Major changes to Job DTDs

New job DTD - IADIF-job80.dtd

FINN.no is releasing this DTD version with the aim of cleaning up and simplifying the data format of XML files to make the task of integrating with our API much easier for our partners in the jobs vertical. 

Changes:

  • Inlined HEAD and OBJECT_HEAD elements into a single file.
  • Removed unused elements and attributes.
  • Clearly marked fields as mandatory or optional.
  • Updated comments to reflect existing restrictions.

Removed elements and attributes (do not use these anymore):

Added field REFUGEES_WELCOME to Estate for rent ads

Changelog for https://www.iad.no/dtd/IADIF-estateforrent75.dtd

23.02.2024 Add REFUGEES_WELCOME

this is a field for making it easier for people and businesses renting out estates to show that they want to help refugees. In Norwegian we have called it FINN hjerterom. Read more here : https://hjelpesenter.finn.no/hc/no/articles/115001536449-Hjerterom-Hjelp-til-flyktninger

 

New size definitions and tags for all real estate ad types.

Changelog: 

01.11.2023 Add new estate sizes USEABLE_AREA_I, USEABLE_AREA_E, USEABLE_AREA_B, OPEN_AREA

https://www.norsktakst.no/viktig-informasjon-om-arealmaling/

All updated DTDs can be found here : https://www.iad.no/dtd/

 

New URL for fetching predefined values for Job ads

The FINN.no system for letting users and external Job systems fetch predefined values for some of the fields in the XML (such as DURATION, OCCUPATION and INDUSTRY) was old and outdated.  

Example of the old URL is https://www.finn.no/finn/referencevalue?adType=JOB&xmlCode=DURATION

We have made a new URL for this : http://www.finn.no/job/v1/referencevalue

An example for DURATION values would look like this : 

https://www.finn.no/job/v1/referencevalue?xmlCode=DURATION 

The new API has an identical interface, so the clients only need to change the URL in their configuration, but migrating to it will bring lots of opportunities.

 

While maintaining backward compatibility, we are adding one long awaited feature to the API. 

So far clients had to retrieve OCCUPATION/GENERAL and OCCUPATION/SPECIALIZATION values in separate calls. 

By calling the new endpoint with parameter OCCUPATION, they will receive everything together, with specializations nested under the general values.

A more detailed specification of the endpoint is available at: https://www.finn.no/job/v1/referencevalue/documentation

In addition, the new endpoint will soon provide even more job-specific features, such as:

  • JSON format in addition to XML
  • More selectable fields related to FINN products

Updates to all motor DTDs to unify the CONTACT_INFO fields

We noticed that we had differences in the CONTACT_INFO fields for the different DTDs for motor ad types.

Some had FAX, others did not. Some had URL and again others not. We have now unified all to have the same fields. 

Now all have this : <!ELEMENT CONTACT (NAME?, PHONE?, MOBILE?, EMAIL?, URL?)>

(for cars, buses, mc, caravan,mobilehome, etc)

The updated DTDs can be found here : https://www.iad.no/dtd/

 

 

New version of the Bus DTD

Ad types and corresponding property types 

In FINN we have a connection between an adtype and the property types. 

This applies to ads published from FINN Admin or the FINN web (private users).

 

What we see is that we do not have the same limitation for imported ads.

The consequences of this is that some ads are placed in the wrong place.

The most obvious example is cottage “hytte” that may be placed under “bolig til salgs” when they should have been placed under “fritidsbolig til salgs”.

This causes 

  • A bad user experience
  • Wrong effect on ads / not high intention traffic

We want customers to publish their ads in the correct place.

In edge cases it is the realestate broker that must decide what is the best choice (helårs fritidsboliger etc) 

We will start moving ads that are placed in the wrong place, but we want external systems (Meglersystemer etc) to send the correct data. 

We will in a while stop ads that do not use the correct values, so it is essential that all systems check that they are sending correct data.

An overview of all adtypes and their corresponding property types can be found here :

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M_psOkfpDjYP1y-ozRyWlE8bk6GoOo1chLPfmTGtNd8/edit?usp=sharing

FINN Eiendom - lademulighet som fasilitet.

