Tutorial Details

Before going on, take a minute to read over the Generating RSS and Atom Feeds page in our documentation. That should give you a basic overview.

We're going to configure our "Shopping Site" scraping session so that it generates a feed of products based on a search parameter. That is, we'll give it a search keyword (e.g., "bug" or "dvd"), it will extract the product data, then create an XML feed out of the scraped data. For testing purposes we'll just access the XML feed from a web browser, though you could just as easily access it from an RSS/Atom reader.
