If you have issues please use the Feedzirra group
Finds RSS and Atom feed urls in html like a hog finds truffles. Tasty, delicious feeds… er, truffles.
This is a simple library. It doesn’t GET the html for you. It doesn’t use an HTML or XML parser. It just uses a little regex to find feed urls. If you want to GET the web pages, use Typhoeus. If you want to fetch and parse the feeds use Feedzirra.
gem install truffle-hog --source http://gemcutter.org
require 'rubygems' require 'truffle-hog' # get atom and rss feed_urls = TruffleHog.parse_feed_urls(some_html) # get atom if available, otherwise rss feed_urls = TruffleHog.parse_feed_urls(some_html, :atom) # get rss if available, otherwise atom feed_urls = TruffleHog.parse_feed_urls(some_html, :rss)
I may want to make a fun Nokogiri backed version and test speed and stuff. This thing hasn’t been benchmarked yet.
