Dear Support
Kindly assist me with generating a feed for these 2 sites please
Site 1
Site 2
I have tried contacting you via email but the response.
Regards
Welcome @exodus.
I am not staff, just a user. It looks like Fivefilters is very busy at the moment and can’t answering emails (promptly).
Both of your links do have the same target. So I had a look on ghanaweb only.
The problem is that their overview pages are divided into several sections with different layouts, so I couldn’t find any general selectors.
But you can create three or more feeds. However, some articles may then also appear three or more times in the feed **.
1.) lead article
item selector: div#inner-lead-story a
item title: h2
2.) the 4 articles below lead article AND all below ‘Most read’ section, depending how many items you grep.
item selector: a
item title: h3
3.) Most read
item selector: a
item title: p
4.) Latest News (might be the one, where most/all articles occur?)
item selector: ul#load_headlines a
item title: p
** of course, after getting your 3 feed URLs you then can merge them in FCs ‘Filter an Merge’ section which will de-duplicate articles.
Thanks for your feedback. The solution provided does not work for the 2nd domain
Please help. .
item selector: a
item title: h2
But some of the upper articles and some between seem to be missing - and I don’t know why.
The headlines column always goes first.
As ‘Opera News’ AKA dailyadvent.com AKA feednews.com is a news aggregator itself, the overview pages are high volatile, so you won’t see all of the articles with the free FC access (5 articles every 2 hours).
Thank you for looking in to this but it didn’t work for this same domain
Please advice.
@exodus, every website/domain is different. The selectors depend on the html-code used to create the page. Right-click on a headline and choose ‘inspect’, so you can learn which html nodes are surrounding an article preview, the title, the weblink and so on.
Unfortunately that would not help here, because operanewsapp is not sending plain html. The page is rendered on your browser by JavaScript. And FeedCreator can not render JavaScript. So I think, it is not possible to grab a feed from this domain.
Firefox: When in inspection mode, press F1 and choose ‘disable JavaScript’. All content vanishes, so you see, that JavaScript is used to transport content and hides it from bots like FC.
Please assist me the selectors for this domain `Opera News - Entertainment
I have tried using the previous solution provided but it didn’t work so i guess this domain is using different selectors.
Please help.
It is the same as in post-4. But I just found a solution for getting articles from the left column.
1.) headlines (right column):
item selector: a
item title: h2
2.) left column:
item selector: a
item title: h2