<xmlvalue>CHARGING</xmlvalue>
<displayvalue>Lademulighet</displayvalue>

 

FINN Eiendom - gammelt nybygg annonseformat fjernes helt - 8.Nov 2019

I 2012 lanserte FINN eiendom prosjektannonser med en boligvelger og enkelthus. I perioden etter har vi tilbudt kundene en kostnadsfri overgang til den nye modellen for eksisterende prosjekter.

De aller fleste har takket ja til dette tilbudet, men det ligger et fåtall aktive prosjekter/enkeltboliger (23) på FINN eiendom på den gamle modellen,.

Vi jobber nå med et større løft på vår nybyggvertikal, for å ikke forsinke dette arbeidet vil vi fase ut den gamle kategorien fra 1/1-2020. Disse vil da ikke lenger være søkbare hos oss.

Dette er annonser som bruker ESTATE_DEVELOPMENT elementet i vår IADIF-estateforsale DTD.

Vi vil informerer våre kunder om dette og gi de mulighet til å erstatte disse med nye annonser innen midten av desember.

Alle nye annonser skal overføres på disse elementene:
ESTATE_DEVELOPMENT_SINGLE - enkelthus
PROJECTDATA - prosjekter med boligvelger

Vi ser at det kommer noen annonser der megler endrer annonsetype f.eks. Fra bolig til salgs til Nybygg som bruker det gamle elementet. Dette må dere endre så fort som mulig.

Ny DTD fil for bobil og mc. 

https://www.finn.no/dtd/IADIF-mobilehome-6.dtd

https://www.finn.no/dtd/IADIF-mc73.dtd

 

I forbindelse med videre utrulling av "trygghetselementer" på FINN Motor har vi nå oppdatert våre DTD'er på MC og Bobil.
Dette er for å tilgjengeliggjøre at deres systemer kan oversendte informasjon til FINN som er nødvendig for å få elementene på den enkelte annonse.
Våre trygghetselementer er som følger:
 
1. Reklamasjonsrett: denne trenger dere ikke å forholde dere til. Et objekt får ikonet "5 års reklamasjonsrett" dersom det annonseres av en forhandler og "2 års reklamasjonsrett" dersom det annonseres av en privatperson. Dette gjøres automatisk hos FINN.
2. Garanti: Dersom feltene for garantitype, garanti varighet (tid) og garanti varighet (km) er fylt ut vil dette vises på annonsen. Dersom garanti varighet (tid) er 6 måneder eller mer vil annonsen få "garanti" ikonet.
3. Service: På FINN vises: "Kjøretøyet er vedlikeholdt i tråd med fabrikkens anbefalinger for service". Dette blir da en lovnad annonsøren gir potensiell kjøper. Et Ja/nei felt for deres del.
4. Tilstand: Samme som punktet over: et ja/nei punkt for dere. Hvis ja fremkommer det på annonsen at det foreligger en godkjent tilstandsrapport for kjøretøyet.

Updates for the Agri-tool and Threshing machine dtd files

It is now possible to specify VAT_INCLUDED (yes | no) for agri-tool and threshing machine adverts.
This is includes in the new dtd files http://www.iad.no/dtd/IADIF-threshing_machine-21.dtd and
http://www.iad.no/dtd/IADIF-agri_tool-22.dtd
The files can also be downloaded from the DTD & example XML file page.

Change notification: «variant» field on FINN Motor

Dear customer of FINN motor and dear provider of a system/solution for publishing car ads on FINN.no

FINN cars has together with NBF (faggruppe bilsalg) decided to reduce the allowed number of signs in the «variant” field to 55. Moreover, we have decided to clarify what advertisers are allowed to write in this field.

The changes will be effective of February 1, 2017 and will include all cateogires and sub categories on “Bil til salgs”:

  • Biler i Norge
  • Biler i utlandet
  • Bobiler
  • Campingvogner
  • Varebiler i Norge
  • Varebiler i utlandet

This decision is made based on user testing conducted by FINN, showing that «viriant» fields with over 55 signs are confusing to the users.

From February 1, 2017 it will only be possible to write a maximum of 55 signs in the «variant» field. All charactes beyond number 55 will not be visible on the live ad on FINN. We emphasize that this change will affect all new and existing ads, effective of February 1, 2017.

Furthermore, we emphasize that the «variant” field is meant for an elaboration of the type of car, not a selling text or other words not intended for describing the type of car which is being advertised. It is allowed to write single words to describe, e.g.: engine size, horsepower, wheel drive, gearbox, equipment level/package (S-line, Summum, Highline and so on), Etc.

