I need to parse an RSS feed and display the parsed details in an HTML page.

Solution I Found

How to parse an RSS feed using JavaScript? is a very similar question and I followed it.

Using above question, I build the following code.

 <script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    //feed to parse
    var feed = "https://feeds.feedburner.com/raymondcamdensblog?format=xml";

    $.ajax(feed, {
        accepts:{
            xml:"application/rss+xml"
        },
        dataType:"xml",
        success:function(data) {
            //Credit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10943544/how-to-parse-an-rss-feed-using-javascript

            $(data).find("item").each(function () { // or "item" or whatever suits your feed
                var el = $(this);
                document.write("------------------------");
                document.write("title      : " + el.find("title").text());
                document.write("link       : " + el.find("link").text());
                document.write("description: " + el.find("description").text());
            });


        }   
    });

});
</script>

The Error

Failed to load https://feeds.feedburner.com/raymondcamdensblog?format=xml: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.

What I need

How can I change my code to read RSS feeds using JavaScript without getting above error?

Answer 1

You could use something like https://rss2json.com. It parses the feed to json for javascript:

var feedURL = "https://feeds.feedburner.com/raymondcamdensblog?format=xml";
$.ajax({
  type: 'GET',
  url: "https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=" + feedURL,
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(result) {
    console.log(result);
  }
});
