Feed Types & Formats
The format of a feed is set by the provider you select when creating it.
REAXML
REAXML is the standard XML format used by most Australian real estate software, and the recommended format for FeedSync. Any REAXML-compatible CRM can export to FeedSync — for example My Desktop and Inspect Real Estate, among others.
Property types carried in REAXML include residential, rental, holiday rental, rural, commercial, commercial land, land, and business listings.
Setting up your software: configure your CRM to export REAXML and deliver it to FeedSync using your chosen method — Portal Push, FTP, or API. Refer to your software vendor's documentation for the export settings.
Rockend
For agencies whose data originates in Rockend. Select the Rockend provider when creating the feed; FeedSync handles the Rockend-specific parsing.
File requirements
- Encoding — UTF‑8 is preferred. ISO‑8859‑1 and Windows‑1252 are also handled automatically.
- Extension —
.xmlfor REAXML. - Well-formed — files must be valid XML. Malformed files appear in the Failed tab with a parse error so you can re-export and retry.
Date formats
REAXML modification timestamps are accepted in several formats. Dates are read as written (no timezone is assumed):
