In Gitlab there is an RSS news feed button for every project.
http://git.domain.name/userName/projectName/commits/master.atom?private_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Is there a way to retrieve a global RSS feed for all projects related to one user?
Or even better, if there is a way to capture all user's feeds across all projects, that would be cool.
thanks
This is currently not supported.
The closest feature request there is would be "Team-/groupwide RSS feeds", to have RSS feeds for all events in a team or a group. (not enough vote for now).
The global "RSS" shown on demo.gitlab.com is actually a html result of the event-items representing the activity in response to http://demo.gitlab.com/?limit=20&offset=0:
That would be for all public projects, but I don't see it exposed as an RSS feed.
The OP mauro reports in the comments
the global "RSS" shown in demo.gitlab.com is also showing on my gitlab dashboard, the only thing is that mine is giving a 500 error instead.

Is there a way to get Google and Bing news searches as RSS?
I'd like to have the most recent at the top of the results (ordered by time) if possible.
And show 100 results if that is possible.
I found this for Google, but it only shows 5 items or so, not that great.
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?output=rss&q=politics
I just want to search their news categories and get results as RSS.
You are right that Google no longer publicly shows RSS feeds for News searches. But there's a basic URL format that should continue to work.
If my search topic is "education", my search URL should look like:
https://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&q=education
Replace:
value of ned (probably stands for 'news edition'), i.e. us with the appropriate country code that's relevant to you. E.g. uk (not gb for UK), in (India), etc.
value of q (probably stands for 'search query'), i.e. education with your search term. Combine multiple words with a plus sign, e.g. education+policy (if your search is for 'Education Policy').
Now the RSS feed button in your browser should've become active because an RSS feed is available for the page. It shows 10 latest news items in the feed, not 5. And the RSS feed URL would look like this:
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=education&output=rss
Conclusion: RSS feeds aren't available for actual searches, i.e. typing in the search box on Google. You'd have to do it like this.
(PS: Credit goes to the question itself. It would not have occurred to me otherwise.)
Try adding
&output=rss
https://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&q=education**&output=rss**
The custom RSS feed is in this format:
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?q={yourquery}&output=rss.
For example, https://news.google.com/news/feeds?q=developer&output=rss returns news about developer.
Your best bet is somthing like Google Alerts feeds. You can type a query select the type of data in there and get it delivered via RSS. Since they support PubSubHubbub for that, you will also get results in realtime.
If you want another dataset feel free to also check Superfeedr's track feeds which will help you get notified in realtime when keywords are matched across any RSS feed.
I think Google disabled the RSS search output in the past few weeks, and I have not found an alternative. The XML output requires a Google paid account. I now have to scrape the HTML for what I want.
Here's the new way to access Google News RSS feeds:
https://news.google.com/news/rss/search/section/q/{yourquery}
I would like to post an article to all of my groups where I am an administrator. Is there a plug in or some code to do this? Until now I have made it so that:
first --->had established a category e.g. groups
The second---> copy RSS feed address from my blog and paste it in RSS 2.0 feed (grafiti) application included.
Naturally this also runs, but then it gets up there via RSS graffiti and not my application, as I usually do on my fan page or profile.
Thanks for all answers
Sorry I am from Germany and place answer easy!
This may be a simple question, but for some reason I don't know this answer. Is it possible to create an RSS feed file that contains contents for an entire year but only publishes the current date and previous date information?
I have a client that wants to do a "this day in history" post. Currently, I am using IFTTT, and created around sixty dated posts for the next two months. Of course, this works -- but it is very labor intensive.
Is it possible to create an RSS feed that you could put all 365 days of data in to, but if someone pulls up the feed it only shows today's item and prior days in the feed?
Or is RSS not the proper technology to do this? The reason I am using RSS is for ease of use, and IFTTT will take those RSS feeds and pump it in to Facebook and Twitter for automatic status updates for my client.
