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.

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 developing ios app in appcelerator studios .In that app i need to show thumbnails of remote service videos . I am getting videos data through JSON object. I am getting thumbnails for only one video rest of them also i am getting but those are append to first video of the JSON object.
can any one help me how to show thumbnails for remote located videos ?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I fully get your question, but from your title I take that you want to generate thumbnails for remove videos?
For this you can use the following API:
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Media.VideoPlayer-method-requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes
This does mean that you have to load in every single video (the view itself does not need to be visible to the user) which is quite heavy. So if at all possible it is better to get them from wherever you get the videos from, or use some middleware to generate and cache them there.
I have an app that I am developing in Xcode which retrieves a RSS feed from my site and puts it into a table. Recently, I have created a new homepage with a featured article at the top, and I want to be able to have the image from the articles shown with it. Is there any way I can do this?
I am going to assume that in the RSS Feed there is a key called image or similar which its value will be an address pointing to the image.
After you load the article you should download each image asynchronously. For this I'd suggest you use NSOperation and NSOperationQueue.
There is a tutorial in Ray Wenderlich website which shows how to accomplish this.
You could use some kind of cache to avoid the images downloading each time.
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 am developing the functionality of letting the user search the internet for images through any query.
There are services/APIs like Google's (I read that it is deprecated), Yahoo and Bing etc. I want to know, is there any FREE services/APIs/frameworks/libraries for iOS to search for images against any query?
We can fetch the thumbnails against the results URL and populate a grid-view to show the thumbnails. Then download the actual image in the App once the user clicks on a particular image. Is there any such service that is free?
Thanks
you can use flickr, in the Ray Wenderlich site you have a good tutorial of how to use it. About the services you mentions I don't know if the has a public (free) API
