Creates an RSS feed based on an Canadian MLS realty site search (realtor.ca). There is no API for the Canadian MLS and ideally wanted a feed i could check daily for new properties in my desired search area. So far this script seems to fit the bill.
- to use this, you need to snag the query XML that the realtor.ca sends for the search you want to create a feed from. You may need to use a tool to URL unescape the string. You will need to use firebug, or Chrome inspector etc. to get this. It should start with (...).
- create a new map entry in the searches array using title, output file name and the XML from the above step.
- set up a daily cron to run this script
- add the URL to the output files created by the script to your favorite feed reader
