Discuss RSS feed and JSON response

Meta
1

So, I was curious about finding a way to post recent topics on the main site, and looked into it briefly. Turns out that this forum has a neat option to grab just about any page as an RSS feed, or as a JSON response:

Simply append either .rss or .json to the end of a url to get the appropriate data return.

For the front page, you can use:

https://discuss.pixls.us/latest.rss
https://discuss.pixls.us/latest.json

If you wanted only a feed for a particular category, like the Processing category:

Or for a particular topic, like the recent Raw photography and noise topic:

Which is pretty cool, in my opinion… :slight_smile:

Awesome! That’ll need to be client side JavaScript, right?

Hah, nice. That’s what I get for fiddling with the format of a really old post. :slight_smile:

Yes, I’ll have some client-side js fetch that that last few topic titles and probably include them on the main site under the link for “Discuss”. I’ll also grab the last X blog/article posts and include them as well.

This is something I’ve been toying with for ages, but just haven’t found time to sit down and do. :slight_smile:
