# Category feed specification

> Specification for the category feed sent to Depict.

We support feeds as JSON, CSV or XML. The feed should be refreshed at least every hour — otherwise it will take too much time for your product updates to take effect on your site.

<Note>
  **One feed per market.** If your site has multiple markets, you need to provide a product feed for each of them. Each feed should then contain the correct URLs and translations for that market.
