Get your files via RSS
We’ve just added RSS to filicio.us, so all (public) files can now be downloaded via feeds. Feed URLs look like this:
- http://filicio.us/rss/demo/ (most recent public files published by demo)
- http://filicio.us/rss/demo/podcast (most recent public files published by demo tagged podcast)
- http://filicio.us/torrentrss/demo (most recent public files published by demo, but for BitTorrent applications)
This is the easy way of getting the standard rss feeds. In fact, the feeds has been added as a part of the filicio.us API, which means than any API request with format=rss specified will be returned as RSS. A few examples:
- http://filicio.us/get-files?format=rss&username=demo&password=demo&limit=100&orderby=creation_date&order=desc (Get all the 100 most recent files — private and public — uploaded by demo)
- http://filicio.us/get-files?format=rss&username=demo&mode=search&search=superman (Get a list of demo’s public files where either the filename or the description includes the string “superman”)
(And yes, I realize that it’s time to actually write some API documentation. This thing has grown out of the sparse blog doc.)
