Overwriting Data?

Profile picture for CircleDev
We have a data feed that exports data to Zillow, including a virtual tour link. If a listing already exists on Zillow, will the incoming feed overwrite anything? Will it add the link to an existing listing, or will it just be ignored?

Also, how does Zillow determine a listing already exists when a new one is sent? Is it just the MLS number, or other information (such as address) too?

Got this from Zillow Feeds FAQ

What happens if I change information about a listing in the feed? Will Zillow reflect this change too?

Zillow will display whatever data exists in your feed. So if the price changed or new information is added to a listing, it will be updated on Zillow once the updated feed is received by Zillow.
