Missing data from RSS feeds

LMeeee12 on 24/09/2019 - 23:18

I would like to build an app using the rss feeds, but I cannot find the start date or coupon code in the feed information.

This deal is tag as starting tomorrow on the website but I cannot find a start date, only the expiry date and publish date are present:

    We can add those to the <ozb:meta/> tag as attributes.

  • Meeee12 on 25/09/2019 - 09:45

    That would be great, thanks. Targeted and out of stock also need to be added, as well as user tags such as associated, store rep, L and P plates.

    One thing I find confusing about all of this is when I go check out existing apps on the play store they have this information, so where are they getting it from?

    • scotty on 25/09/2019 - 13:29

      Likely from scraping the site?

  • Meeee12 on 25/09/2019 - 16:30

    I really prefer not to screen scrape, if you could add start date and coupon code as well as maybe targeted, out of stock, associated and store rep to <ozb:meta/> I would be very happy.

    Whatever you are willing to add, thanks in advance.

    I have just noticed that the feeds only allow you to grab the first page of results. Looks like I am going to have to screen scrape. :(
