If you would like to publish large quantities of items on Adoist, the best way to do so is by sending us an XML data feed. Below we explain the steps you need to take to make sure the feed meets our specifications.
Encoding We accept only UTF-8 encoding.
Feed type The feed must contain every ad you want to be live on Adoist. The ads that are in the feed will be posted to Adoist. Any ads that are no longer in the feed will be deleted from Adoist. We require a static URL for this option (a URL that never changes).
Update frequency The frequency that we update your feed depends on your settings. You can choose the number of days between updates.
