Adding a feed to the built-in NY Times recipe

t0s · 03-03-2011, 11:52 AM

The built-in recipe uses Beautiful Soup to parse the web pages. I am looking to add the Sports section from the Global Edition.

Can I just add a feed to the built in recipe like this to add a Global Sports section?:

feeds =[ ('GlobalSports', 'http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalSports.xml')
]

Thanks in advance for help with my first tweak!

No, you cannot. But the next release has new recipes for the nytimes sports and tech blogs

Thanks for the quick reply, Kovid. I gues that still leaves me wanting for a NY times recipe with Sports from the GLobal edition.

Any plans on adding an International Hereald Tribune (global edition of NYTimes) to the built-ins?

I no longer work on recipes, but I have no objections to accepting such a recipe submitted by someone else.
