How to Retrieve RSS Feeds with Kuroco?

It is possible to retrieve RSS feeds periodically using batch processing and add or update them in Kuroco's content.

Retrieving RSS Feeds​

By writing the following Smarty code in batch processing, you can retrieve the contents of an RSS feed as an associative array.

{get_file var='rss_xml' url='https://www.diverta.co.jp/RSS.rdf' save=false}{* Retrieve the contents of the RSS feed *}
{xmltojson var='rss_json' xml=$rss_xml}{* Convert XML to JSON *}
{assign var='rss_feed' value=$rss_json|@json_decode}{* Convert JSON to an associative array *}
tip

You can confirm the retrieved and converted RSS content by adding the following code for testing:
test:{$rss_feed|@debug_print_var}

Updating Kuroco Content​

When updating multiple pieces of content in bulk, you can reduce the number of requests and processing time by using the bulk_upsert API. Please use it as needed.

Additionally, if you specify in the request body’s topics_id field the item name set in the id_reference_allow_list parameter, you can add or update content using any desired item as the key instead of topics_id.

For example, in the case below, if content with the same ext_1 exists, it will be updated.

{* Convert RSS data to the format of Kuroco content *}
{assign_array var='body'      values=''}
{assign_array var='body.list' values=''}
{foreach from=$rss_feed.entry item='entry'}
    {assign_array var='topics' values=''}
    {assign       var='topics.topics_id' value='ext_1'}
    {assign       var='topics.subject'  value=$entry.title}
    {assign       var='topics.ext_1'    value=$entry.id}
    {assign       var='topics.ext_2'    value=$entry.updated}
    {assign var='body.list.' value=$topics}
{/foreach}

{* Bulk update of content *}
{api_internal
    var='response'
    status_var='status'
    endpoint='/rcms-api/1/topics/bulk_upsert'
    method='POST'
    queries=$body
    member_id=1}
