Translators for feedly

helend

I am using feedly (http://cloud.feedly.com) as my RSS reader for Journal contents and prefer directly to save paper metadata (and pdfs) into Zetero.

I have checked the request of feedly with HTTPFox plugin in Firefox. The metadata is not stored in the html source, but in the separate GET request with application/json type which has the link (see originId or htmlUrl below).

The existing translators seems directly to parse the html codes. Is it possible to develop a translator for feedly? Is there some examples?

Any suggestion are welcome.


An example of json result:

if you can get the URL for the get request from the page, sure, you can use ZU.doGet to get the JSON and then just parse it (see e.g. the imdb translator or the dpla translator for examples of parsing JSON).

What would not currently be possible is to run the actual site translator (i.e. in your case nature) for articles from an RSS reader.
