Partner feeds (RSS & XML)

Partner distributions typically use the template framework (template.dot + config.sources) and specification oriented toward XML.

Major partners (examples)

Partner Pattern (conceptual) Config area
Yahoo /yahoo/{category}.xml src/apis/foxnews/rss/yahoo/
MSN /msn/{category}.xml rss/msn/
Google (newsletter / publisher) /google/..., /google-publisher/... rss/google/, rss/google-publisher/
Flipboard /flipboard/{category}.xml rss/flipboard/
Twitter /twitter/{category}.xml rss/twitter/
Snapchat /snapchat.xml rss/snapchat/
NewsBreak /newsbreak.xml rss/newsbreak/

Other feeds

Out-of-home (OOH)

Providers such as reachtv, cleartv, wovenmedia, moodmedia, gstv use structured /rss/{provider}/... patterns for summary, full content, articles, and videos.

Implementation checklist

  1. Validate required XML namespaces and enclosure tags with partner docs.
  2. Cache policy — partners poll aggressively; align caching with editorial freshness.
  3. 404 vs empty feed — partners differ on whether empty should be 200 with no items vs 404.
