Live Data Feeds

[BellagioSecurity]

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I need to create a live xml data feed (or one that updates at least every 5 minutes) for a different website. Is there a module available for this? I need to do the feed for handgun / rifle ammunition. Data needed in the feed is product title, url to product, price, caliber, number of rounds for price, and price. Manufacturer, grain weight, and ammo type (fmj, jhp, frangible, etc) are preferred as well.

The website I need my products to be listed on is www.ammoseek.com

Their requirements for the feed can be seen at http://ammoseek.com/xml/

My store link is www.bellagiosecurity.com/shop

Does anyone have any pointers? I'm looking for something that is automated. When I add a product I would put all this information into the product setup and have the data feed pull all the stuff automatically. Basically a set it up and forget about it type of thing. If this isn't possible please advise me on what my next best option is.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick answer thepan. I took a look at those already (and even installed the free one) but I'm still confused on things.

The free one I installed appears that I have to manually input everything...and once I do that I have to go back through and manually add / remove products as my stock changes.

I'm looking for something that will automatically pull all my current stock into an xml and when a product sells out it will be removed from the xml (or marked not in stock) automatically. As well, when a new product is added into my catalog I need it to automatically populate on the xml feed.

BUMP

Are there any other options?

I am wanting to use product features for the variables on the product (caliber, grain size, etc).

I guess what is confusing me the most is how this can either be a live feed, update every 5 minutes, or update at every database and stock change?

I will be needing my feed to be programmed in this fashion. I also need it to be so only in sock items show on the feed....meaning as soon as an item sells out it needs to be removed from the xml automatically.
