Point of Interest XML File Preparation

Uploading bulk POI files allows you to upload or replace multiple point of interests or addresses for a customer.

All the records in a XML file must be for the same object. Note the following when processing XML files:

All required fields when you create a record.
Files must be in UTF-8 format.

The POI data header must include:

<PoiDataHeader customerId="12345467" locationType="7" purgeExisting="true">

This adds all the address to customer 1234567, the addresses are created with a location type of 7, and existing addresses of the same type with location type 7 are removed.

In addition to the header, the body of the bulk file should contain:

<Poi>
     <shortName>Starbucks Dublin</shortName>
     <longitude>123.309484</longitude>
     <latitude>123.309484</latitude>
     <accuracy>10</accuracy>
     <name>blah</name>
     <street1>blah</street1>
     <street2>blah</street2>
     <zip>blah</zip>
     <city>blah</city>
     <state>blah</state>
     <country>blah</country>
     <phone>blah</phone>
     <email>blah</email>
     <url>blah</url>
  </Poi>
