Hi everyone,
Is there a way (API probably) to parse this forum via LiveCode?

Thanks!
Catalin

Depends on the data you want. The RSS feed link at the top left of the home page is probably a good place to start.

Seems that icon got dropped during a recent update. I've dropped a note to Heather asking for it to be reinstated.

Any masochists among us are welcome to grab all of the section-specific RSS feeds, but if you want a single feed for the forums as a whole the URL is:
http://forums.livecode.com/feed.php

Thanks for the input,
So if I got it well it means I need to refresh the feed.php link very often to add the new modifications ?
There is no option where I can get a (very big) file (txt for example or whatever type) with all the forum in it ?
What would be the easiest way to get the forum live in LiveCode ?

Regards,
Catalin

This web-based forum is currently accessible via a Web browser. The database behind it weighs in at 386 MBs today, growing daily. Summaries of recent activity are available as RSS, but I know of no API to obtain all content posted here.

What would you like to do?

Probably you want to parse the XML of the RSS feed, here there is an example: http://livecodeitalia.blogspot.it/2014/ ... ss_22.html
You can use the Google translate button in the top right to translate that page to your language.