There are various tools that let you define Facebook and Twitter posts in advance, to be published at a specified date and time in the future. Why not use one of those instead of writing your own?
A quick search for "scheduled twitter post" uncovered Later Bro, Twuffer and twAitter but there must be dozens to choose from.
If you're looking for just posting on Facebook and Twitter, and not an RSS feed as well, I'd follow Matthew's suggestion. If you want an RSS feed, there is a feed for each Twitter feed. But if you want actual RSS, you need to add something in between. An RSS feed is just an XML file. it's not a process. I suggest having a file of some type (maybe RSS, or other XML, or a database table, or even a csv file with all the posts and relevant information, including date. Then a small script that runs as a chron job (or IFTTT if it supports date as trigger and running a script as the "then" part) that pulls the day's feed and updates the actual RSS feed. Pretty simple.
Here is what I ended up doing
Using the Drupal backend of my website, I created a content type specifically for these posts.
I created individual articles for each day, and used the schedule module to schedule the publish date to the date I wanted.
I created an RSS feed of these posts through Drupal.
I linked the newly created RSS feed to IFTTT.
Created an IFTTT recipe to post the text from the RSS feed to Facebook/Twitter/etc.
It wasn't the best solution, but it worked. I was really trying to do this without having to rely on a third-party such as IFTTT, but never really figured out a good way to do it.
When creating an RSS reader, you download the XML formatted document pointed to by the RSS feed link, and you can parse it manually or using the functionality in the SyndicationFeed namespace.
So if we take Scott Guthrie's blog as an example, you download the RSS feed document here, and parse it. My problem is that this document only holds 15 items, yet he has been blogging for a number of years.
Is there a standard or established way of getting the older posts not included in the RSS feed document? Or do you have to find the base address for the blog posts and then parse the pages of the site from there to get them? How do you avoid missing posts on high volume blogs?
With RSS/Atom you can't query older articles.
I built a RSS archival service (https://app.pub.center). All of our data is free to use via REST. We charge money for push notifications.
PubCenter daily polls it's catalog of RSS feeds, and caches the articles. Then, you can get these articles back in a chronological order. For example:
Page 1 of The Atlantic https://pub.center/feed/02702624d8a4c825dde21af94e9169773454e0c3/articles?limit=10&page=1
Page 2 of The Atlantic https://pub.center/feed/02702624d8a4c825dde21af94e9169773454e0c3/articles?limit=10&page=2
As the replies to How Do I Fetch All Old Items on an RSS Feed? already mentioned, a feed may not provide archival data but historical items may be available from another source.
Archive.org’s Wayback Machine has an API to access historical content, including RSS feeds (if their bots have downloaded it). I’ve created the web tool Backfeed that uses this API to regenerate a feed containing concatenated historical items. If you'd like to discuss the implementation in detail please get in touch.
How would I get the next page or more results for a feed?
For example, when I go to Security Now feed page, there is no "next" link of any kind and the url parameter of "page=100" does nothing:
http://leoville.tv/podcasts/sn.xml
I get only 1 page of results of about 20 episodes. However my Google Reader can successfully retrieve episodes that are earlier than that.
Indeed it is true that Google Reader caches the items and it is NOT possible to paginate on RSS2, RSS or Atom feeds (unless they have rel=next link, which none of them seem to have).
However, we can leverage the existing Google Reader infrastructure, with some work, to retrieve a list of, say 200 items!
Given the above podcast url we retrieve the latest 200 episodes by:
Using the ...google.ca/reader/atom/feed prefix instead of the usual view/feed as can be seen in your google reader.
Appending n=200 as the query parameter.
So we have:
http://www.google.ca/reader/atom/feed/http://leoville.tv/podcasts/sn.xml?hl=en&n=200
There is a very insightful reverse-engineered google-reader API project located at http://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI
Google reader caches RSS entries. You can't get any more from the actual feed if they don't allow for it.
