# Setting up an Idealo feed

Idealo is a German price comparison service launched in Germany in 2000, and they allow users to compare prices on a range of products from hundreds of shops.

Follow these steps to set up your Idealo feed:

1. Navigate to **\[Your project] >** **Channels**.
2. Click **+Create channel**.
3. Search for "Idealo" and 'Idealo'.
4. Next, fill in your **Feed name**
5. Select your **Target country** from the dropdown.
6. Select the **Type of market**, which is the specific category or sector of the retail market for your products.
7. Click on **Advanced settings** to edit more settings for your feed.
8. Once you have completed your feed settings, click **Continue**.&#x20;

9. Categorization is not required for this channel, and can be skipped. The reason is that Idealo wants the categories from your store.
10. Create [different **Rules**](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/rules-in-channable.md) to optimize your product data.&#x20;
11. Link the right fields in the [**Mapping** step](/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** For a description of the channel fields, hover over the gray question mark icons with your cursor. Make sure to at least fill in all the mandatory fields, which are blue.
{% endhint %}

12. Check your feed in the [**Quality**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011029159) and [**Preview**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011030759-How-do-I-preview-a-feed-) steps. If there are any errors for mandatory fields, solve these first by optimizing your product data with rules and/or connecting the right fields in the **Mapping**step. Repeat if needed.

When your Idealo feed is all setup, activate the feed in the **Preview** tab of the feed and run it. You will now see a URL in the **Preview** step. You can use this URL to upload the feed into your Idealo account.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/idealo/setting-up-an-idealo-feed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
