Hi I am struggling to get a Twitter feed into a web part on Kentico 8.2 that excludes images and has only the last feed visible. I have managed to embed the last feeds with images but this is too large for my page. Any ideas?
You can take advantage of a service like this one:
https://twitrss.me/
It processes your tweets as RSS feed and you can load them using RSS data source web part and render them (or just the first one) using the Basic repeater web part.

I am writing an iOS app for a web site. This site is built using Wordpress. I have the overall UI structure built but I don't know I can connect to the sites server to get the needed data (posts, post titles, etc) to display through the app.
How can I do this?
To start, if the site is configured in the usual way, you can add ?feed=rss2 to the URL of your WordPress-driven site to request an RSS2 feed.
Basically, you're going to NSURLConnection and the URL Loading System to fetch the RSS feed, and then parse it. You can then use NSXMLParser to read the feed, and turn it into data collections and/or model objects to hold the data. Your UI can then load and display that data as you like.
I want to create native iOS app, which must display static content of some website (for example, news website). I just need to display news categories, articles' text and images in my native iOS app.
How is it better to get content of website? What is the usual way to do that?
Ask website's developers for website's api? Or using some iOS SDK tools to get web content?
Thanks for help!
Asking the webmaster for the API is the best and easiest way, if they provide.
You can get the specific content you need via crawling script
written by Python. Run the python script on your own server to fetch
the articles under news category over and over, analyze the content
and extract the useful part, finally provide your own API for your native iOS app. This costs more.
Straightway, create NSURLRequest to load the webpage content, and do
the analysis task on the client instead. This affects the user experience.
You can use an UIWebView to load websites.
If the developer provides you a website API with XML or JSON you can create a UITableView with the news titles and a UIViewController to load the news details, but I don't think any developer would do it for you.
so basically I'm trying to display the latest tweets from 5-10 different sources/twitter accounts in a new application I'm trying to make.
Similarly the way tweetro/metrotwit retrieve and display tweets in the application. But on a much smaller scale.
Any ideas on how this could be done?
Would be much appreciated.

Simply use the Twitter API to send a Web Service Request accessing those specific tweets in a data friendly format like XML or text. Then simply bind that data to a ListView or whatever pleases you.
I'm developing a news feed app for ios, and I'm using Feedzilla news API. I have the news feed api correctly implemented, but Feedzilla only returns the news summary and other meta data, but not any images for the news article. So now I have to figure out a different way to get the news article images to display in my app. Does anyone know of either:
A different newsfeed service that will give news article images
A way to fetch news article images with feedzilla or
A way to fetch image thumbnails from a web page
Thanks.
Are you getting url of the article/news as metadata after parsing the feed?
If yes.
Now using this URL you can read whole content of the news page and using any DOM parser you can read image url as well.
Does anyone know where to find the RSS feeds in the new twitter? I cannot find the rss icon and the source of the page just points to "Your Twitter Favorites" even though I am on the page of the user I want to get an RSS feed from...
Simple I know, but its bugging me to no end!
2014 edit:
It looks like Twitter has retired RSS feeds, and now only exports data as JSON:
What output formats will API v1.1 support?
API v1.1 will support JSON only. We’ve been hinting at this for some
time now, first dropping XML support on the Streaming API and more
recently on the trends API. XML, Atom, and RSS are infrequently used
today, and we’ve chosen to throw our support behind the JSON format
shared across the platform. Consequently, we’ve decided to discontinue
support for these other formats. For historical context, when we
originally built the API all major languages did not have performant,
well vetted libraries supporting JSON - today they do.
Orignal 2010 answer:
Here are the various feed URLs (using the account "Twitter" for these examples):
http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/Twitter.rss
http://twitter.com/favorites/Twitter.rss
http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=Twitter
The new Twitter layout isn't very RSS-friendly, unfortunately.
You won't be able to find it because Twitter stopped support for RSS :(
Something I needed, so built a Twitter to RSS converter, it works on hashtags, searches and lists. I've now opened it up totally free for anyone else who needs a solution.
Get it here - Twitter RSS Feed Generator
Recommende you to use the free website ahejlsberg, put the id into the textbox next to #, then click the "Fetch RSS" button.
You can get the RSS feed url: https://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=ahejlsberg.
I found that this works for particular users (I had been trying to figure out their ids which was the way rss used to work but this works fine):
[Updated]
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=johnpiper
[Updated Sept 2014]
no longer works again...
[Alternative Solution: May 2015]
I have since discovered http://www.queryfeed.net
http://www.queryfeed.net/twitter?q=from%3Ajohnpiper
See the home page for further documentation about how to structure other queries. The service does not seem to return all tweets.
