[backstage] BBC Breaking News RSS feeds query
Hi, I'm doing some work around breaking news and had a few queries about the available feeds. Looking on the backstage site there appears to be a few sources of breaking news feeds : http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/breaking_news/rss.xml http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/breaking_news/rss.xml These feeds don't contain links to a story on the BBC news site, they only link through to news.bbc.co.uk. I had a couple of questions : 1. Are these alerts in any way linked to a news story (i.e. is there a story published at the same time as the alert goes out via RSS ?) If so, could the RSS feed be altered to contain the link to the story ? 2. Does the guid in the feed (e.g. guid isPermaLink=falseurn:news_bbc_co_uk:breaking_news:33400/guid _) have any relationship to a story (so in this example does 33400 map to a story on the site ?) Looking at the RSS entry titles and then the corresponding story on the BBC news site, they seem to be very similar or identical in many cases (I suspect the different ones are where the story has been subsequently updated) so I'm guessing in the worst case scenario I could match the website story title to the alert title to identify a story as 'breaking'. Is there an easy way to identify a particular story as 'breaking news' at the moment ? Thanks, Rob - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
