Service for feed converting (version problem).

Question

Hello there,

I have made an application (for my self) for feeds reading, using SyndicationFeed, and the problem is that it supports just Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0.

I have bunch of feeds which are RSS 0.92 version and so...

So my question is: Is there any service which I can use for converting RSS 0.92 to RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0. Someone told me that I should use feedburner, but I could not find there how to do that. :)

Answer 1

Would something like FeedKiller work for you?

Answer 2

You should be able to do this with Yahoo Pipes. Use a trivial pipe like http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.edit?_id=PicO8ejT3BG6sr1Uy6ky6g , except that your source feeds would be RSS 0.92. Either way, you just pipe everything back out, then use a URL like http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=PicO8ejT3BG6sr1Uy6ky6g&_render=rss&atom_feed_url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fatomfeed (note the render=rss) to serialize it back out to RSS 2 (or Atom if you choose).

EDIT: Actually, it looks like FeedBurner can convert to Atom just fine. Go to http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/myfeeds , login, and you should see a box that says "Burn a feed right this instant". Enter the RSS .92 URL, then you'll have to choose a FeedBurner code, such as foo/bar. Finally, you can use Atom urls like http://feeds2.feedburner.com/foo/bar?format=xml . I have not figured out how to use FeedBurner to convert to RSS 2.
