XML Feed
Format
In theory we can support any type of XML or JSON feed, so if you have an existing feed just send it to us. However if you need to create a feed from scratch, we suggest you use the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Including programmatic bids in sponsored feeds
For sponsored feeds, we suggest you include your bids in the following way:
<job>
...
<programmatic>
<bid>
<cost_model>CPC</cost_model>
<currency_code>USD</currency_code>
<amount>3.50</amount>
</bid>
</programmatic>
</job>
Feed content
The feed needs to contain all of your jobs and not just your new jobs. If a job is not in the feed we won't list it.
Update frequency
Your feed needs to be updated at least once a day, preferably just before midnight (GMT). Ideally the feed directly connects to your database, so it is always up-to-date.
