Validation is done to test that your ONIX feed is parsable and adheres to the strict ONIX specifications. This is the first step in making sure the ONIX your system produces is valid. This step does not test Beat’s interpretation of your ONIX, only that the ONIX is well-formed.
To do this, you can make the following call from the command line:
$ curl -X POST <https://developers.beat.delivery/validators/onix> \\
-d @<name of onix file>
