Hi, any help appreciated ?
In Velo, I need to create an XML file from multiple Wix database rows. No problem in generating the data I have the Wix experience for that … . but how do I create it in a local (backend Wix) file that can then be retrieved by a URL ? Upload to the Media Manager and use its URL from their ?
This is how Kyero.com works for importing lists of properties from your real estate website. You create an XML file and they will retrieve it by URL at 01:30am… Is this possible at all ?
thanks

I think I’m following. Please correct if I’ve got it wrong, but:

  • Create an XML file from the CMS using Velo
  • Store the XML file in the media manager
  • Get a shareable link for the XML file so someone can download it

If that’s all correct, it sounds like the bit you’re getting stuck on is the last point.

I’d probably take a look at the wix-media-backend APIs and choose the one that works best for your use case, but in the meantime - getDownloadUrl - Velo API Reference - Wix.com - allows you to provide a temporary URL for downloading a single file
