a newbie on RSS feed here. I need to monitor a RSS feed via the email. I have tried the rss2email(http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/). But it seems sometimes doesn't work properly for some reason. I noticed, it didn't send email when there's a new RSS feed. I'm not very familiar with phyton, but I see a pattern when one of the RSS feed doesn't have a link, it seems got confused.
I'm wondering do you guys know any good free tools to convert the RSS feed into a email or what is the simplest way to do it? The RSS feed i need to monitor is RSS 2.0.
Thanks.
Looking for scipts, you have
feeds2imap
newspipe (Python)
rss2mail (Python)
Otherwise, web services like the follwing are doing a pretty googd job
- MailChimp (RSS campaigns, free until 2000 subscribers)
- Zapier
- IFTTT

I've found a few really old answers that do not work. I am building a website for my church. What I want to do is have a feed that shows events from Facebook, that way when the lady that does our social media adds an event it will automatically post them to our website. This will keep the website easy to maintain. Besides paying for a plugin, what is the best way to go about this?
Yes, I know you can embed events. But I am trying to keep it as easy as possible for people at my church who are not really techie or know how to design websites. Please help.
I am using squarespace and the website is ccodtruth.org
I am searching a solution to retrieve news from google news.
I am already retrieving the news from the RSS feed. But this is not scalable, and I will get blacklisted.
I wanted to use Google CSE API (with billing option, I want to be able to send more than 100 000 queries per month), but it seems not to be possible to use it directly with google news. (it seems to be only working with google image, or global web search)
I have already read about Bing Search API, and Yahoo Boss API. I want to know if there is a way with google news. I have already tried to set the site only to google news, but I am getting old news article clippings.
I have already read this discussion(but there is no answer) and this discussion had no new solution for me.
Is there a billable way of doing high volume query directly to google news ?
Thank you
We (Google) currently don't offer programatic access to Google News, and unfortunately I'm not aware of any plans to change that.
You can still use RSS though for free, just watch out for the number of requests you send our way.
Currently I've set up an internal SharePoint (2010) to create an RSS feed for various updates/announcements for our department.
As the section of our system that has the official updates/announcements does not allow RSS feeds, we are currently manually updating the SharePoint every morning.
One of the feedback suggestions I've received is a that, for the official ones, when you click on the RSS feed title, have it redirect to the official section, rather than SharePoint.
Just wondering if this is possible? Not looking for a solution to be completely provided, but a push in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm building a site for a non-profit festival where we'd like to have a 'media' page which brings in photos from instagram (hashtag search), updates and photos from Facebook (via festival's albums) twitter posts (by user and hashtag).
I've tried the JS widgets for Facebook and Twitter but wondered about using PHP/Codeigniter to pull the feeds and caching them somehow for better performance and more control over the look.
Would it be best to then store the feed data in a json file on the server or in a MySQL record?
I'm leaning toward a table with a record for each feed that would basically just store the feed URL, JSON, last updated time and an identifier of some sort.
Then I could write a class with the following type of methods:
get_feed($id='facebook_updates', $expiry_time=3600);
Does this seem like a reasonable way to go? or is there a better solution already existing?
I'm not quite sure how I'd work that in with the feeds that need Auth (twitter & Instagram)
bro!
First, it does seem a reasonable way to do it and I don't know any better.
But, if I had to accomplish that, I would break my problem in two:
A server side code to grab the info from the services (that I would
probably store as json so that I could use the info returned
directly) running with cronjobs from time to time.
A client side (server would work too) one to show that info with
customized style.
To work with the feeds that need auth, you'll have to create an app in each of them, authorize it to access your personal account and use it in the code. Never worked with Instagram but the others have good documentation on how to do that.
Finally, with some modification, you may be able to use this wonderful too to help you accomplish your task: http://plugins.in1.com/socialist
I'm looking for away to allow users of my app to chat with each other. Doesn't have to be almost realtime chat say like on an instant messenger. Also i don't want a forum where people write long posts and have topics.
So maybe a chat wall would be an accurate description.
Users would not be authenticated or anything.
Only 1 chat wall, no private messaging or any other functionality besides writing to the wall.
I have available to me a pretty basic hosting server where I can throw up some files, it has MySQL DB and php available to me. I dnt know Php, but is there maybe something that php could do to inject messages into the database and maybe it could return all the messages that were added to the database in the last say for sake of argument, a week.
Another method could be to setup a Twitter account and then have users posting to the twitter page and then reading back all the tweets and writing them to the chat wall in the app. It would seem this could be the simplest solution.
What do you guys think? Any ideas of how this could be handled?
Thanks

Simplest solution might be to create a simple PHP script that writes to a text or HTML file (Google for examples of that...http://tinyurl.com/6ajjt4r). That file could then be read by your app and either parsed or displayed in a UIWebView.
