So I'm working on a google gadget(really only gadgetizing so I can get a datastore for this) that I want to be embeddable in a google spreadsheet (after this point, I'm going to skip the word google - you can just imagine it's there). I want to use the spreadsheet that I embed the gadget in as a key/value store for the data I enter with...
I have created a GAE app that parses RSS feeds using cElementTree. Testing on my local installation of GAE works fine. When I uploaded this app and tried to test it, I get a SyntaxError. The error is : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/init.py", line 509, in call ...
Hi, I've seen sites like this (http://www.tradename.net/) on the web that seem to be nothing more than a collection of news articles pulled in from different places - all seemingly automated... I would like to know how can I create something like this that: (a) either automatically, one its own pulls data from different news feeds and c...
What's the best way to open a URL feed in codeigniter? I'm assuming I can't put the URL in a file upload input, so should I use a normal text input and then validate that the URL is not malicious? If so, what validation tests should I perform on the user inputted string? Would checking the file extension be enough or can this easily be m...
I need to somehow automatically update/parse a couple of RSS feeds and place them into a MySQL database almost as soon as the feed is updated, or as close as possible. However, I can't work out the best way to do this automatically - I've found tutorials for doing it when a user runs a script - but in this case it all needs to be done in...
Hi, I'm building a system for updating large amounts of data through various CSV feeds. Normally I would just loop though each row in the feed, do a select query to check if the item already exists and insert/update an item depending if it exists or not. I feel this method isn't very scalable and could hammer the server on larger fee...
Just like using the many twitter or facebook widgets out there that pull the feed and display it in a nice widget, I want to create a "widget" that pulls a feed from a wordpress blog that I have, and displays it on a static, non-wordpress page. Before I try getting my hands dirty with jquery, do you know if there is any pre-existing code...
i am looking for a simple implementation of an PHP-based feed parser. it doesn't have to be extremely robust, flexible, or fast. easy setup and use is more important, it's for a student assignment. the goal is to consume feeds, and to wrap entries and their fields into simple HTML structures. ease of use really is the most important issu...
Hey all! My web app needs to access an arbitrary E-Commerce store and determine whether or not it has a product data feed (i.e. a Google Base feed; an RSS/ATOM feed of all products in the store). Also, I need to extract the location of this feed. The best solution I can think of so far is to maintain a comprehensive list of known loca...
I'm trying to build a script to retrieve all feed entries from a given page, but I can get only the most recents. How does Google Reader do it? ...
If you are building an RSS parser, how important is it to build support for RDF? Are any new feeds being published in only RDF? My thinking was that RSS 2.0 (and Atom) have replaced RDF. I actually had not heard of RDF until a client pointed out some feeds that are RDF-only. ...
I would like to create a secure iCalendar Feed with Django. I currently have a feed working using vobject, but it is accesable to the public. Is there a way to secure a iCalendar feed used by iCal, Google Calendar, and Outlook? ...
I am trying to retrieve and use the raw data from RSS feeds. For example, trying to take a Yahoo Live Sports Scores RSS feed and taking the information and storing it in a database or displaying it on my web page for the games at interest. What is the best way to do this? I would prefer to use PHP to do this. Thank you in advance for...
Hello, I'm using the AtomFeedHelper and everything is working fine except for one feed where I need to link each entry to a URL which is not the default polymorphic_url for the record. Per the documentation I've specified an :url option for the entry. This correctly renders a <url> tag in the atom node but the <link rel="alternate" sti...
Is there anyway to create a special feed in Wordpress that is on a delay that I can distribute to some of our content partners? I have found some tutorials on how to delay your feed (http://wpengineer.com/publish-the-feed-later/) but it uses the conditional statement is_feed and I don't want to apply this to all feeds, just one particul...
Hi all, I am going to develop an application which will parse the RSS feeds and display the items in my custom cell.(Cell containing the image, label, description, etc). The most popular way of parsing is using the NSXMLParser. But this is bit of a lengthy way. So is there any other way to do this. Or my question will be, which is the b...
Pipes is being very buggy lately and has stopped saving new pipes these days. Google Mashup Editor and Microsoft Popfly are both discontinued. Are there are any currently running web apps(or atleast libraries that run on appengine) that do something similar ? ...
Back in the days when all the major browsers displayed RSS feeds as ugly XML, we implemented an XSL stylesheet so that, when a user browsed to the feed, it would do the following: Look pretty Explain what RSS was - it wasn't so widespread back then Provide a text box to copy the feed url in order to paste it into a feed reader ... just...
I'm building a database + tool that scours news feeds for a certain term. For example "food poisoning from nuts". I want to scour social media sites, news sites, major news aggregators, etc... for that term. Question 1: What are some of the news aggregator APIs out there? Question 2: How Would you go about coding and receiving only the...
I'm looking for a jQuery solution that will allow me to read an XML feed that requires authentication. I have something that partially works, but I don't know how to pass credentials when calling the XML feed. I know that ideally I shouldn't put credentials in jQuery but they are innocuous in this instance so it's ok. ...
