How Trulia’s Data Cycle WorksTrulia currently runs its data cycle once per day. At a very high level, the data cycle progresses through the following steps on its way to completion:

1. Gathering of property listings2. Downloading photos for new listings 3. Normalizing the listing data4. Merging duplicate listings5. Assigning priorities to listings6. Filtering invalid listings7. Downloading photos for new listings8. Pushing listings to the live website

Data Delivery MethodsTrulia has the ability to process feeds that are stored on either a web server or an FTP server. So, after you have configured your system to generate a feed on a daily basis, you will want to submit the information to Trulia for inclusion. You can do this by completing the form athttp://www.trulia.com/submit_listings/feed.

Handling Illegal XML CharactersWhen an XML element is parsed, all of the text within the XML tags is also parsed. This is done because it is possible, and highly likely, that the text will contain other XML elements. Because of this, there are certain characters that are deemed illegal since they will be misinterpreted by the XML parser. To avoid causing the XML parser to break, there are two preferred methods:

Entity ReferenceReplace the characters with their corresponding entity reference:

For example, the following is an incorrect way to include an ampersand:<example>Brokers & Agents</example>

The correct method is:<example>Brokers &amp; Agents</example>

CDATA SectionEnclose the tag value within a CDATA section. A CDATA section begins with “<![CDATA[” and ends with “]]>”:

Entity Reference Illegal Character Description of Character

&lt; < Less Than

&gt; > Greater Than&amp; & Ampersand&apos; ‘ Apostrophe&quot; “ Quotation Mark

Condition Example

Without CDATA <example>this is the value</ex-ample>

With CDATA <example><![CDATA[this is the value]]></example>

Repeatable Tag

are marked “repeatable tag”. These tags can have multiple instances with different values.

For example, if a property has street parking as well as covered parking, you would specify it like this in the XML feed:

<parking-types>

<parking-type>Street</parking-type>

<parking-type>Covered</parking-type>

</parking-types>

Boolean TagsAll the tags that start with “has” or “is” have a value of “yes” or “no”. For example:

<has-patio>yes</has-patio> <is-cable-ready> no</is-cable-ready>

Please leave blank if the value is unknown.

Multiple PicturesTrulia displays multiple photos for each property and we encourage you to submit multiple photos in the feed. It should be noted that we will display the photos in the order of the picture sequence number. If no sequence number is pro-

vided pictures will be displayed in the order they are received of the house displaying on Trulia, make sure that is picture sequence number 1.

CHAPTER 3:

Half BathroomsProperly handling half bathrooms is essential to maintaining a high standard of data quality. So Trulia offers two different approaches for sup-plying bathroom information. For the sake of this example, let’s say the property has two full bathrooms and one half bathroom.

The preferred method is to list the number of full and half bathrooms separately. Example: <num-full-bathrooms>2</num-full-bathrooms><num-half-bathrooms>1</num-half-bathrooms>

However, if the source has a single bathroom field, a single bathroom may be used in the Trulia feed. Example:<num-bathrooms>2.5</num-bathrooms>

Please note that this method breaks down when a property contains more than one half bathroom. By adding another “.5” to the total, the value will incorrectly go to “3”.
