4. Under the Source Template drop-down on the left side: select ‘RSS Source Template’ and click ‘Select’
5. Under the New Source template on the right side:
Enter a Title (i.e. NY Times Front Page) and Description (i.e. NY Times RSS)
Select a Community for your source (i.e. General News)
- Select ‘Save Source’
6. When saved, the source template reloads with:
Unique ‘Share ID’ for your source
- Title, Description, and Community ID entered in Step 5 are added to the corresponding fields in the JSON
7. Enter tags directly into the field provided by the GUI.
Note: No comma after the last tag, see below
i.e. "tags": ["NY Times", “Front Page”, “RSS”],
TODO: determine how to get "New York Times" added as a tag
8. Replace the template URL in the "url": field with the .rss or .xml URL for the desired RSS feed, followed by a comma after the quotation
Once you have correctly configured the URL, you can test the source
To test the source
- Click on Test Source
If the source has been correctly configured Infinit.e will return newly generated documents in a pop-up window.
