optional)
• salary: salary (text, can include comments or ranges) (optional)
• salary_numeric: numeric value of salary (optional). For example, if “salary” is 20,000-30,000, “salary_numeric” could be 25000
• company: company name (optional)
• experience: required minimum experience (optional)
• requirements: other minimum requirements (optional)
• contract: type of contract (optional)
• category: category name, if any (optional)
• date: date of the ad in the following format: DD/MM/YYYY
• time: time of the ad in the following format: HH:MM (optional)
• working_hours: full-time, part-time, … (optional)
• studies : required study level (optional)

The XML feed should look like this:

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

<ad>
    <id><![CDATA[...]]></id>
    <title><![CDATA[...]]></title>
    <url><![CDATA[...]]></url>

    <content><![CDATA[...]]></content>

    <city><![CDATA[...]]></city>
    <city_area><![CDATA[...]]></city_area>
    <region><![CDATA[...]]></region>

    <salary><![CDATA[...]]></salary>
    <salary_numeric><![CDATA[...]]></salary_numeric>

    <company><![CDATA[...]]></company>

    <experience><![CDATA[...]]></experience>

    <category><![CDATA[...]]></category>
    <date><![CDATA[...]]></date>
    <time><![CDATA[...]]></time>
</ad>

<ad>
    ....

</ad>

<ad>
    ....
</ad>

...

</trovit>

You can copy and paste the previous code and use it as a template for your XML file
