XML feed format

These are some simple guidelines for the creation of a XML file to include jobs from your site in Trovit. If you need more information about the XML format you can check the 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: description of the job
• city: city name
• city_area: city area or neighbourhood (optional)
• region: name of the region/county/state (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)

The XML feed would 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>

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

<ad>
    ….

</ad>

<ad>
    ….
</ad>

…

</trovit>
