I wondered if anyone can give an example of a professional use of RSS/Atom feeds in a company product. Does anyone use feeds for other things than updating news? For example, did you create a product that gives results as RSS/Atom feeds? Like price listings or current inventory, or maybe dates of training lessons? Or am I thinking in a...
I want to merge multiple rss feeds into a single feed, removing any duplicates. Specifically, I'm interested in merging the feeds for the tags I'm interested in. [A quick search turned up some promising links, which I don't have time to visit at the moment] Broadly speaking, the ideal would be a reader that would list all the availa...
I was browsing this thread, which has good recommendation but a bit too general for me. So, if anyone has a collection of nice game programming feeds,please share them. :) (both general and specific topics are welcome) ...
I get a URL from a user. I need to know: a) is the URL a valid RSS feed? b) if not is there a valid feed associated with that URL using PHP/Javascript or something similar (Ex. http://techcrunch.com fails a), but b) would return their RSS feed) Edit: See my answer below ...
What Java library would you say is the best for consuming and parsing feeds? Requirements: Embeddable Supports Atom & RSS Has caching architecture Should be able to deal with any feed format the same way (Please: one suggestion per answer.) ...
We use RSS.Net (old and not maintained, but there's a more recent fork) to parse RSS feeds. We wrote a similar library to parse Atom feeds and managed to extract a common interface from both, this way we don't really care what sort of feed it is. Is there something like that already "out there"? ...
This could be weird, Have you ever come across a blog which you wanted to read in the chronological order? And that blog could be old, with several hundred posts. When i add this feed to my feed reader, say googlereader, the latest feed comes on top and as i scroll down further, the older posts appear. This could be frustrating if you wa...
Which is best? I always produce ATOM feeds, as they seem more comprehensive, but I'm not sure which is technically better. ...
I am working on a project that requires reliable access to historic feed entries not necessarily available in the current feed of the website. I have found several ways to access such data, but none of them give me all the characteristics I need. Look at this as a brainstorm. I will tell you how much I have found and you can contribute ...
Because I run a blog aggregator website which checks a large list of RSS feeds for new posts every hour so I will be happy if its possible to use google feed api or Google AJAX Feed API instead of making the cron jobs to read the whole feed to know if its updated or not. like this link text ...
I'm creating several RSS feeds from a database to publish things like job openings, volunteer opportunities, and links in general. My question is, how many items should be returned in the feed so that it is most likely that someone will get all the items in their reader without any gaps? SELECT TOP 100 ? (obviously would need to be set...
Is there any way to read a collection of extension elements with Universal Feed Parser? This is just a short snippet from Kuler RSS feed: <channel> <item> <!-- snip: regular RSS elements --> <kuler:themeItem> <kuler:themeID>123456</kuler:themeID> <!-- snip --> <kuler:themeSwatches> <kuler:swatch> ...
Do developers have to put certain/extra elements in the feed's XML file or attributes in the hyperlink for the browser to recognize that it's a feed that can be subscribed to? Or do browsers do that automatically as long as the XML validates? (showing users that "Subscribe to this feed using..." interface in Firefox or "You are viewing ...
I would like to serve a different content from a single URL depending on whether the user is a browser or a RSS reader (hence avoiding an example.com/feed URL). Thus www.example.com/posts will return an (X)HTML page to a browser and an RSS feed to a feed reader. What the architecturally most appropriate way of accomplishing this? PS Ho...
To all of you information addicts out there - I was wondering how much information can you take. At the moment I have 104 active subscriptions on my google reader, mostly development stuff, and I can barely keep up. I do not really read all the stuff that gets posted - I scan with my eyes and if my fast forward algorithm gets some keywo...
I'm working on an application that allows users to add their own RSS feeds to a simple reader of sorts. Currently, I'm using xml_domit_rss as the parser but I'm unsure if it's actually validating the URL before parsing. From what I can gather online, it looks as if validating is separate from the parse, either by using a service (feedval...
Hi, I didn't realize until today that you can't get an RSS feed for a stock quote. Can someone suggest to me ways I can pull data from a service for a particular stock quote? It should include information about the stock etc. Thanks. I will be working in .NET. ...
I'm trying to get a list of unanswered questions from the feed but am having trouble reading it. const string RECENT_QUESTIONS = "http://stackoverflow.com/feeds"; XmlTextReader reader; XmlDocument doc; // Load the feed in reader = new XmlTextReader(RECENT_QUESTIONS); //reader.MoveToContent(); // Add the feed to the document doc = new...
I am creating a Yahoo! Pipe to a news site but the feedless source doesn't have a date/time for each item. My RSS doesn't works very well: each update makes the RSS Reader, Google Reader for instance, to mark all readed items as unreaded again. Perhaps that's because of the lack of pubDate tag or incorrect guid tag. 1) How to create a "...
Hello, I need a PHP library/script that can retreive data from feeds, no matter if they are RSS or ATOM, because I want users to insert random feeds which will then be stored in a database. It would also be great if it could check whether a given URL is a feed or not. If anything exists that could help me out, could anyone tell me? Tha...