We ask all system providers to adjust their ad insertion so that no ads coming from your system to FINN.no contains more than 55 characters.

We emphasize, once more, that we are making these changes in order to improve both user experience and ad effect on FINN motor.


Kind Regards,

FINN.no AS – motor team

 

Using the <PROVIDER> tag and providerID

For security purposes for both FINN.no, our customers and business partners, we want all the datatransfer providers of ads to FINN.no to start using a tag/field called  <PROVIDER> .
The field will contain an identifier that is unique for each datatransfer provider so that we can secure ourselves against someone attempting to transfer a fake ad (from getting hold of a file from one of our customers) and trying to upload it to us. 
The PROVIDER tag will also help us in the find to easily identify which transmission system a file has come from so we can more easily know who we should contact if there are any errors or problems. 
The PROVIDER tag is located in the first section of the xml file right after the PARTNER tag.
Example:
 
 xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
 !doctype iad.if.estate.forsale system "http://www.iad.no/dtd/iadif-estateforsale69.dtd"
IAD.IF.ESTATE.FORSALE  
HEAD     
 
<PARTNER>customers partnerID<PARTNER> 
<PROVIDER>transmission systems providerID<PROVIDER>    
 
 HEAD   
 OBJECT
 OBJECT_HEAD
 
 
If you have any questions or want a providerID for your system, please contact us at import@finn.no 
 

 

FINN Motor demands either registration number og VIN on all car ads from March 3, 2017

Dear customer/partner,

FINN have decided to demand either a Norwegian registration number or a vehicle identification number (VIN/Chassis number) in order for a user/partner to publish a car classified ad on FINN.

The change will be effective of March 3, 2017 according to FINNs notification obligation of such changes.

The reason for this change is related to repeated occurrences where private- or professional users of FINN advertise cars which are not in their possession on FINN motor. This is a violation of FINNs advertising rules.

This change will be effective for all users of FINN.no, both private users and car dealers, regardless of the method for publishing ads on FINN motor. The change will incur that it will not be possible to publish a car ad on FINN.no without typing in either a valid, Norwegian registration number or a vehicle identification number (VIN) in the ad insertion scheme.

From March 1, 2017 the following rules will apply to all ads on «bil til salgs» on FINN:


1. The advertiser must enter either the Norwegian registration number or the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car her or she is selling


2. The field «chassisnummer» will be mandatory for all advertisers (this field gets auto-filled if the user enters a valid Norwegian registration number).


3. The field «chassisnummer» must contain at least 8 signs – numbers and letters (veteran cars have a 8-sign VIN).


Ads that don’t fulfil these rules will not be published.

If you are publishing cars via a third party system like e.g. CARWEB2, your system provider has been informed about these changes and are responsible for adjusting the system accordingly

For third party system providers, we ask that you adjust your ad insertion so that all ads coming from your system contains a «chassisnummer» (Vehicle identification number).

Our goal is that these changes will make it even safer for buyers and sellers to purchase and sell cars via FINN.no


Kind regards,

FINN.no AS – motor department 

 

Important update on feedback/ object respons (31.05.2016)


We at FINN.no are making and important update on the object response (feedback on transferred files to FINN.no).

We would like to inform you that we are making the url to our new statistics module available in the object response. You will find this url in the new tag called STATISTICS_URL.
If you already are receiving object response as xml you must make sure that the xml don't break when the changes is put into production.

Here is an example on how the new response will look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE FINN.IF.OBJECTRESPONSE SYSTEM "http://www.finn.no/dtd/FINNIF-objectresponse11.dtd">
<FINN.IF.OBJECTRESPONSE>
<HEAD PARSESTATUS="ok">
<PARTNER>MypartnerIDhere</PARTNER>
<IMPORTTYPE>STORING AD
</IMPORTTYPE>
</HEAD>
<OBJECT STATUS ="ok">
<ORDERNO>123-order-123</ORDERNO>
<VERSION>1</VERSION>
<USERREFERENCE>A userreference here </USERREFERENCE>
<URL>http://www.finn.no/finn/object?finnkode=88888888</URL>
<STATISTICS_URL>http://www.finn.no/a-new-URL-to-our_statistics</ STATISTICS_URL>
</OBJECT>
</FINN.IF.OBJECTRESPONSE>

 

This is an example on how it will look visually:
