RSS Feed integration into Qlikview - Help needed

[Anonymous]

Hi All

Can some one tell me how to integrate or view RSS Feeds into qlikview.

Req is users have to add RSS feeds from their site to Qlikview and see the same RSS feeds.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to integrate RSS.

Try this:

1. in Edit Script you will see at the bottom Web Files.

2. Click on it.

3. in Internet File add:

http://feeds.abcnews.com/abcnews/topstories

4. Click Next.

5. Choose XML

6. Choose rss/channel/item

you will see that Qlikview generates script like this:

rss:

LOAD version,

    xmlns:media,

    xmlns:abcnews,

    xmlns:pheedo,

    xmlns:atom,

    [channel/title],

    [channel/image/title] as [image/title],

    [channel/image/url] as [image/url],

    [channel/image/link] as [image/link],

    %Key_rss_48AB09FE9E3B67F7    // Key for this table: rss

FROM [http://feeds.abcnews.com/abcnews/topstories] (XmlSimple, Table is [rss]);

// End of [topstories.com/abcnews/topstories] LOAD statements

from then onwards you can use normal table manipulations.

Kind Regards,

Dion

Thanks a lot Dion. Let me check this.

1) Can you tell me in brief about use of RSS feeds ?

2)  whether END users will be able to add themselves and view themselves using Qlikview or should developer help them ?

I mean automating the task of what user selects the feeds and making themselves to view the same ?
