Introduction


Feefo offers a convenient automated data fetching service, allowing us to access and process your data file regularly. This article provides comprehensive details on how you can set up automated data fetching, the supported protocols, and recommended security measures to ensure a smooth and secure data exchange.




Automated Data Fetching Options


Feefo supports automated data fetching at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. Once we are granted access to the location where your data file is stored, our system will automatically fetch the information according to your chosen schedule. Typically, data fetching occurs around midnight (GMT) on the scheduled day.


Supported Protocols

To accommodate various setups, Feefo supports the following protocols for automated data fetching:


HTTP/HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and its secure counterpart (HTTPS) are widely used for data communication over the internet.


FTP/FTPS/SFTP: File Transfer Protocol (FTP), FTP Secure (FTPS), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) are secure methods for transferring files between a client and a server.


Security Recommendations


To ensure the utmost security during the data exchange process, Feefo recommends implementing the following measures:


IP Whitelisting: Whitelist the following IP addresses to permit access to your data file:

  • 194.73.84.3
  • 35.197.217.47
  • 35.197.212.84
  • 35.189.112.9This step ensures that only trusted IP addresses can access your data.

HTTP Authentication: For added security, use HTTP authentication with a username and password. This way, only authorized users can access the data.
