RSS screen scraper

Question

Can anyone point me towards a ready made RSS screen scraper, preferably in Python in order to get full text RSS feeds?

Answer 1

There's a good list of them here, which mentions Feed Parser, which you use like this:

import feedparser

python_wiki_rss_url = "http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/" \
                      "RecentChanges?action=rss_rc"

feed = feedparser.parse( python_wiki_rss_url )

You can then do things like:

for item in feed["items"]:
    print item["title"]

Answer 2

feedparser.org is great
