atom-feed

I have a project that will send an email with certain data to a gmail account. I think that it will probably be easier to read the Atom feed rather than connect through POP. The url that I should be using according to Google is: https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom The question/problem is: how do I authenticate the email account I want to see? If I do it in Firefox, it uses the cookies. I'm also uncertain how exactly to "download" the XML file that this request should return (I believe the proper term is stream). Edit 1: I am using .Net 3.5. This is what I used in Vb.net: objClient

I'm looking for something that will let me parse Atom and RSS in Ruby and Rails. I've looked at the standard RSS library, but is there one library that will auto-detect whatever type of feed it is and parse it for me? Feedzirra is one of the better options: http://www.pauldix.net/2009/02/feedzirra-a-ruby-feed-library-built-for-speed.html Of course, I'm biased since I wrote it. :) Googleage reveals some things. Were they not acceptable? Simple RSS Ruby-Feedparser require 'simple-rss' require 'open-uri' rss = SimpleRSS.parse open('http://slashdot.org/index.rdf') rss.channel.title # => "Slashdot"

I have an application that polls several rss sources on the web. What is the etiquette when polling other's web servers. How frequently to poll, etc? What are the best practices? Maciej Łebkowski Make use of HTTP cache. Send Etag and LastModified headers. Recognize 304 Not modified response. This way you can save a lot of bandwidth. Additionally some scripts recognize the LastModified header and return only partial contents (ie. only the two or three newest items instead of all 30 or so). Don’t poll RSS from services that supports RPC Ping (or other PUSH service, such as PubSubHubbub ). I.e.

This question already has an answer here: How to write an RSS feed with Java? 1 answer I am looking for libraries which can read RSS / ATOM feeds in my J2EE application (based on JBoss Seam). Is Rome the only application there for reading feeds? I am assuming the Seam RSS integration is only for generating RSS feeds and not for reading feeds. Nils Schmidt Have you had a look into the following list? http://java-source.net/open-source/rss-rdf-tools Even though it has been mentioned several times, I would suggest using Rome as well. Rome is a very mature, extremely well java-documented library

Is there any Google Reader API that I can plug in to? I building a clean RSS/Atom reader in PHP and would love to get all the goodies from Google Reader like the history of a feed, able to add comments to each feed item, etc. smilbandit I've built some google reader integration in python but I can share some of the api knowledge so you can get started. output=json is also available for all.
