Guide 🔧 For Marketplaces: How to Integrate Your Sold Domain Feed

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

We’re inviting UK-focused domain marketplaces and brokers to integrate with our Sold Domains section at AcornDomains.co.uk using XenForo’s native RSS feed importer.

If you regularly sell .UK domains, this is an opportunity to automatically publish your sales data directly to our community – no manual posting needed. This is a 100% free service.

Integration Requirements:
We accept RSS (XML) feeds that include structured sale entries. Your feed must contain individual <item> blocks for each domain sale.

Each <item> should include:

<title> — Domain name and price (e.g. example.co.uk (£850 GBP))
<link> — Link to domain sale or auction page (optional but preferred)
<description> — Additional details (e.g. date/time of sale, platform)
<pubDate> — RFC-822 date format (e.g. Wed, 09 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT)

Example RSS item:

<item>
  <title>exampledomain.co.uk (650 GBP)</title>
  <link>https://yourmarketplace.com/sales/exampledomain</link>
  <description>Sold price: 650 GBP, ended on 2025-07-08 15:44:00</description>
  <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
</item>

Feeds that only contain <channel> information without <item> entries cannot be used.

How We Use It:
Once your feed URL is submitted, we configure our XenForo importer to create a new thread in the Sold Domains section for each new <item>.

- Threads appear under your username or brand
- Fully automated, no login or manual action needed
- Visible to our active UK domain investor audience

ccTLD-Specific Feeds:
To ensure proper categorisation and avoid manual moderation, we kindly ask marketplaces to create separate feeds per ccTLD:

• .UK → https://www.acorndomains.co.uk/forums/sold-domains/
• .DE, .AT, .CH → https://www.consultdomain.de/forums/verkaufte-domains/
• .FR, .CH → https://www.domaineforum.fr/forums/domaines-vendus-rapports-marche/
• .RO → https://www.domainforum.ro/forums/domenii-vandute/
• European ccTLDs → https://www.27.be/forums/sold-domains-reports-belgium-eu/
• .COM only → https://www.nameslot.com/forums/sold-domains/ (NamesLot.com is being reshaped into a .COM-focused forum and marketplace)
• All TLDs → https://www.dnforum.com/forums/reported-sales/

If you'd like to participate or need help structuring your feed, reply here or message me or @Admin directly.

Let’s get your sales in front of the right domain communities across Europe and beyond – and show the world that your marketplace is active and actually sells domains.

@Dynadot your auctions currently are not showing up as your team did change the apis, if I understand this correctly.

Our @Admin is currently migrating the auction feed technology from php to python > once done, he will sort out your feeds. Or, in unlikely case of difficulties (your apis are always good), will DM here and/or send an email to Hallie
