%iKnow.Source.RSS.Lister

deprecated class %iKnow.Source.RSS.Lister extends %iKnow.Source.Lister

This is a very simple Lister implementation to retrieve RSS data. The Lister will read feeds through a HTTP request and store the set of items retrieved as separate Sources.

Lister Parameters to be supplied to AddListToBatch() and ProcessList() calls:

  1. server As %String - The server address to access. fe: "feeds.bbci.co.uk"
  2. URL As %String - The URL path (appended to the server name) leading to the RSS XML, fe: "/news/world/rss.xml"
  3. standard As %String - The RSS standard used to interpret the RSS XML, fe: "Atom2.0"
  4. checkExists As %Boolean - Whether or not to check whether an RSS item already exists before attempting to store it (skipping if it exists), default 1
  5. textElements As %String - A comma-separated list of RSS item elements to include as the text contents to index for this source. Defaults to "description". (For compatibility with the old "includeTitle" parameter, values 0 and 1 are translated to "description" and "title,description" respectively.

External ID structure: [GroupName]:::[LocalRef]

Extracted metadata: these metadata fields will be populated with corresponding values for each RSS item, where present.
