Integrations
Feed import
Bulk stock sync via CSV upload or scheduled API/XML/JSON feeds.
Feed import
Use Dashboard → Imports to bulk-create and update stock from a file or live feed URL.
When to use feed import vs REST API
| Feed import | REST API |
|---|---|
| High volume, periodic sync | Real-time or custom logic per listing |
| DMS exports a URL or CSV | Your developer pushes individual changes |
| Minimal code | Full programmatic control |
Self-serve setup
- Dashboard → Imports → Add import source
- Choose CSV upload or API / URL feed
- Map columns to HGV Traders fields
- Set duplicate matching (registration, VIN, or external ref)
- Run the import — drafts or published listings depending on your default status
Concierge setup
If you are time-poor or unsure about field mapping, submit a request from Dashboard → Integrations → Request setup. Our team configures the import source for you and updates the status in Dashboard → Inbox.
Public request form: /connect-stock
Feed formats
- CSV — one-off upload or recurring file drop
- JSON / XML — scheduled poll of a feed URL (with optional auth)
- CSV URL — CSV fetched from a remote URL on a schedule
Imports run through a background pipeline with run history, error CSV download, and retry for failed runs.
