Try this /feed/id
feed is the “parent” (start and stop tag) id is directly under the parent “feed” This array you are getting appears to be VERY simple… just one parent and a ton of “children” You read from the parent to the child element you want. You can see why being able to “pretty up” a more complex flow would be a problem, but the one you’re getting is fairly simple. so to get id /feed/id to get title /feed/title etc Ignore the <?xml line It is helpful if you can get an XML editor that will do “pretty” for you - as this will format things so they are more “readable” for this purpose. Oxygen XML is great because you can just type in what you think is the Xpath and it will cough up the value (if the path is correct). But it’s also expensive… > <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> > <feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' > xmlns:app='http://purl.org/atom/app#'xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' > >
