POST- GeoEvent Server will issue a POST request.GET- GeoEvent Server will issue a GET request.The default is to use an HTTP/GET request. The HTTP request method to use when GeoEvent Server polls the external server providing the data feed. The default is 10 (one poll request will be made every 10 seconds). The interval (in seconds) an RSS data feed will be polled for data. The base URL of the RSS feed you want to poll for data. This contention between Receive RSS inputs with similar titles is a known limitation.Ī descriptive name for the input connector used for reference in GeoEvent Manager. Every time an input polls for data and receives a response it will likely discover the GeoEvent Definition it had thought it was using has been changed, by the other configured input, and will create a new GeoEvent Definition to accommodate its data polls. GeoEvent Server administrators must not configure multiple Receive RSS inputs whose content is different, but whose title is essentially the same. The name of the GeoEvent Definition is adapted from the title in the feed’s content. The adapter creates and maintains a GeoEvent Definition whose structure is updated to reflect the RSS / Atom feed’s content.You can read more about the use of Last-Modified in response headers in the RFC 7232 HTTP specification. If the response header does not indicate a date/time the content was last updated, GeoEvent Server will assume that data in the response represents new or recently updated data. This capability depends on the RSS / Atom feed correctly incorporating Last-Modified into the header of its response to an HTTP request. The Receive New Data Only property is used to request that a feed return only previously unobserved or newly updated data.The name and value(s) of any specified query parameter depend on what requests are supported by the external RSS / Atom feed’s API.Specifying query parameters as part of an HTTP/GET request can improve performance by narrowing the number of items returned.Query parameters can be specified using the Parameters property to help specify data of interest.An HTTP/GET is typically used to request data a client connection is established each time the connector requests data from the feed.The HTTP Method the connector uses to poll for data depends on the type of requests supported by the RSS / Atom feed.Responses from the RSS / Atom feed are parsed to extract data from individual item records each item is processed as a separate event record.An RSS / Atom feed’s content is generally organized as a collection of items grouped beneath a channel as illustrated above.This input connector pairs the RSS Inbound Adapter and the HTTP Inbound Transport.Use this connector to establish an HTTP client connection to an RSS / Atom feed’s REST endpoint and periodically poll to retrieve data.No official standard for RSS exists, but you can read more about typical implementations from, and ROME, the open source framework ArcGIS GeoEvent Server uses to parse RSS / Atom feeds. 9/10.įeatured image by Brett Jordan on Receive RSS Input Connector can be used to retrieve data from a Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a GeoRSS-Simple, or a GeoRSS GML feed. If you find yourself getting into the endless scrolling trap, I would recommend this tool. You can see this in action below: An example entry in Miniflux from such an RSS feed. Comments link in the feed!Īnother thing that was really important to me was that the feed generator/provider include the comments link in the feed such that my Miniflux feed reader can pick it up. The RSS button in the top right takes into account the current subreddit and the filtering criteria to give you a feed link to subscribe to. Score is more usable in situations where you want to get in early in on the action, but also not get caught up in dozens of new posts. This gets me hot posts in the subreddit r/india that cross 70% of the monthly average top score of the subreddit. Here’s the user interface in action with a “threshold” of 70%. For most, my favorite is threshold, and for some subs, I like score. ?įor filtering, you can pick from: score, threshold, and posts per day. That web access is easy to pass around to friends. It gives you an RSS feed and a pretty pleasant user interface too to browse a subreddit based on a filtering criteria. Given that, I think this tool ticks a lot of boxes, and as a bonus: Tried to give me the content without having to open Reddit.
To be clear, I was looking for a tool that was: I am now able to use Miniflux, my primary tool to pull content in, in an even better way. Self-hosting this fantastic tool by John Warne has been a giant shift in my day-time Reddit usage. While Reddit does provide RSS feeds by default, they’re far less usable than what I am using now. Any reddit usage is consumption all the same.
