Using Google Reader to parse feeds. [No longer works]

[NoOnesThere]

Unfortunately this no longer works, since google reader now loads the entire feed in javascript.

Still works perfectly fine for me. This approach does not use the Google Reader "interface" at all, but rather a standard feed associated with the reader, and is not impacted by changes to the interface.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
URL=http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml
GET=.*(?(?=.*<div class="item">).*<div class="item">.*<a href="(.*)">(.*)</a>.*<div class="item-info">.* on (.*)</div>)

[MeasureFeed]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=http://www.google.co.uk/reader/view/feed/#URL#?n=8
RegExp="(?siU)<h1>(.*)</h1>#GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET#"
UpdateRate=1500

[MeasureTwo]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureFeed]
StringIndex=2

[MeasureThree]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureFeed]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=3

[MeasureFour]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureFeed]
StringIndex=4

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
FontColor=255,255,255,255
MeasureName=MeasureTwo
MeasureName2=MeasureThree
MeasureName3=MeasureFour
Text=%1#CRLF#%2#CRLF#%3

Or, if you would rather have the feed in US instead of UK format:

Code: Select all

[MeasureFeed]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/#URL#?n=8
RegExp="(?siU)<h1>(.*)</h1>#GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET##GET#"
UpdateRate=1500

Interesting, so thinking back on it that's what used to happen for my feed too. But now I get directed to the reader interface for my feed, but not for the BBC feed. The difference, I suspect, is that my feed is itself a feed from a separate google reader.

For privacy reasons I don't really want to post the feed I'm using, but it's just a public feed from a google reader user (basically used to conglomerate a bunch of feeds into one). This doesn't work because as mentioned before the page is the typical google reader page which uses all javascript.

For now this is just a caveat I suppose, but I have to wonder if other feeds won't start moving into the google reader interface as well.

Edit: Also interesting is that my feed works using google.co.uk, but not google.com. We'll see how long that lasts.

If you pass the feed you're using through FeedBurner it should turn it into a regular 'ol rss.

how to encode a URL by lua?

[XANCI]

Never mind

Code: Select all

function escape (s)
    s = string.gsub(s, "([%W])", function (c)
      return string.format("%%%02X", string.byte(c))
    end)
    s = string.gsub(s, " ", "+")
    return s
end

Is using this to avoid "CodePage" problems when comes to different languages?

Another problem:
Google Reader only display up to 9 items, even if "?n=" is larger than 9
