# Export feed > A machine-readable XML or JSON list of items and image URLs that other systems read automatically. Also known as: XML feed, JSON feed, dynamic feed, e-commerce export feed. Category: Software. An export feed is a machine-readable file, usually XML or JSON, that lists items with their properties and image URLs. E-commerce platforms and other systems read the feed at intervals to pick up new and updated content automatically. ## How PhotoRobot uses it PhotoRobot Controls provides password-protected dynamic feeds in XML or JSON at project, organisation or client level, with properties such as name, ID, SKU, status and timestamp. Feeds let the first finished images of a large order go online while the rest is still being photographed. ## See on photorobot.com - [System integration: output data](https://www.photorobot.com/manuals/system-integration) - [Image hosting: integration](https://www.photorobot.com/software/image-hosting) ## Related terms - [Automatic publishing](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/automatic-publishing): Making finished images available online immediately after capture and processing, without manual upload. - [PhotoRobot Cloud API](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/cloud-api): PhotoRobot's REST API for integrating the studio with catalogue, DAM, PIM and e-commerce systems. - [Item export](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/item-export): PhotoRobot Controls function that exports items to local disk or cloud in chosen formats, sizes and file names. - [SKU (stock keeping unit)](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/sku): A retailer's internal code for one distinct product variant. ## Where this term appears on photorobot.com Mentioned on 24 pages.
