rawdog 2.12 (Default branch)
Imagerawdog is an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur. It supports most common feed formats, including all versions of RSS and Atom using feedparser. It runs from cron, collects articles from a number of feeds, and generates a static HTML page listing the newest articles in date order. It supports per-feed customizable update times, and uses ETags, Last-Modified, gzip compression, and RFC3229+feed to minimize network bandwidth usage. Its behaviour is highly customisable using plugins written in Python.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
This release can use article GUIDs to update existing articles. The state file can be split into multiple smaller files to reduce memory usage. Writing output files is much faster. rawdog now works with Python 2.6, and some minor bugs were fixed.Image

XML::Feed(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    XML::Feed(3pm)

NAME

       XML::Feed - Syndication feed parser and auto-discovery

SYNOPSIS

	   use XML::Feed;
	   my $feed = XML::Feed->parse(URI->new('http://example.com/atom.xml'))
	       or die XML::Feed->errstr;
	   print $feed->title, "
";
	   for my $entry ($feed->entries) {
	   }

	   ## Find all of the syndication feeds on a given page, using
	   ## auto-discovery.
	   my @feeds = XML::Feed->find_feeds('http://example.com/');

DESCRIPTION

       XML::Feed is a syndication feed parser for both RSS and Atom feeds. It also implements feed auto-discovery for finding feeds, given a URI.

       XML::Feed supports the following syndication feed formats:

       o   RSS 0.91

       o   RSS 1.0

       o   RSS 2.0

       o   Atom

       The goal of XML::Feed is to provide a unified API for parsing and using the various syndication formats. The different flavors of RSS and
       Atom handle data in different ways: date handling; summaries and content; escaping and quoting; etc. This module attempts to remove those
       differences by providing a wrapper around the formats and the classes implementing those formats (XML::RSS and XML::Atom::Feed). For
       example, dates are handled differently in each of the above formats. To provide a unified API for date handling, XML::Feed converts all
       date formats transparently into DateTime objects, which it then returns to the caller.

USAGE

   XML::Feed->new($format)
       Creates a new empty XML::Feed object using the format $format.

	   $feed = XML::Feed->new('Atom');
	   $feed = XML::Feed->new('RSS');
	   $feed = XML::Feed->new('RSS', version => '0.91');

   XML::Feed->parse($stream)
   XML::Feed->parse($stream, $format)
       Parses a syndication feed identified by $stream and returns an XML::Feed obhect. $stream can be any one of the following:

       o   Scalar reference

	   A reference to string containing the XML body of the feed.

       o   Filehandle

	   An open filehandle from which the feed XML will be read.

       o   File name

	   The name of a file containing the feed XML.

       o   URI object

	   A URI from which the feed XML will be retrieved.

       $format allows you to override format guessing.

   XML::Feed->find_feeds($uri)
       Given a URI $uri, use auto-discovery to find all of the feeds linked from that page (using <link> tags).

       Returns a list of feed URIs.

   XML::Feed->identify_format($xml)
       Given the xml of a feed return what format it is in ("Atom", or some version of "RSS").

   $feed->convert($format)
       Converts the XML::Feed object into the $format format, and returns the new object.

   $feed->splice($other_feed)
       Splices in all of the entries from the feed $other_feed into $feed, skipping posts that are already in $feed.

   $feed->format
       Returns the format of the feed ("Atom", or some version of "RSS").

   $feed->title([ $title ])
       The title of the feed/channel.

   $feed->base([ $base ])
       The url base of the feed/channel.

   $feed->link([ $uri ])
       The permalink of the feed/channel.

   $feed->tagline([ $tagline ])
       The description or tagline of the feed/channel.

   $feed->description([ $description ])
       Alias for $feed->tagline.

   $feed->author([ $author ])
       The author of the feed/channel.

   $feed->language([ $language ])
       The language of the feed.

   $feed->copyright([ $copyright ])
       The copyright notice of the feed.

   $feed->modified([ $modified ])
       A DateTime object representing the last-modified date of the feed.

       If present, $modified should be a DateTime object.

   $feed->generator([ $generator ])
       The generator of the feed.

   $feed->self_link ([ $uri ])
       The Atom Self-link of the feed:

       <http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/warning/MissingAtomSelfLink.html>

       A string.

   $feed->entries
       A list of the entries/items in the feed. Returns an array containing XML::Feed::Entry objects.

   $feed->items
       A synonym (alias) for <$feed->entries>.

   $feed->add_entry($entry)
       Adds an entry to the feed. $entry should be an XML::Feed::Entry object in the correct format for the feed.

   $feed->as_xml
       Returns an XML representation of the feed, in the format determined by the current format of the $feed object.

PACKAGE VARIABLES

       $XML::Feed::Format::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER
	   If you want to use another RSS parser class than XML::RSS (default), you can change the class by setting $PREFERRED_PARSER variable in
	   the XML::Feed::Format::RSS package.

	       $XML::Feed::Format::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER = "XML::RSS::LibXML";

	   Note: this will only work for parsing feeds, not creating feeds.

	   Note: Only "XML::RSS::LibXML" version 0.3004 is known to work at the moment.

       $XML::Feed::MULTIPLE_ENCLOSURES
	   Although the RSS specification states that there can be at most one enclosure per item some feeds break this rule.

	   If this variable is set then "XML::Feed" captures all of them and makes them available as a list.

	   Otherwise it returns the last enclosure parsed.

	   Note: "XML::RSS" version 1.44 is needed for this to work.

VALID FEEDS

       For reference, this cgi script will create valid, albeit nonsensical feeds (according to "http://feedvalidator.org" anyway) for Atom 1.0
       and RSS 0.90, 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0.

	   #!perl -w

	   use strict;
	   use CGI;
	   use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
	   use DateTime;
	   use XML::Feed;

	   my $cgi  = CGI->new;
	   my @args = ( $cgi->param('format') || "Atom" );
	   push @args, ( version => $cgi->param('version') ) if $cgi->param('version');

	   my $feed = XML::Feed->new(@args);
	   $feed->id("http://".time.rand()."/");
	   $feed->title('Test Feed');
	   $feed->link($cgi->url);
	   $feed->self_link($cgi->url( -query => 1, -full => 1, -rewrite => 1) );
	   $feed->modified(DateTime->now);

	   my $entry = XML::Feed::Entry->new();
	   $entry->id("http://".time.rand()."/");
	   $entry->link("http://example.com");
	   $entry->title("Test entry");
	   $entry->summary("Test summary");
	   $entry->content("Foo");
	   $entry->modified(DateTime->now);
	   $entry->author('test@example.com (Testy McTesterson)');
	   $feed->add_entry($entry);

	   my $mime = ("Atom" eq $feed->format) ? "application/atom+xml" : "application/rss+xml";
	   print $cgi->header($mime);
	   print $feed->as_xml;
