Getting full RSS feed from select urls to post in autoblogs

I am looking for a way to create an RSS feed from individual URLs ( much like how hostmyrss operates). This RSS feed will be used to autopost in WPRobot.

My issue is that I can only post partial feeds that have a few lines. I want the entire article.

I would like to do a search on something like PRWeb, or ezinearticles for my specific niche.
Then, get all those urls together to create my own feed to post.

I've been messing around with Yahoo pipes, but I can't get a valid feed out of it ( based on feedvalidator.org ). And, from the feed I do get, it still shows just the title with a few lines.

Any suggestions?

    I'm not completely sure I understand you but an RSS feed from a website that you do not own is controlled by the site owner.

    For instance, in wordpress, you can set your RSS feed to be either a short excerpt or the full article and if you set it as an excerpt, that is all I'm going to get if I try to pull it into my RSS reader.

      You can create an RSS feed from URLs that you list. That's what hostmyrss.com does. You can put up to 100 static urls in there, it will look at the content, and provide a feed for it using the title and description.

      I'm hoping to find something like that that uses the title and body content.

    Well the small lines of text is determined by the owner of that original site. If they don't publish the full article in their feed (if they have a feed), then you do NOT have the authority to scrape their entire content.

    That would be illegal and grounds for a lawsuit against you.

    There is software out there that that can do this, but using it the wrong way can land you in trouble and I won't name it here.

    If you want to scrape FULL articles, use your own source and not other peoples (unless you have their permission). You can also use some directories/syndication sources like UAW or AMA that supply full articles (with links in them) for you.

      Yes... I agree with you 100%


      I'm looking at using specific urls at ezinearticles that match my search criteria. These posts would come in as a feed right to my autoblog, with the article and author box. I wouldn't think there would be any issue there for anyone.

      The problem with their current feed is that it is category driven, and it's too generic for what I'm looking for. I'm more niched than that.
