I am having problems using regional weather rss feeds that i have been using for many years, and am not much of a programmer, so i do not understand what i could do to get my feeds up and running again... Could someone please help me?
here is one of the weather feeds that worked for me until 2 days ago:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=3563&u=c
is there something i can add to it to make it work again?
Thanks for any hints
Unfortunately i had the same problem.
It seems that yahoo changed the URL to
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=”+postal+”&u=c
instead of http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=3563&u=c

Im having a problem with youtube rss. a week ago, the rss feed of this "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/M_vDwwo498dNg3FADnV-vQ/newsubscriptionvideos" worked really good. It displays my last suscribers videos. But since 2 days, it says "forbidden". I did not do anything into youtube since 2 weeks in my configuration, so i dont know why it says that. But if i replace, "newsubscriptionvideos" for "uploads" it show my uploads, so i think its a problem on youtube, or i dont know. Someone have an idea?
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/M_vDwwo498dNg3FADnV-vQ/newsubscriptionvideos
gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/M_vDwwo498dNg3FADnV-vQ/uploads
I don't know if this has anything to do with this, but this API is deprecated.
And it looks like new API has no replacement. Here is the issue http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=3946
It's working again !
Try it again

I have a simple question and I could not find a good answer on every search I've made. I wanted to make an app about a company that helps poor people and children with problems. They asked me if I could do an app that would show their latest news and campaigns, and, of course, I said I would do it for free. But I'm kind of a begginer, and I don't know how I should retrieve the news from their website (or twitter) to my app. I've heard of JSON and XML, but I don't know if that would do it. I want an app that would have all the news up-to-date, can anyone please give me some advice and help me? Thanks a lot everyone.
If they have an RSS feed, you could write an app that pulls down the feed, parses it and displays each entry in a table row. You should be able to find plenty of examples on http://github.com to help you.
A client of mine wants to get an RSS feed for a twitter hashtag and include it in a list of other feeds from a variety of other sites.
I've Googled it all morning and I get a mix of answers. Some say it's possible, others say not anymore.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Unfortunately, as of the API v1.1 upgrade on June 11th 2013, twitter now only gives responses in JSON. You can view the official announcement here.
That being said, I think you may need to think broader with your google searching ;)
Within 30 seconds, I found this, and it looks like exactly what you're looking for:
RSS readers cannot subscribe to JSON feeds. twitter-json-to-rss is a set of PHP scripts that you install on your public facing server that allows you to get around this problem.
Heres the library. Note this is entirely untested by myself, so you'll have to check it out.
Basically, you need to send an authenticated request to the twitter 1.1 API, get your data, then convert the returned json to RSS for your client.
If you're using PHP, this is the fastest post to help you get up to speed with requests to the 1.1 API in PHP.
It's not possible anymore. Twitter removed RSS feeds from their data formats and will require you to use their API to achieve that.
Is it possible to get more than 6-9 days old data(tweets) using "https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=" I've tried multiple things mentioned at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search and https://dev.twitter.com/docs/using-search but still not able to get more than 7 days old tweets.
I can see older tweets using the UI (twitter.com) but not through search.twitter.com query string which is my actual requirement.
Is it a known thing ? or am i missing something here? Please help !!
Nope, this is a limitation of the Twitter Search API. You can find it documented here:
You cannot use the Search API to find Tweets older than about a
week.
If you need Tweets older than a week Gnip offers historical Tweets all the way back to the very first Tweet from #jack.

I was reading a thread last year about cms softwares that are used for making social sites... and basically someone said it takes less time to do something with a certain cms and the response was you could make a whole twitter in seconds using so-and-so framework, that doesn't mean its best overall. I surly bookmarked that so-and-so website and were planing to test it. but its not anywhere in my bookmarks and searching in google didn't help. does anyone know what that cms/framework for creating twitter-like websites?
Thanks alot.
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but take a look at http://openmicroblogger.org/.
You can take a look at other possibilities, as told in here: http://socialcmsbuzz.com/ever-wanted-to-start-your-own-twitter-clone-now-you-can-02122008/.
Hope this helps,
