rssCloud implementors -- how often do you ping? #280

Open scripting opened 7 months ago

scripting commented 7 months ago

This question came up in our work on FeedLand -- how often do rssCloud implementors ping us?

  1. Only when an item is created?
  2. Or when it changes (and when it's created)?

To be clear, FeedLand likes the second scenario. We want to keep the content in our database current with what's in the feed.

I ping every time my RSS feed updates so that means new and updated.

BTW, what prompted this query was a question of how WordPress does it.

On wordpress.com they ping on every change, ie option 2.

But it's done by a plugin so other WordPress installations may do it differently. At least that's my current understanding.

On new items and changes to existing items. It's a signal that "hey, something's changed, now would be a good time to refetch the rss feed"
