Connecting Your Feed

A feed is where FeedSync gets your property data. Each feed has a provider (the format and software) and a delivery method (how the data reaches FeedSync).

Providers & formats​

Provider formatDescription
REAXMLThe standard Australian real estate XML format. Exported by most CRMs (e.g. My Desktop, Inspect Real Estate, and other REAXML-compatible software).
RockendData sourced from Rockend products.

REAXML is the most common choice. When you create a feed you select a provider that already knows the format and the delivery methods it supports.

Delivery methods​

Portal Push (file drop)​

The default method. FeedSync gives the feed a watched folder; your software (or a portal feed) drops REAXML files into it, and FeedSync picks them up and processes them automatically.

FTP​

FeedSync provisions an FTP account for you and shows you the host, username, and password on the feed page. Point your agency software's export at those FeedSync-hosted FTP credentials — you don't enter your own external FTP server.

note

FeedSync uses standard FTP. You configure your software to upload to the credentials we provide; FeedSync then processes whatever lands in the folder.

API (direct upload)​

Your own system pushes REAXML straight to FeedSync over our upload API using OAuth2 — ideal for custom integrations and high‑volume offices. This is a push model (your system sends data to us), not FeedSync polling you. See API Feeds for the full flow.

Manual file upload​

Regardless of delivery method, you can always upload a file by hand from the feed's Files tab — handy for testing or a one-off import. See File Upload.

Multiple feeds​

You can run several feeds on one account — for example one per office or one per software system. Each feed has its own files, processing history, listings, and connected sites.
