SYNOPSIS
use Feed::Find;
my @feeds = Feed::Find->find('http://example.com/');DESCRIPTION
Feed::Find implements feed auto-discovery for finding syndication feeds, given a URI. It (currently) passes all of the auto-discovery tests at http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/autodiscovery/.
Feed::Find will discover the following feed formats:
RSS 0.91
RSS 1.0
RSS 2.0
Atom
USAGE
Feed::Find->find($uri)
Given a URI $uri, use a variety of techniques to find the feeds associated with that page.
Returns a list of feed URIs.
The following techniques are used:
- 1. <link> tag auto-discovery
-
If the page contains any <link> tags in the <head> section, these tags are examined for recognized feed content types. The following content types are treated as feeds: application/x.atom+xml, application/atom+xml, text/xml, application/rss+xml, and application/rdf+xml.
-
If the page does not contain any known <link> tags, the page is then scanned for <a> tags for links to URIs with certain file extensions. The following extensions are treated as feeds: .rss, .xml, and .rdf.
Note that this technique is employed only if the first technique returns no results.
