LWN syndication
There are currently three ways to get LWN's headlines in a form suitable
for inclusion on another page:
- LWN headlines are available in the RDF Site
Summary (RSS) format at http://lwn.net/headlines/rss.
This is an XML-based format which contains quite a bit of information.
- The headlines are available as a collection of links, one per line, at
http://lwn.net/headlines/html.
This file can be included directly, or preprocessed prior to use as
your site's needs dictate. All of the current LWN daily headlines are
found in this file.
- Finally, the headlines are available as a simple delimited text file
at http://lwn.net/headlines/text.
Successive entries are separated by a line containing only
'&&'. There are three lines (currently) in each
entry containing the headline text, the URL, and the category and
date, respectively.
Beyond headlines, we offer two other feeds:
- Recently-posted comments (to all articles) can be followed at http://lwn.net/headlines/Comments.
Append "?n=#" to get more or less than the default number of
comments (50), where, of course, "#" is the number you actually want.
- New: LWN original content which appears on the front page as
"featured content" is tracked in the feed at http://lwn.net/headlines/Features.
For the sake of our server bandwidth, please do not load the headlines more
than, say, once every fifteen minutes.
