# Israeli Supermarket Chain Price Feeds

## Overview

Under the Promotion of Competition in the Food and Pharma Sector Law (חוק קידום התחרות בענפי המזון והפארם, 2014, in force since 2015), supermarket AND pharmacy chains with 3 or more stores must publish product prices as machine-readable XML files. The Ministry of Economy's Competition Authority publishes the file spec ("פרסום מחירים, מפרט קבצים"). Files must be UTF-8 encoded.

## Feed Types

Per the government spec, every regulated chain publishes six file types: full snapshots and delta updates for prices, promotions, and stores.

| File Type | Prefix | Content | Update Frequency |
|-----------|--------|---------|-----------------|
| Full price snapshot | `PriceFull` | Complete product catalog with current prices | Daily (overnight, 01:00-05:00 IL time) |
| Price delta | `Price` | Changes between full snapshots | Multiple times per day, on price change |
| Full promo snapshot | `PromoFull` | Active sales, discounts, multi-buy deals | Daily (may lag `PriceFull`) |
| Promo delta | `Promo` | Promotion changes between full snapshots | On promo change |
| Full store list | `StoresFull` | All stores with addresses and operating hours | Weekly or on change |
| Store delta | `Stores` | Store changes (openings, closures, hour updates) | On change |

**File naming format** (per the spec): `<Prefix><ChainId>-<StoreId>-<yyyyMMddHHmm>.xml.gz` where:
- `Prefix` is one of the six above (`PriceFull`, `Price`, `PromoFull`, `Promo`, `StoresFull`, `Stores`)
- `ChainId` is the 13-digit Israeli EAN-style chain identifier (starts with `729...` for Israeli chains)
- `StoreId` is the chain-internal store number (3-4 digits typically)
- `yyyyMMddHHmm` is the file generation timestamp in Israel time (no seconds)

Example: `PriceFull7290027600007-001-202605120300.xml.gz` is Shufersal store 001, generated at 03:00 on 12 May 2026.

## Feed Platforms

Not every chain runs its own server. Most chains publish through one of three cen
