Simple example (News)
Start with the "Basic RSS Source Template" from the source builder GUI:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
"communityIds": ["4c927585d591d31d7b37097a"],
"description": "Create a description of your source here.",
"extractType": "Feed",
"harvestBadSource": false,
"isApproved": true,
"isPublic": true,
"mediaType": "Social",
"tags": [
"tag1",
"tag2"
],
"title": "Basic RSS Source Template",
"url": "http://blahblahblah.com/blah.rss"
} |
It is assumed you have obtained an OpenCalais or AlchemyAPI key and configured the Infinit.e properties file. If not do that first.
Then modify the title and description, and select a standard News RSS feed, eg:
Also add the field "useExtractor", and set it to:
- "AlchemyAPI" if you have an AlchemyAPI key
- "OpenCalais" if you have an OpenCalais key
This results in a source that looks something like (with ignored fields deleted):
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
"description": "A test RSS news feed, using OpenCalais",
"extractType": "Feed",
"isPublic": true,
"mediaType": "News",
"tags": [
"news",
"england"
],
"title": "BBC News",
"url": "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=uk",
"useExtractor": "OpenCalais"
} |
