Laravel Facebook Feed

A simple package to easily create an XML feed for the Facebook Catalog API to parse and retrieve your products.

We recommend adding this to an API controller and generating it on the fly so your feed is always up to date.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• Laravel 10, 11, or 12

Installation

composer require wearepixel/laravel-facebook-feed

Usage

use Wearepixel\LaravelFacebookFeed\LaravelFacebookFeed;

$feed = LaravelFacebookFeed::init(
    title: 'My Store',
    description: 'My store product feed',
    link: 'https://mystore.com',
);

$feed->addItem([
    'id'         => 'item_001',
    'title'      => 'Blue Nikes',
    'link'       => 'https://mystore.com/products/blue-nikes',
    'price'      => '29.99 AUD',
    'image_link' => 'https://mystore.com/images/blue-nikes-001.jpg',
]);

return $feed->generate();

Required item fields

Any additional fields supported by the Facebook Product Feed Specification can be passed alongside the required fields.
