Edit: In RSS form! But only 10 results.
Edit: Fancier RSS, but less results.
I would whip up my own scraper or make something with Amazon Web Services, but I am far too lazy to do that for such a niche need, haha.
On a podcatcher you can use the RSS feed. If you need to you can create an RSS feed from a webpage (if it is a blog it will have an RSS feed already). You can search for RSS feed creators, here is an example: http://createfeed.fivefilters.org.
Hope this helps!
I was able to make a pretty barebones feed that scrapes the "Latest" page:
Insert rant here about the death of RSS.
I posted one solution using Feed Creator earlier today in the Craigslist subreddit. Might help you too.
You can use RSS feed creator tools like: http://FetchRSS.com/ http://CreateFeed.FiveFilters.org/ etc
P.S.: If you have Firefox, there should be an RSS button in the toolbar to find the website's RSS (if there's any) P.P.S: You can see Telegram channels' content like this: http://Telegram.me/s/Telegram
Merge Feeds by FiveFilters works for me: http://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index-mergefeeds.php
An alternative is the channel feature from FeedRinse. Bear in mind that the filtering feature is bugged, it occasionally lets all items through, that's why I stopped using it. Merging (channel feature) works just fine though, if that's all you need.
Facebook's algorithm is problematic. Say you follow some pages but it arbitrarily decides some updates are not important and you end up missing them. So what's the point of following things through Facebook if it wont reliably work?
With classic RSS you have the peace of mind that what you see is actually what is out there, complete, and not (significantly) delayed. Which you can then read (or not) at your own pace.
Another problem is that the algorithm is a revenue generator for Facebook, they want page owners to pay if their want their updates to actually reach their whole like list. This should tell you the intention behind this this feature - it's not a benefit to the end user.
>Or how do you work with too much information in your rss feed?
- Pruning your subscription list.
Every once in a while I do a little cleaning and and unsubscribe from high volume or high noise to signal feeds.
If 90% of the items you scroll past don't interest you it's time to find another source that focuses on the exact niche you want. - Use a dedicated "High Volume" folder.
This way those feeds don't get in the way of reading everything else, you can give them attention only when you have extra free time. Depending on what RSS reader you use it also makes it easier to mark them as read in one click. - Filter feeds based on a topic/keyword.
Inoreader has this feature built in but you can also use external service like Feed Rinse and Five Filters. Wordpress based sites create feeds for each tag and author so you can also use those. Some sites have feeds for keyword searches.
>I know Fivefilters has a similar feature, but the end result isn't great as it doesn't include the title of the articles I'm trying to include and it only allows a maximum of 20 URLs at a time, whereas I'd prefer a lot more.
The feature we offer for creating a static feed in Feed Creator is somewhat limited and really intended for a small set of articles. The static feed will contain only item URLs, which aren't that helpful in most scenarios, but we created it so that the feed could then be expanded with something like our Full-Text RSS tool, which will then include titles and content for each item. Both of these solutions however have limits on the number of items they will process in one go, so they're not suitable for generating static feeds with many items I'm afraid.
Not sure about android, but there are many both online and self-hosted/offline services to generate feeds for every page.
rss-bridge, RSS Guard, this, and many other apps
Our Feed Creator tool can also generate an RSS feed directly from Craigslist search results. For example:
Our Feed Creator tool can generate an RSS feed from Craigslist results. Here's an example:
If you replace the URL in the 'Enter web page URL' field with the URL of your own Craigslist search, it should produce similar results.
Here's what our Feed Creator can produce for the Associated Press:
We have a Feed Creator tool designed for sites which don't offer feeds of their own. If you're familiar with some HTML/CSS, you can generate feeds from all kinds of pages and search results.
Here's an example for the search "road bike" on Craigslist Denver:
Here's the Feed Creator output for the second URL:
Sorry, not sure I completely understand. The link I gave you is with the website you linked:
If the preview looked good for you, then using the 'Subscribe' link or the 'RSS feed' link to subscribe to the feed will mean you get updates when new items are added. But as I mentioned in the my other comment, that depends partly on how frequently your application/feed reader checks for updates. So if it's not clear how frequently your feed reader will update the feed, you should ask the developer of the feed reader about that.
No regex support yet, but our Feed Creator tool allows you to filter an existing feed using keywords: http://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index-mergefeeds.php
Nope, I don't think so. But at least every time you see that junk you'll know that someone made a wiki edit and you can look at the revisions page manually.
You could try badgering the admins for a more human readable feed for revisions.
There are also two other options:
use revision feeds for specific wiki pages you want to give extra attention instead of all revisions in the wiki. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/subname/wiki/revisions/this_specific_page.rss
But that's only partially solves your use case, it doesn't contain the name of the person who made the edits, so you can't filter mods. If you also need that there's a second option:use the moderation log feed - it contains both the name of the editor and the wiki page. With those present you can filter it any way you want.
The Feed channel on ifttt.com only has a "whitelist mode" keyword filter, if you want to just remove some items and keep everything else you can use this tool.
