Data Feeds???

I have created a site which displays subscription based property listings. Currently, real estate companies purchase a subscription and then enter their property descriptions and images manually through a member’s admin area and stored in database on my server. All works great.

However, I have some clients that have existing sites that are now wanting to buy a subscription but when they enter a property listing on their site, have that same listing display on mine. So, the client actually only enters the listing details and images one time on their site, then it should feed to mine.

Using PHP, I’m not sure how to accomplish this. Can someone steer me in the right direction as to where I need to look for information and/or the proper approach as I’ve seen this done on other sites but no clue where to begin.

Thanks

@SrWebDeveloperFeb 26.2010 — Ask them if they generate an RSS feed which includes the listing so you can include it on your site.

Or, look into a shared MLS database broker such as one found here where they act as middleman for agents across the country, for you and your clients.

Otherwise it gets more complex, i.e. one of you creates a custom API so the other gets the data via XML-RPC.

Success!
