To create a source RSS Feed using the JSON template:

1. Navigate to the Infinit.e Manager

 2. Select Source Editor from the menu

 

3. Click the ‘New Source’ button at the top right of the screen 

 

4. Under the Source Template drop-down on the left side: select ‘Basic 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 ‘Shared ID’ for your source

  • Title, Description, and Community ID entered in Step 5 are added to the corresponding fields in the JSON

7.  Enter unique tags by replacing ‘tag 1’ in the quotations, then add any additional tags in quotations followed by a comma

  • Note: No comma after the last tag, see below

  • i.e. "tags": ["NY Times", “Front Page”, “RSS”],

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

 

9.  Two fields must be added to the end of the JSON for text and metadata extractors depending on the content and desired results:

  • For extraction of entities and associations and if sentiment scoring is NOT desired, copy and paste the following :

           "useExtractor":"OpenCalais",

"useTextExtractor": "boilerpipe"

  • For keyword extraction AND sentiment scoring, or for foreign language sources, copy and paste the following:

"useExtractor":"AlchemyAPI-metadata",

           "userTextExtractor":"AlchemyAPI"

10. Next to Test Parameters, change the ‘Number of Documents:’ from ‘10’ to ‘2’, and select ‘Test Source’

11. Depending on your settings, you may need to accept pop-ups in order to receive the success or error message

 
 12.  If the test is successful, select ‘Publish Source’ and select ‘OK’ when success message appears

13.  If the test results in an error, double check all fields and test the RSS URL in a separate window to ensure it is accurate

 

13a.  If a second test results in error, copy and paste error message and send to Ikanow POC

 

13b.  If successful, select ‘Publish Source’ to begin harvesting
