Custom fields unique to client feeds

It may be that your unique XML feed to JobRelay from JobAdder contains custom fields. This are usually unique classifications and/or fields.

The are converted to lowercase and spaces replaced with underscores. For example, if you have a custom field with the name of “Display Location”, this will come through in the JobRelay feed named display_location.

Geo location fields

These fields are available for all providers. The providers don’t actually send this data. It is generated by JobRelay for each job and then sent onto your WordPress website.

JSON nodeData typeExample valueNotes

geo_formatted_addressstringChester, UKThe formatted address of the location sent.
geo_citystringChesterThe name of the city for the geo located location
geo_country_shortstringGBThe shortened country name for the geo located location
geo_country_longstringUnited KingdomThe long country name for the geo located location

geo_administrative_area_level_1_shortstringEnglandThe short version of the first level administrative area.
geo_administrative_area_level_1_longstringEnglandThe long version of the first level administrative area.

It is worth noting that not all of this data is available for every job. JobRelay uses the Google Geo coding API to obtain Geo data for each job, using the job_location field.

The location is run through the API and the resulting data sent on. Depending on the location string, not all this data may be available.

For example, if the location sent via JobRelay is Lancashire, UK, a geo_city value will not be present. This is because the location is not specific enough to return a city value.
