About Google Ajax Feed API's result.feed.entries.length

[ayrtbh]

Hello,

my question 1 is:

var feed = new google.feeds.Feed("http://a_wordpress_blog/?
feed=rss2");
feed.setNumEntries(-1);// I want to fetch all the entries of the feed

and

var feed = new google.feeds.Feed("http://another_wordpress_blog/?
feed=rss2");
feed.setNumEntries(-1);

why these two blogs return different "result.feed.entries.length"?

is there a entries.length limitation in google ajax feed api? or it's
a setting in wordpress dashboard?

and question 2 is:

I can't fetch <img> content in some wordpress blog of its
entry.content, it seems that entry.content only shows the text
content...

sorry for my poor english and silly question...

Re: question 1: There are a number of reasons that the number of entries would differ between two different blogs. Probably most likely is that there is a different number of entries on them, but it could also be because Google crawled them first at different times and subsequently determined different cutoff points for the historical entries threshold. There is a limitation in the Feeds API that it won't return more than 250 results, but in order to get all 250, you have to call feed.includeHistoricalEntries();

Re: question 2: The content property of the entry should include everything that's in the description element of the entry on the feed. If that's not the case, you could get the feed in mixed format and check the entry's xmlNode for your img element using standard DOM methods.

Thanks Jeremy!

includeHistoricalEntries() really helps! though I can only get 100
entries at max, I think it's the cutoff problem now.
I'd better dig deeper in standard DOM methods to get the really blog
content, not just the description element.

thanks again for your kindly reply!
