Difference between XML, RSS and ATOM

[Raju Choudhary]

Hello

I'm new to appyet and feeds.

i'm trying to create a news aggregator application but on some sites i'm getting feed url from page source but on some websites there's no feed url available in page source.

Please guide on how can i create or copy links for category wise feeds from any website?

For example, there's website
https://caknowledge.com

in this website there are memu options like CA, CS, CMA, ACCOUNTING.....

and in CA there are subcategories line CPT, IPCC and FINAL


from this now I want to add only
CPT updates in my app.

Here's the link for the category: https://caknowledge.com/topics/ca/cpt/

in this way i want to add different categories from different websites. Guide me how can i get the feed url?
when to use xml and feed?

Hi there,

No, there isn't much difference of the makeup of each individual language. All of them display content for feeds, just in different versions of language. This is a trial and error sort of issue. Some websites are designed or defaulted to provide rss feeds per category, then there are others that do the exact opposite. Sometimes they do display the feed but appyet doesn't find it. I think appyet has outdated version of its reader, not sure.

How I find the default way of getting a feed is by adding /rss or /feed to the end of each address.

For example: https://caknowledge.com/topics/ca/cpt/rss/ >> Automatically Converted too: https://caknowledge.com/topics/ca/cpt/feed/

This can also work for main domains: https://caknowledge.com/feed/

In some cases, you will have to find either generators to scan the website, or manually build an xml feed. I might make that as a future post.
