Introduction

Overview

Ad Stream is a push based interface that provides information about new and updated listings on the mobile.de platform.

It eliminates the need to actively poll the rest interface in order to get the newest listings. As soon as a listing is created and it becomes visible on the platform the Ad Stream interface will send the notification to the connected clients.

The Ad Stream is an interface to allow the users getting information about the latest listings. It also could be used for synchronizing a copy of the mobile.de inventory as it publishes events when listings are changed or deleted.

The interface uses the Web Socket protocol to send the events.

Endpoint and test environment

How to access the api.

Websocket endpoint url

The API is available at this url:

wss://services.mobile.de/ad-stream/events

Please contact the Customer Support and refer to the Authentication and Authorization section in order to get access to the service.

Test Environment

Test environment is only available for API Users that are having an active live account.

The test endpoint is available at

wss://services.mobile.de/test-ad-stream/events

It provides the same functionality as the live endpoint except the following:

  • the Delay is 60 seconds longer

  • it sends only 10% of all events

High Level Concepts

API User

An API user is an entity that has an API account and uses that account to connect to the interface. Please contact the Customer Support in order to set up the account and get the login credentials.

Ad

The ad represents a vehicle for sale that is published on the mobile.de platform. It consists among the others of:

  • vehicle details

  • price

  • images

Seller

The seller represents information about the owner of the vehicle. It consists among the others of:

  • seller name

  • address

  • contact details

Ad Stream Event

Ad Stream event is a message published to the connected users. Events are triggered when a new listing is created, updated or deleted on the mobile.de platform. The event payload contains full details about the relevant Ad and Seller.

Delay

The events are delivered to the client after a predefined delay. The actual delay depends on the contract. Please contact the Customer Support for more details.

Technical Overview

This section contains information how to use the Ad Stream from a technical perspective.

Web Socket

The interface uses the Web Socket protocol to send the events. Please refer to the following documents for more details

Once the connection is established the server starts publishing the events to the client. The connection is a long running communication channel and it could remain active for many days. Sometimes the connection gets terminated e.g. due to network problems or a new version of software installed on the mobile.de site. The client must ensure that it has a mechanism to automatically establish a new connection in that case. Please refer to the Ensuring Consistency section to find out how to make sure that no messages are lost during the reconnecting process.

Authentication and Authorization

Access to the interface is only possible for the authenticated users. The user must be authenticated with a username and password using the HTTP basic authentication scheme. For detailed information on HTTP basic authentication please refer to:

During the activation process the Customer Support will set up an API User and provide you with instructions how to get the access credentials.

Filters

The amount of events can be limited by a predefined filter (only vehicles from private sellers). Please contact the Customer Support for filters activation and more details.

Multiple connections

The Adstream application is limited to one connection per user. Once the user tries to establish more concurrent connections the previous connections will be closed automatically. Because of the latency after reconnecting and closing connections, there is no advantage in terms of reliability or consistency.

Ensuring Consistency

The interface provides a mechanism to ensure that all events are delivered to a given user even though the user connection is not active for a while. When a connection is established, first the historical events are delivered starting at the point when the previous connection was terminated. The historical events are kept for 24 hours.

The consistency option is not enabled by default. In order to activate it please include the catchup=true query parameter in the url.

wss://services.mobile.de/ad-stream/events?catchup=true

Please use the catchup=true option consistently across all active connections. Mixing the consistency option with regular connections at the same time will cause some unpredicted behavior of the interface.

Media Types

The events can be requested in different data formats.

Detailed description of data structures for individual data formats is available in the Data Format section.

The Ad Stream client indicates the preferred data representation using the Accept header with the corresponding media type.

Media type Http header

json

Accept: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json

xml

Accept: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+xml

In case you do not use an Accept header you will retrieve the data in a third deprecated xml format, which is defiend in https://services.mobile.de/schema/search-1.0.xsd schema. This data format exists for backward compatibility and will be removed in near future. Detailed information can be found at the Deprecated Data Format section.

Data Format

The Ad Stream is representing data using either json or xml format. Both representations (media types) use the same schema in terms of field names and types. The Field names and types are described in Data Format Reference.

Data Format Reference

This section describes various aspects of the data provided by the service.

Data Types Reference

This section contains a detailed definition of the data produced by the Ad Stream application. The data consists of a number of fields and each field is of certain type. A type could be a simple value such as String or Int or a complex type that groups logically other fields.

For Example

The data fragment below contains fields of types String, Int, Boolean and Price

{
  "type": "AD_CREATE_OR_UPDATE",
  "mobileAdId": "474944",
  "ad": {
    "make": "AUDI", (1)
    "cubicCapacity": 665, (2)
    "fullServiceHistory": true, (3)
    "price": { (4)
      "consumerPriceGross": "2000.00",
      "type": "FIXED",
      "currency": "EUR"
    }
    ...
  }
  ...
} (5)
1 The make field is of type String
2 The cubicCapacity field is of type Int
3 The fullServiceHistory field is of type Boolean
4 The price field is of type Price which logically groups some other fields
5 The top level type for event data is Event - it specifies that e.g. type and ad are valid field names on this level

The below sections contain explanation of all the fields and how they are grouped together into types.

Ad
