Feed Hasn't Updated in 2 Weeks
braiiins
seen here - http://focusorganic.com/focusorganicwidget.php ), which
was working perfectly until November 24th, when it just stopped
loading the feed. The feed still works fine ( http://focusorganic.com/feed
) and is updating, and has a large number of subscribers, none of
which have reported a problem.
I'm not sure what the problem is, I haven't changed anything in the
code since it was working. I did try the Feed Wizard (http://
www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/dynamicfeed.html) again, and when
I enter my feed address, it is saying "No URLs found," but if I enter
the keyword "focusorganic," it finds the feed and displays the feed
content from November 24th and earlier.
Please help!

The documentation states that feedfetcher updates every couple of
hours or so.. I had to run my example at least 20 times before it
fetched a new copy of the feed. It was out of sync by 7 days.
Are there additional options/parameters that can be configured to
adjust this?
What about adding ?v=random parameters to avoid caching?
I understand both the need and desire to cache, but a 7 day lag is
unacceptable.
Any suggestions?

We've been investigating this issue, could you tell me the feed URL
where you were seeing this behavior?
Thank you,
Jeff
SV Billabong
Sure.. In this case it is http://www.winlink.org/dotnet/maps/RSSPositionReports.aspx?callsign=VA7KER
It doesn't get much traffic but I use the feed to build maps so people
can follow along on.. people tend to get worried if it doesn't update
in days!!
I've noticed it in other cases (and feeds) but usually while
prototyping (i.e only one view every once in a while)!!
Thanks

won't update. I do have over 1000 feed readers, so it's not that it's
not viewed enough.

down. We've been working on this and I'll keep this thread updated
with progress. Apologies for the delay!
Thank you,

reported in this thread. A more permanent solution should be rolled
out in our system shortly.
Happy coding,

Can you let us know here when it rolls out?

separately?
I'm interested in historical entries and wondering if loading the feed
in Google Reader also "stores" these historical entries for the AJAX
feed extraction.
Will the feed be constantly updated (daily?) or does a AJAX feed based
utility need to be run in order to trigger a fetch in order to store
entries?
Thanks

feeds for Google Reader. So if you load something in Reader, it should
(theoretically) be cached in the Feeds API.

Can someone from Google clarify? I can't base a project around "should
(theoretically)"!!
Also is there anyway to update the cache (for changed entries)? An
automatic check would be great but a force update mode would work too.
An example would be a wordpress blog with typically 10 entries in the
feed. The user can change the feed length temporarily, would the new
updated entries be re-cached or would the old content remain?
Thanks

The feeds system does take into account the caching information
provided in the HTTP headers for your RSS/Atom feed. So if for example
there is a blog post which the headers say, for example, can be cached
for a couple of months, then they may not be updated before then, so
recent changes might not be picked up. Currently the server doesn't
pass along any cache-control headers which the client might send,
which means there isn't a mechanism for the client to invalidate the
cache. You may have to wait for the item to outlive the cache time
before it would be refetched. If you are concerned about edits not
showing up, perhaps you could set a shorter cache time on more
frequently updated items and use longer cache settings for posts which
are going to be updated less often.
Thank you,
Jeff

Is it possible to get more than 250 entries?
SV Billabong
I'm still having delays on feed updates..
I usually have to load a feed a couple of times before it "refreshes"
with the latest content.
The feedfetcher doesn't seem to poll for new data.. it's as if the API
call triggers the update check (but returns cached data) which doesn't
appear until the page is reloaded (later).
Jeff S (Google)
How long is the update delay that you are seeing? Your intuition is
very good, when we have cached data but it is old we will in some
cases return the cached data so that the response is timely and also
kick off a background request to update the cache. For this reason you
might not see new content for a few seconds depending on how long it
takes to fetch and process the feed from the content's server. If you
could send me the URL for this feed I'd be happy take a closer look.
Also, in regards to your last question, the current maximum for
historical entries is 250.
Thank you,
Jeff

>your intuition is very good
Don't all coders think alike :)
I was just working a test case that took over 10-15 minutes to
appear.. The strange thing is that it appeared immediately when I ran
it via the AJAX playground (coincidence?).
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#historical_entries
I don't have any specific URL cases because I run it on all sorts of
random feeds.
What's strange is I've tried the feedurl?v=x hack and the delay (for a
new feed) isn't that long.
I may be looking for a new solution anyway .. an ancient request makes
it impossible to process modern feed/post data.

Thanks again for your help

Any chance pubsubhubbub (pshb) will be used by the feedfetcher when
available?
Or scheduled updates? (by 4pm each day)
The problem is that I (and my users) can't tell when data is old and
out of date and I don't think your polling is working correctly
(still)
For Example: this morning I loaded a Google reader folder feed.. and
the most recent entry was from Jan 26.. skipping over 300 new entries.
